Digital Dragons is a comic book project created with
Minecraft (including several mods) and
Comic Life 3. Born from a half-joke/half-desperation move to break me out of another prolonged bout of writer's block, as well as conveniently justify continuing my Minecraft addiction, the comic tells of the first few days of "Sharkerbob" seemingly awakening into his Minecraft avatar, whereupon he becomes stuck in the world of the game! Yes, it's just about the most cliché premise you could think of for a Minecraft "fan fic", but it fits the conceit of the game well enough, and made for an easy jumping off point for wacky early-game shenanigans. As improvised dialogue and characters, I also did not set up anything about the environment ahead of time (aside from one plot-relevant detail), so Sharkerbob's responses are real-time reactions to my own exploration of the area, making for some great organic writing.
This was a really fun project, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed making it!
The comic has been saved as a PDF format, which you can download here:
