Behind the Scenes Progress

The project has been going for less than three weeks, and we're already making great progress.

The outline for the entire six-issue "Anne's Story" mini-series is complete, broken down by issues. Character sketches and official designs have been coming back from the wonderful artists, based on written descriptions of all of the characters for the first few issues. We have a one-page publisher pitch written, ready for when we have enough final art to show them. We're even making progress in our search for a cover artist, letterer, pinup artists, and a color artist.

Plus, as you can see, the Deathlings website is now live, along with this blog. I've hidden a few other things out there on the Internet for you to find, and there are more to come.

Starting on August 15th, the art team will be finishing up deadlines on other projects, and officially begin work on Issues #0 and #1 of "The Deathlings: Anne's Story". Around that time, we will make an official announcement of the team so far.

As of today, the first drafts of the 5 page Issue #0, and the 21-page Issue #1 (or a 26 page first issue) are done. I will be putting the finishing touches on them, and doing some re-writing where necessary, in time to have a final draft off to ________ and ________ one week from today.

By this winter, both issues will be complete, and the preview will be available. Then our efforts can focus on pitching to publishers, visiting conventions, and the process of finding ways to share our story with you.

In the meantime, keep up to date on our progress, and see teasers from the story and art, right here!

  1. I'm so excited to see what you have in store! I know it is going to blow our minds, though; I remember how exact you've wanted things to be for Anne!
