Carnivore Carnival 35: The Widower page 1 of 14

Carnivore Carnival updates with the first page of The Widower, a new 14-page story!

Since I am back online, it is time to return to these posts!

Meanwhile, if you have missed the previous tale, The Herb, here’s the first page of it. Enjoy!

Current project upheaval…

Inkbook #2:

No progress since the last update, still stuck on nine pieces. I’ll try to squeeze in some once I’m further ahead with comics work.

Moon Jade Angel #2:

This one’s being set back a bit. Why? Because I have decided to separate the comics content basing it on a simple equation. People who want my comics in print will probably be unwilling to pay 6$ for a book that has 10-20 pages of comics, whereas people who buy these for the art pages alone won’t really care if the comics are gone. So the current amount of finished art is probably below 10 pages.

Coilstar Illustrated #1:

So far it’s a working title but it’ll probably stick. 52 pages of comics and nothing but comics, full color and priced 5.99$. Got at this point 34 pages ready and two more half-ready (a short comic that needs some edits). It’ll also reprint the 14 pages of comics from MJA #1 (which is part of those 24 pages) and contain every short color comic that I did up until this day. Well, every existing one that is. I can’t reprint work from my childhood or the 90s for a simple reason, those pages don’t exist anymore. Hoping to have this one finished for June.

Robyn Hood:

No change since the last update, except I’m pretty certain it’ll end up in Coilstar Illustrated #2 (if it’s finished in time for that).

“nanowrimo novel”:

Still in proofreading. Maybe I can have it out by the time next nano happens? Hopefully.

Amen City Chronicles:

Not really moving forward as I’m trying to build a large buffer for Carnivore Carnival first.

Carnivore Carnival:

Currently have a buffer of 12 pages (pages 3-14 of The Herb) and I’m trying to find the next story to work on.

Script Frenzy:

It appears this project is off, sadly. Unfortunately it’s too late to start this or the planned “Thumbnail Crazy” variant for I was way too busy working on The Herb.

other projects:

I’ve been toying with the idea of an improvised b&w heroic fantasy/action comic, but I have no idea whether I’ll start working on it soon or not. Also, other projects are bumping around my brain, making it difficult to focus on a single thing. We’ll see what comes out of this.

Carnivore Carnival 22: The Herb page 2 of 14

Carnivore Carnival has updated today morning with the second page of The Herb.

Also, the entire comic is entirely drawn, colored and pre-uploaded, so the updates up to May 27th are no guaranteed.

(unless of course Drunkduck goes under or something).

Carnivore Carnival 21: The Herb page 1 of 14

Well, here it is, the long delayed The Herb storyline. Page 1 of 14 going live on Carnivore Carnival.

Current state of the story: all 14 pages are drawn, 6 of which have been colored.

Carnivore Carnival 20: Taxi! page 1 of 1

Carnivore Carnival updates with the shortest story yet, Taxi!.  Next Monday: The Herb page 1.

Race against the clock…

All fourteen pages have been written, pencilled, scanned, inked (pretty much redrawn during that phase), edited, lettered and partially re-written, flatted… and now I’m ready to tackle the final part of the equation. The coloring…

I have about 8 hours to finish the work. Damn, that’s going to be one heavy night. But I’ll give it all that I can so that The Herb can not only go live on Monday, but so that I can have it all uploaded before the Taxi! 1-pager debuts in the morning (or at the midnight, according to whatever timezone the server is in).

Back to work for me!

Carnivore Carnival 19: Making History page 2 of 2

Today, Carnivore Carnival has updated with the second half of Making History.

And late to post this post again, but at least the comic page goes online (as it’s automated).

Current state of The Herb (the 14 page story). Twelve pages fully inked and flatted, going to try inking one more tonight.

Carnivore Carnival 18: Making History page 1 of 2

Today, Carnivore Carnival has updated with the first half of Making History.

And I’m as always late to post about it, heh.

Current state of The Herb (the 14 page story). Four pages fully inked and flatted, 5th page partially inked.

Coming soon at Carnivore Carnival: The Herb

The Herb is based on a sci-fi story I wrote about ten years ago. That’s all Im’ saying for now. 14 pages, and if nothing goes wrong, it should start April 12th. Of course I need to finish the damned thing and have barely began inking. Still, I should make it in time (I hope).

Here are the inks for the first page:

Carnivore Carnival 17: The Town at the End of the World page 3 of 3

The fourth Carnivore Carnival story concludes with its third and final page. And thus, The Town at the End of the World ends, at least in this version (I’m still toying with the idea of reviving the concept at some later date to fully explore what the title meant and all the potential characters).

Starting on Thursday, Making History, and then next Thursday, Taxi!.
