ARCANE FICTION LIMITED EDITION
Q: What are the main steps for creating an AR comic, from concept to release?
A: I create my AR comics like you would a tradi- tional comic. I write the script and then create a rough storyboard for the entire issue paying close attention to pacing, dialogue placement and variety in composition. The AR is used as a final step to enhance and expand the traditional comic experience rather than replace it.
Q: How many creatives typically collaborate on a project like this, and what roles do they fill?
A: There are eight major roles to fill, writer, penciler, inker, colorist, letterer, animator, au- dio design and programmer. For Neon Waste- land #2 I took on all roles except audio and color. Ideally each role would be filled by an individual or multiple individuals to increase production time dramatically.
Q: Right now, the audio includes music and SFX-how do you plan to incorporate full-cast voice performances? Is it possible? Will read- ers be able to choose when to hear characters speak?
A: Yes, in Lost Souls of Saturn we experimented with spoken narrative sections which can lend some real gravitas to your pages. I think it's fine to have spoken work as long as you give the read- er the choice to mute it or to speed things along. The last thing you want to do is slow them down or rush them through the pages.
Q: Where can someone get a printed copy of one of your AR comics?
A: Both Neon Wasteland and End of the World Pizza are sold out but I will be offering a very limited number of copies on my webstore for a limited time. This will be the last chance to grab the original comics before the remake hits shelves in 2026. Scan the included QR code to visits my online shop.
Q: How do you use the AR app? Is it easy to get?
A:Yes the app is 100% free and is available for both Android and iOS devices. Use the QR code to download the app for your device. Once installed open the app and point it at the sample pages to bring them to life.
