Here’s a peak at a page from Chapter 2:
I’m busy working my way through the colors in chapter 2 and they are coming together really fast. I’m pretty proud of this chapter and the storytelling along with everything else in it. I had done some back and forth recently about releasing this book to everyone as each chapter was completed but really felt in the end that that wasn’t the point at all. I want to show everyone this book complete. So I will be continuing to just work my way through. I’m hoping to be done by July this year, if not earlier. Once the book is done in large order I will probably start the hunt for a publisher again before eventually self-publishing. Lots to think on, but the most important thing at this point is finishing the book. All of the business stuff can figure itself out once i have a quality product on my hands.
Chapter 3 is coming together in the penciling phase. It’s a pretty complicated chapter, but I guess I feel that way about all of them. Lot’s of rewriting going on as I think through story notes given to me by others and my own weaknesses in my writing. But I think it will shape up well. It’s an exciting chapter to be working on because the story takes its turning point there and starts to really ramp up. I should be inking pages for it next month.
Hope you all like the preview page, more to come as I get things in order.
It’s awesome to see your progress, keep going! Starting to shape up into something really good, even though we can’t all see your complete workload yet of what you’ve done. 🙂
I decided that if I was going to try and do a graphic novel myself, I’d do a short 12-page comic first to see if I’ve still got the drive to complete it and do it justice in a deadline, so I’ve thumbnailed all of them today. 🙂 Personally looking forward to beginning of sketching, but I can already see how hard it must be to keep going on something this huge, so big kudos to you! ^_^
Thank you Hannah! I’m really proud of the work so far and think its shaping into a really good book.
That’s awesome news to hear you want to try your own hand at one! That always get me psyched up! Good luck on it and look forward to the pages,.
