Hello everyone!
I am right now sitting at my desk here mulling over the spawn stories, series, mini series and just the name in general. As a writer I have found it very difficult to put some of my works up here, but this is quite possibly the most difficult of all. Why? Mainly because of my own creations.
I rarely ever choose to talk about my creations because I feel as though I may come off as "trying to boost the ego" or "too full of himself". I was given some advice today by someone who made a lot of sense. "Don't be afraid of rejection, it's all about how well you can climb back up the tree once you have fallen." Right now I am going to talk about one of my heroes, The Umbra Flame. How is this any relation to Spawn? This has a lot of relation to Spawn, seeing how Todd McFarlane and Spawn are the inspiration for this character.
I have been a huge Spawn fan for only God knows how long. There came a point in my life where I had thought none of my creations would ever see the light of day, so I closed up shop and moved here to Texas and found myself working in a fast food place a ways down the road from where I had lived.
I thought "this was it", then of course I met my wife had a child and settled down. I worked at that fast food place for sometime, however with marriage and a baby on the way things changed. I "matured" and found myself leaving this fast food place to get a better job. Great! Well that's what I had thought at the time. It was in telecommunication, definitely not fun, not tolerable either so I left.
Finally a door opened into the graphic and web design world. By walking through that door I stumbled back onto some old writings. These writings have now lead me here speaking to you now. Again how does this relate to spawn? Well as of now, I am sitting here again, now more matured in my ways of thinking and have found myself reading again, the spawn series. In admiring Spawn and McFarlane, I have produced The Umbra Flame. The Umbra Flame is similar to Spawn, but there is a difference, he's from heaven, oh and he's from Texas.
Have I caught your interest? I hope so. Originally I was going to work The Umbra Flame into a Spawn character setting and set up some fan fiction and hopefully send it off to Todd McFarlane himself, in the hopes that he likes it. Then White Mane made a break through. Although it is interesting how most of my heroes are created around a similar setting to Spawn. Maybe someday I will send The Umbra Flame to Todd and maybe someday he may message back, someday.
These are of course all of my fantasies and me breaking out of the shell a little bit to introduce you into my life and emotions even more.
What happens when a Spawn meets a Flame? Chaos. What happens when a Spawn teams up with a Flame? Justice. To be so evil where both heaven and hell turn on you, you know you're doing something wrong. Knowing that I hold the copyright to the umbra flame I have to say is pretty epic, but will he see the light of day? Let's hope so.
If it so happens that things happen this way, wonderful! If not, I can safely see that you will still see The Umbra Flame regardless of what the original intention was for him.
If you want to know more about this character, feel free to comment here on the blog or you can message me on face book.
To end this here, the only thing I can really say is don't let your dreams go. If you have let them go, find and catch them. Hold on to them through the storm,because you never know what you may find on the other side.
This is Sean signing out.
