![]() So these days I’m definitely doing more writing, and it’s fun getting back into it.ĩ. ![]() And I felt in the last few years I let some of those skills lay dormant because I was so bogged up with drawing. To be honest I always wanted to be a writer more than I wanted to be an artist. I like both, and it really depends on my mood, but lately? Writing. Which do you prefer more, writing or drawing? My process is Chaos and Hoping For The Best.Ĩ. But even then I added 20 pages and rewrote large sections of it from the initial draft. For AWLY I went the more traditional route of having a script, getting it edited, then going to art. I don’t really know how I pulled that off. I think for Commander Rao I did the thumbnails, went straight to art, and then wrote all the actual words retroactively. Do you have a process for writing and drawing? I’m grateful for the opportunity to see my comics in shops and at the hands of readers around the world!ħ. There aren’t that many publishers with open submissions, and Commander Rao was my first Self-Published comic, so I honestly figured I’d just shoot my shot and see what happens. You mentioned earlier that you are now getting the chance to publish Commander Rao and And We Love You through Scout Comics, what led to that happening? I am admittedly not fast at either process. As you are both writer and artist for your stories, would you say its a lengthy process to finish them? Sometimes it’s hard to explain how you feel, and I figured, why not just show people by making them feel the same way I do? Share the pain!ĥ. I’m not great at comedies, so I decided I’d make everyone cry instead! That, and the comics I made all stemmed from some personal experiences that are hard to put into words. So comedies should make people laugh, and tragedies should make people cry (or feel dead inside). I think whatever kind of story you tell, a good story is one that can effectively make the reader feel whatever you want them to feel. What made you decide to go in the non happy endings direction? Generally, we all seem a bit obsessed with romance and happy endings but in your stories, while the romance is there, the happy endings necessarily aren’t. When it ended I found out the story continued in the comics, so I scoured the land ( the GTA) for comic stores hoping to find copies of the comics! On my journey I ended up buying Batwoman: Elegy as well, which loops back to my comic origin story haha.Ĥ. ![]() In high school I watched all of Disney’s Gargoyles for the first time and became obsessed. Outside of creating comics, what got you into comic books over all? I think that’s what really convinced me that comics were the ideal medium to tell my stories in! The problem was that I could not draw at the time, and I actually ended up spending my college years learning to draw from the ground up.ģ. But during the tail end of high school I picked up Batwoman: Elegy and was blown away by its beauty. I’ve always loved storytelling, it was one of my dreams since middle school to become a writer. You’ve got quite the resume under your belt when it comes to making comics, what was the deciding factor for you that led you to wanting to be involved in making comics? Both of which are available now from Scout Comics! In my free time I like to draw sword ladies and play video games.Ģ. Hi! Thanks for having me! I’m Fell, I’m a writer and artist probably best known for creating the sad, Queer Sci-Fi Saga that is Commander Rao and And We Love You. Hello there, and welcome to the Mind Meld here at IndieComiX! For those who may be unaware of you and what it is you do, could you tell us a bit about yourself?
