‘Graphic Novel – Update No.2′
Hello folks, I’m still making progress! It’s all pretty darn exciting stuff. At the moment, I’m currently working as hard as Phil in the above sequence, and I’m beginning to finalise a few actual pages. There has been a gradual shift from the development stage to the “let’s finish this thing before I get bored” stage. The process has generally felt quite natural and relaxed. (I don’t feel like I’m overexerting myself!)
Of course, there are a lot of sketchy looking pages…
“A standard evening at the pub…”
However, based on current developments, I have decided to set myself a fairly serious deadline… The whole book will be inked, coloured, tweaked and ready for print by 15/04/2014!
“Potential front cover design…?”
Thanks for reading!
(One final note, all these images are still work in progress and may be subject to change.)

‘Graphic Novel – Update No.1’
Hello chums.
I thought I’d just share a quick graphic novel update with everyone. I’m making good progress so far and I’m managing to meet my weekly targets. However, the schedule is fairly relaxed at the moment since I’m using this stage of the development process to experiment a little with colour and layouts, etc. Currently I have 106 very sketchy looking pages that look a bit like this…
I’m hoping to start working on finished pages by December. I do have a few pages that look more like the first image in this post, but they are still work in progress and there’s a fair bit of tweaking to do. A lot of the dialogue needs a good deal of work too. The basic text is in place so that I understand what’s happening on each page but it needs more developing to make it flow nicely!
“My home for the next few months”
I hope to do more detailed updates soon which explain more specific parts of my process but its early days as yet and I’ve still got a lot to learn! Overall I’m pleased with the story, the payoffs and the character development. Also, I think there’s a nice balance of humour and action (insert sci-fi gun fight noises here.) Well, that’s it for now; let me know if you have any questions or if you wish to share some advice with me. It’s certainly been educational so far!
Thanks for reading!
