Weekly Update

Unfortunately, we don't have any news this week announcing our colorist. We are down to two very strong contenders, who are working on page samples. I hope we can announce our colorist next week, or the week after.

However, I have a lot to report on in terms of our progress on the book itself. (Needless to say, the line art is beautiful even without the colors.) As promised, another update:

- Of the 10 pages for the Preview, Inks are done for 7 of them!

- A total of 12 pages (out of 26 for Issues 0 and 1) are now pencilled

- The scripts for Issues 0 and 1 are complete (except for dialogue revisions)

- I have started the script for Issue 2 (and the whole series is plotted)

- Reuben has put together a great concept for the cover for Issue 0

I think it's time to put all of this in some context: On July 22nd, 2009 I started writing my first comic book ever. On August 15th, 2009 the line art team started working. We have now been working as a team for just a month, and I have been writing and editing this project for under two months.

Our self-imposed deadline is to have a preview issue (5 page issue 0, plus the first 5 pages of issue 1) done by the end of next month. With four weeks behind us, that leaves another 4-6 weeks, so things are looking very good.

I'm going to end this week's update with a question. Which would you rather see a preview of, next week?

- A page complete with dialogue

- Another inked page by Manuela (Issue 1)

- An inked page by Michela (Issue 0)

- A colored version of the page from last week?
