Hetalia Fancomic Ideas. Collaborators??
Are there any artists and/or writers out there who'd be interested in collaborating on a Hetalia comic? I have two ideas, one of which requires the help of maybe one or two co-artists, the other of which would require a bigger group of collaborators. Depending on which idea is more popular and how many people are interested in being a part of it, I'll pursue one of these projects! Click the link to DA here or jump the cut for more info.
I'm interested in starting a Hetalia comic, something a bit long or ongoing, not just a strip or a one/two page thing. It's something that will most likely involve collaborators (maybe a lot of them, maybe a little, because I draw so freakin slow). I have two main ideas...
1. Hetalia World Chaos.
A 2P invasion of sorts. 2P is weird but pretty interesting to me, and my goal here was to try to give the 2P versions more relevance, which means give them more of a purpose as well as an origin. I've landed on the explanation that since the "1P" characters personify nations, it means they represent order, society, structure, culture, and similar such things. In that sense, the 2P characters represent the opposite; in short, chaos. That means they are not pure evil so much as they are completely reckless, unpredictable, and disharmonious. In my head, they're spawned from incidents in the nation's history that threatened to destroy the nation or the nations' people, or something to that effect (for example, for the sake of the story, England first became aware of 2P england when the black plague struck). I think there may be other elements that factor in as well--don't quote me on these tihngs yet, I'm still figuring out what will work best xD I was thinking of getting some collaborators to possibly help design or help with the art.
2. Epic Hetalia.
Just a working title. This is my idea to give Hetalia fans the more serious, epic version of Hetalia that many of us are fascinated by and sometimes wish we could see in Himaruya's work. Think of all those epic youtube videos like "History is Now," and that's basically what I'm going for. It wouldn't be a linear retelling of world history, but everything portrayed would fit together--so incidents from one strip might carry over or be referenced into another one. Obviously, because we're dealing with personifications of nations, it will NOT be the equivalent of a history textbook, it'd just be Hetalia with a more serious, epic tone. I will of course handle the history respectfully and sensibly, as I love history and study it and actually research it for fun. For this idea, I'm interested in working with a bigger group of collaborators--scriptors, artists, and "historians" who might want to just give their knowledgeable input on subjects in history. Or people who can fulfill all three roles. That way, people can focus/work on whichever parts of history they prefer/know more about. Would anyone be interested in a project like this? Whether it's helping with art, or scripting, or just offering assistance here and there? For this particular project, the more talent working on it, the merrier xD This sounds like a big project, but I plan to start small and see where it goes from there.
Please comment here or at my DA (Malsavaidity) if your interested in either of these ideas, whether you're just interested in reading them, or interested in creating them with me. Because I'd be making these for fellow fans, I wanted some input before I decided to pursue any of these ideas.
