A boy and his sword

While I was away on vacation with my family, I took some time to re-think my comic, Boy X Sword. When I started writing it, manga was my main influence and I wanted to write something like it, and there were so many things I also wanted to include, ninjas, samurais, swordsmen, slaves, victorian outfits... It was fun writing something like that! But now I'm aiming towards something more... Consistent? Coherent? I'm not sure. What I know is that the new BxS will be set in two post-colonial nations, Quito and Quil. Instead of developing a plot that deals with several subjects over a number of chapters like manga does, I'm thinking of writing shorter, self-containing "books" that deal with a certain subject each. The first one should be Kathy's family.

The main character will still be Ruu, but I'm thinking of ways to make him more interesting, less predictable, dunno. To tell the truth, I'm going through most character designs and storylines to see how I can get the best out of them. The funny thing is, the main concept behind these characters stays the same, but is enhanced by these small (and sometimes a bit large) changes.

Well, for now that's all I can say, I'm hoping to draw some sketches / concepts soon.

Thanks to everyone who's encouraged me to keep on with my thesis and also to everyone who's read and left comments on Guerra + Santa, you've all been very helpful! I'm glad to tell you that my thesis is almost over, I'll probably finish it this week!

That's all for now, see you next time!
