jakerupert Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Hi all, I build a provisorical website for the development of one of my projects: "Marina Vonsee und der Schrecken der Südsee" The shootingboard in comicstripform is finished, now starting to do the animatic for sound and timing, see DEMO button. Also many models finished. On a sideeffect I published my comicbookscribbles as books from BoD (Books on Demand) just out of curiosity for these new possibilities. It`s all German for the time being... http://www.marinavonsee.de http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showt...RAND+MECHAJOUST Quote
Admin Rodney Posted August 20, 2010 Admin Posted August 20, 2010 Nicely modeled and rendered! I like the caricatured design. It's like a Stian Ervik Wahlvåg masterpiece... but simplified and cute. More please! Oh wait a second... you have posted more via your website! Cool. http://www.jostkeller.de/marinavonsee.de/3DModelle.html Tell us more about those comics. Did you draw all of those? Whoever did... I really like the layout and style. I published my comicbookscribbles as books from BoD These are wonderful. Now you've got me very intriqued. If I can afford it I'd like to purchase some of these. Quote
Paul Forwood Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Wow! You have been busy, Jake! Terrific stuff! Quote
jakerupert Posted August 20, 2010 Author Posted August 20, 2010 Thank you for your nice comments. Yes I drew everything during my sparetime over the years. Maybe there`s a chance to publish all of that as an e-book later to make it easier and cheaper to purchase. Here`s some more model-previews. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted August 20, 2010 Admin Posted August 20, 2010 Very impressive Jost! You have quite a talent for translating your drawings into computer models. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 20, 2010 Hash Fellow Posted August 20, 2010 Those look wonderful! I particularly like the planes. Marina Vonsee und der Schrecken der Südsee Let's see... translated with high school German that says "Marina Vonsee and the Terrors of the South Sea" Quote
Paul Forwood Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 More and more great stuff! I love that squid sub/Nautilus. Quote
jakerupert Posted August 22, 2010 Author Posted August 22, 2010 Thank you all for the nice words. I added an Englishversion to my website for you readers here. Please excuse my poor english... Quote
jakerupert Posted August 23, 2010 Author Posted August 23, 2010 There`s quite an interesting discussion going on here on the topic of animation and money in these days: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php...mpaign=20100816 I hope, it`s o.k. to post this link here? Else please simply delete my post. Quote
jakerupert Posted September 3, 2010 Author Posted September 3, 2010 Due to the overwhelming requests, I made the first 5 books of Marina Vonsee available as pdf-files (free downloadable ) on my website www.marinavonsee.de Though it`s German only for the time being, it would still be interesting to hear, what you guys can grab from the story thus far... maybe some of you find the time to take a look?

thefreshestever Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 that looks very promising, jake... really looking forward to the movie. since i´m german i thnk i´ll be able to let you know what i think after i´ve read the books.. allerdings druck ich mir sie vorher lieber aus und lese sie in ruhe, was ich im moment nicht machen kann, da ich unterwegs in hamburg bin.

Ich weiß nichts über Deine Druckkosten aber macht`s da nicht vielleicht mehr Sinn, `n schönes Album zu kaufen? ;>) (Du merkst schon, der Geschäftsmann schläft nicht) Bist Du denn länger in Hamburg?

thefreshestever Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 ne, nur bis sonntag... aber ich bin öfter hier... kommst du aus hh? das mit dem kaufen überleg ich mir dann nach der leseprobe Quote
thefreshestever Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 ok, i´ve read the first book on my screen because i was too curious the story seems really cute, i´m looking forward to read more. i like the way you tell the story visually, one can tell you´ve put a lot of thought to it. crit: it´s a bit exhausting to read, everything gets fuzzy after a while. a bit more room for the speech bubbles here and there wouldn´t be a bad idea i think... but i guess you´ve heard that one before and decided that it´s just part of your style... can´t wait so see it in 3D, your models are awesome... i´d go for the toon-render version if you ask me. but you will need some help animating even one of the books i guess. i looked up the price for your books on amazon, and i really would have bought one or even all of them if they´re catchy enough (i think they are, have to read some more first), but i think they´re too expensive. 16,90 € is way too much for a comic book that is read in about 20 minutes. i think you would make a lot more money with it if you´d decide to sell it at a much lower price. i mean 24 x 16,90? that´s more than 400 bucks to read the whole story.

Quite true everything. The price is kind of dictated by BoD for a colored book that size. It`s way too expensive. Maybe I can publish the whole thing cheaper as e-book in the far future. But I am not reckoning on a comercial succsess though anyhow. Mainly it`s just for me as a platform to present my ideas for funding a movie or finding an editor to do finalized (not scribbled) comic-books. If some hardcorefans looking for the unusual would buy some books, that would just be on top. At total costs up to now of about 2000,- € (2 test-books each for me inclusive ) this investion seemed to be worthwhile to me. Let`s see, what will come out of it. Quote
thefreshestever Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 privat. hab´n paar freunde in hamburg, die ich mehr oder weniger regelmässig besuche. ja klar, können uns gerne bei meinem nächsten hamburg-trip mal treffen, dann kennt man wenigstens einen hier aus´m forum auch mal persönlich kann dir ja einfach hier über´s forum schreiben wenn der nächste termin feststeht.

jakerupert Posted September 4, 2010 Author Posted September 4, 2010 Sorry, dies Wochende fahr ich raus auf`s Land... Viel Spaß Bis zum nächsten Mal! (this is nothing important) Quote
Fuchur Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Sorry, dies Wochende fahr ich raus auf`s Land... Viel Spaß Bis zum nächsten Mal! (this is nothing important) Vorsicht Jungs, die Forenregeln verbieten eigentlich länger Diskussionen in deutsch Für sowas gibts ja eigentlich bei mir die deutsche Community... auch wenn sie zugegebener maßen ziemlich ruhig ist [Careful boys, the foren rules doesnt allow longer discussions in german For such things there is the german community at my website... so I have to admit that it is quite quiet there.] *Fuchur* Quote
Admin Rodney Posted September 4, 2010 Admin Posted September 4, 2010 Due to the overwhelming requests, I made the first 5 books of Marina Vonsee available as pdf-files (free downloadable ) on my website I'm a little slow making the rounds these days so I just now read this.... This is such a cool thing for you to do for us. Thanks so much! Quote
mouseman Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 I read the first comic from your site (Marina Vonsee Bd 01)! Even with my basic German reading skills, I could read most of it, albeit slowly. I had some problems reading the writing in places, which makes it harder for a foreigner to read. Even with that, it was quite enjoyable! ETA: The third comic (Bd 03) is gives a file not found when trying to download it. Jakerupert & Thefreshestever, I hope the two of you are able to meet up one day in Hamburg! The forums are great, but I think in-person discussions would be even better! Quote
jakerupert Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 >ETA: The third comic (Bd 03) is gives a file not found when trying to download it. I am happy, you could enjoy some even without english language. Maybe I will publish the whole thing chapterwise, when I find a suitable platform for this. Quote
