This is from my Western Fantasy...Tendmar, a magical Oasis out in the Varkarian desert somewhere...this special place is overseen and cared for by the Vardune, one of the oldest, magical creatures around to still live...The Vardune finds Sara and Chetan barely hanging on to life and guides them here, to this tropical water haven...Art work done in bryce and and post work done in Coral painter and Photoshop...Image copyright © 2008, Michael Laforce.

Your art and storytelling'ability are both quite impressive ML. Are your illustrated stories online as yet? (read: I'd love to read em, please forward url if so, if not why not? you've got talent!) (you probably shouldn't act so surprised at that - Ed) Piss off Ed. Lookin forward to reading more. mXm |

This artwork is actually part of a story board that I am putting together with other artist that are helping me...The plan is to, at some point in the future introduce my script and story board along with other material to one of the studios in order to get this project up on the big screen...I literally have hundreds of 2-D art work from my story but I am only introducing a small amount as to not give to much away...It will be awhile before I can finish this project because I am making a documentary of my travels across the states and the people I meet and that is going to take at least 2 to 3 years of my life...Thanks for your input and appreciation, it means a lot...

*slide on purple cord blazer with patches at elbow* *shove mr. bubble pipe in mouth* Your storytelling voce' (he means voice, I think - Ed) yes, piss off Ed, is spot on, very well suited to your artistic compositional styling. *blow bubbles pensively* _Combined_ these two forms seem to create vista-like short-story snapshot vignettes that serve to both draw the viewer in and fire the or at least certainly, this viewer's imagination cortex. *blow bubbles* or alternatively, "very cool". You seem to be on creative fire of late MLA. More power to ye. my advice, (which let's keep in mind here, is coming from a raging lunatik - Ed) is to find a way to focus your creative energies at this time so that you can raise some capital and establish a platform for your creative future; that or at least score some plaid-clad femmes out of this.

mXm...No, your advice is right, it's about finding funds and finding funds is probably the hardest thing to do...I already have sponsors for my documentary so that's not a problem and if that works out the way I hope it does then I can take what money I make off of that and use it for my Western Fantasy... I have a diverse and artistic group of friends here in Hawaii, similar to what I think Peter Jackson had in his early days so I have the backup as far as that is concerned and that's not a problem, it's the money and up until now I have had people donate small amounts plus everything I have made has gone into getting this put together... Thanks for the advice and I will keep you updated on what's going on...Are you in the states by any chance? I have been asking some people here at this site that I consider interesting because I would like involve some of you guys in my documentary...Anyways I have to run, so we'll talk to you later... |
