Fantasy Comic
Monday, April 27, 2009 at 09:56AM
So, as I have been typing about here for the last year or two; I have been working on a comic project all of my own. Writing a fantasy story, as has been my want since I first started to read...even before I started to draw in fact. I spent some of last year concepting out everything I wanted to put in, and the style I wanted to use. But mostly, I was engrossed in learning how to translate story ideas into finished pages.
The proposed project is a series of self contained books. I wrote quite a few drafts of stories that weren't quite right for the first book, but in the end (with the help my my editor David Chauvel) I found something that worked. It is currently in the contract wrangling phase at a French publisher.
So fingers crossed.
Here are some of the pitch materials:

Beautiful work my friend! I will keep an eye out for this book for sure! Awesome!!
Whoa! Rad stuff. Any chance of an english version?
These are intensely great, I love them and hope the best for your success!
Wow. That is all I can say is just, wow.
Post a link up to the publisher when it's released. I'd be sure wanting to get a copy!
Jesus christ....this just blew my mind. Thanks so much for this!
More posts like this good job man , when is the comic out?
Awesome man! I wish you much luck and success on this! Please send me a note when it's published. And get you're ass to SD Comic Con to promote it!
D
opps your ass not 'you are ass' need grammar check as much as spell check
close enough for rock and roll!
wowow, or as the french say incroyable! I'm loving it! Cant wait - any chance it'll come out in English? I'll by the french version anyway, but would be nice to get the full story...anyway, great work man!
What an inspiration. I can not wait to see these books. Beyond the fantastic art are the wonderful concepts and designs- you are creating a full-on Tim Mcburnie world here. Simply awesome.
I will be pushing pretty hard to make it happen but depends how the contract works for foreign markets etc.
I suspect it won't be sold on until the first book is finished and there is a reader response. So two years from now if all goes ahead (ugh...soooo long)
I am writing it in English first, so it's obviously something I want to do :)
I can edit it so I am less of an ass if you want :P
Cheers man! Close enough indeed!
No idea on publishing date for the French edition if it goes ahead. but sometime in 2010.
Amazing. I wish you all the best in the pursuit of your endeavor. I would be more than willing to buy that book if I saw it on the shelves - and I imagine a large number of people would do the same.
Keep us updated on what's goin on with it! Can't wait for it to come out!
Great work!
As always, your character designs look super fantastic and the backgrounds are really beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing how you also master sequential storytelling!
Unbelievable! Simply fantastic! I cannot wait to see published it and to read it...
Really loving your work. You have a great understanding of colour and composition. Love the energy in your drawings. two-thumbs-up!
So flippin epic, love the pages
This is beautiful. What's the latest news on this project? Best of luck!
