I Has a Secret Project- Revealed!
Matthew Blake | 7:14 PM on 05.30.2008 13 comments




Sorry it's taken me a while to get this together- there were a few complications, but nothing too interesting to talk about. Instead, feast your eyes on this:



Yes, my project... is a comic. Like I mentioned in my intro post, I love graphic novels and illustrate my own comics- this here is my latest one, and Destructoid will be the first to check it out. As you might have guessed from the text, the story (let's call it "The Island" for now) will be a fairytale, although it'll be a bit more fractured than it may appear.

More pages for The Island will be added when they are completed- the script and layouts have already been completed, so just trust me- I know where I'm going with this. Of course, feedback is greatly appreciated- this project in particular has presented a ton of challenges for me, which I'll describe in detail later on. Until then... hope you enjoy your stay on The Island!

EDIT: Full title has been revealed, as was the official logo. Pretty!

EDIT2: Next Page

So far so good.

Always wanted to do comics when I was younger...well still do...just the artistic talent isn't quite there for me.

I like it so far, especially the style. Can't wait to see where it goes.

I'm going to pretend I didn't see the teaser cblog before this and assume those are nubile, bikini-clad hotties playing beach volleyball.

Awesome failure. I swear I only clicked once.

Guess we'll just blame it on the tornadoes and shitty weather outside.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Be sure to check out the other pages as they're uploaded; the blog posts will be titled "The Island- Page x". I've had the actual idea for a while, and a few months back decided to make a full-blown comic out of it. That led to the first draft or two of the text script, with the layouts soon after. Projects like GRiND. and Jabberwocky have made me a lot more familiar with Manga Studio and the business of making comics in general, so I'm gonna be pulling out all the stops for this one. I'm super excited to see the results, and hope you will be too. Just make sure to inform fellow Dtoiders- the more the merrier, right? Reaprar, I know you're already ahead of the game; many thanks.
