Progress Update & Colorist Tryouts

Progress has been wonderful in the past week, and we are still on track to release a Deathlings preview comic in October or November (first online, then in print). Just to give you an idea of how things are moving, Manuela has completed the pencils for pages 1-5, and inks for pages 1-2, and I have lettered 1-4.

Now that we have some pages done, we're spending more and more effort finding the ideal colorist for the project. It's been a great experience, and a chance to work with some talented and creative people.

We're looking for someone interested in working on a (for now) Indie comic project, who has a great sense of light, shadow, and texture, and who finds real and fantasy/horror situations equally appealing. If you are interested in being involved, please contact me and I can provide more details.

We have had try-outs submitted by some wonderful artists, and expect to hear from a handful more in the next week or so, before we make a decision. I thought this week's blog post would be the ideal time to show you some of what has been submitted so far.

To see all of the try-outs, as well as some great pinup and fan art, check out my Deathlings Gallery over on DeviantArt. If you like any of these, be sure to tell the talented artists who worked hard to create the colors. (All line art by Manuela Soriani.)

Thanks for following the blog, and supporting The Deathlings. Keep an eye out next week, I believe we will be ready to show you some inked pages by Manuela. Before long, we will also have news on our selection of a colorist.
