| Thank God it's over! | ||
| Its been more than three months since I've visibly taken part in the site. Sure "...and Chris" comics have been going up every week, but there were so many problems behind the scenes, that i wasn't sure the website would survive. But here we are, halfway though January, and I've actually gotten some small following. who would have guessed. so I'm going to crank up the tunes and rock out while i tell you all what I've been up to. City of Fever: there are two major CoF projects in the works. I'm working on something that will ultimately act as a guide to the city, and it's surrounding world. i won't say more than that right now, but I'll give you a hint. There will be 78 distinctive visuals. I'm also working on putting together a book of short stories. I know that you all fell in love with the comic, but comic books take a lot of money to produce, and i haven't sold nearly enough copies to be able to afford another comic run. Instead I'm taking a departure from Rast, and I'm telling a lot of smaller stories set in Wave City. I'm also taking story submission, which can be sent to Jobs@madinkpress.com. two rules on submissions. The story must have to do with Wave city, and the science must actually work. if i like your work I'll buy it. Unfortunately due to legal reasons, I'm not allowed to read anything blindly submitted that doesn't include a sentence right at the top waving your right to sue me over using your work without express written permission. I hate it. I'd never use someone else's work! But I will also say that there is no such thing as an original idea and it's very likely that any talented writer will have similar ideas to ones I have. And i won't get sued becasue of it. And Chris: we are going strong. We'll have desktops soon, and we've begun working on t-shirts as well. come October, we may even upgrade to a twice a week schedule if Aodhan the artist can mange. We'll see. Ord: Franklin and i are working on Ord slowly. we've recruited Banu (from City of Fever) to do some coloring work and i will no-longer be doing the coloring myself. Still, Banu is currently doing other more important projects for me, I'm juggling more than i can currently handle, and Franklin has two children and a 9-5 job. We'll probably have new Ord in may. Sorry, but that's the Truth Father and Son: If i could just find a reliable, affordable (free) artist I'd be posting them thrice a week. More Realistically, we won't be seeing Father and Son anytime soon. Which is a shame, becasue it's my favorite of the three web comics i want to do. Other: I've been hired to do a full graphic novel by a mysterious man from the south. I've given up on both sleep and a Social life, and I've become obsessed with Westerns. So far my favorite is still the newer 3:10 to Yuma, but i'm really partial to Unforgiven. It's a new year and we, here at Mad Ink have decided to cook with gas. | ||
