Yeah, go on, guess.
That's right. It's me. Your favorite lovable blogging internet-type character, back from the veritable comics exile they call Summer Camp. I am sleek, tanned, and ready for action. Poppa's home, boys. Time to get crackin'.
At any rate, I am hard at work on comics and hoping to kick some ass before the general school and winter fugue kicks in, and I am reduced to a sniveling, sniffing pile of wreckage in front of a computer screen, my life-force slowly being drained by Photoshop. Classes start a week before I thought they would - almost two weeks - so I have been scrambling to rearrange my work schedule to fit. In the comics department, I have finished that leviathan of a project, "The Second Coming", and am now working on a bit of an easy piece called "Ian's Dream", based upon the somnic visions of a camp co-worker. I have made up for the relative ease of composition in this piece by making it thirteen pages long (plus title page) - or at least, that's how all the elements fell into place.
Other projects:
Fight or Flight is stalled. Apologies to Skippy (my writer) and Aaron (that other guy I was working with). Hopefully I can get cracking on ish number 3 presently. It's going to take a little time, however, especially with classes leaping on me like a deranged and sexually deviant leopard upon an unsuspecting antelope.
Redtooth is...lost, I suppose? Ever since the nasty break between Dark Corner Productions and Jay Jacot (which inevitably kept getting worse, despite my Pollyanna-ish remonstrances) and my return from camp, I have seen neither hide nor hair of Jay - I need to give him a call sometime. I seriously hope he's out there, somewhere, perhaps looking up at the same moon, and thinking of Comics Past...sigh. Anyway, I still need to get a couple of projects back from the old blighter, so I hope he still takes my calls.
The Empty Quarter, installment 7, and Squidgods are with Jay. I'm hoping to get them back shortly.
Being the ADD-addled twit that I am, I also picked up another project from Skippy. It concerns a rogue angel/vampire/I-don't-know-what-the-hell-he-is who has, well, gone rogue. I'm not sure of all the specifics of the story, but I do have a couple of chapters I need to convert into scripts. I have some killer concept images, too. The project needs a swift kick in the pants if it's ever going to get off the ground; first of all, I need to know where the story's going, and Skippy's not the easiest person to get in contact with. I hope it works out. I should probably focus on Fight or Flight first, though, and then worry about the rest later.
From this list above, I can see I have enough on my plate to keep me fat and happy for a while at least. Dark Corner Productions is inching along splendidly (at least from where I'm standing) - we've started to implement some new policies, including setting weekly production goals, which I hope will give us that steel-toed incentive we need to get things moving. We have a couple of art shows already planned, one in September/October and one in November (nicely spaced, don't you think?) All in all, shaping up slowly but surely.
I'll try to post regularly. Until next time, stay classy.
