Chosen Ones 4
The comic is being posted more or less when ever there is a new page. And that’s likely to slow down for a month or two, as I now have some temp work taking up several hours every week day.
I’m doing the pencils freehand from reference, so I don’t like the results as much as other art that I have traced from Daz exports. So almost every page has a panel I’m happy with- maybe even proud of- and others that make me wince looking at them now they’re finished.
Chosen Ones and new directions
The Short Version- This is page 1 of Chosen Ones, my new comic. The elevator pitch goes- “What happened to Harry Potter next?”* A bunch of former teen heroes and heroines, bored now they’ve fulfilled their prophesied destinies, set out to have more adventures.
Pages will go up on the Patreon as they’re finished, then will be published on The Duck webcomics later.
The Long Version- I’ve not been as productive as I’d like so far this year. It’s time for a rethink. I think I’ll get more done by putting aside the projects that aren’t working out, and try some new things.
I still want to work on Didn’t Bleed Red, but I need to leave it for a while, and build a better outline. Then I’ll be able to attack it properly.
On the comics front, Uninvited Guests is not getting finished any time soon, and I did too many pages that I wasn’t happy with. So I’m taking it down from the webcomic host, and starting again with Chosen Ones. I’m drawing it on smaller pages, and in shorter episodes. As said above, Pages will go up on Patreon first, then I’ll work out a schedule for wider publication. Right now, I have six more pages pencilled, and I’ll be attacking them in the next week or two.
Hopefully, I’ll have more new stuff for you soon.
*Yes, I know what happened next was shown in the epilogue (I’ve only ever seen the films), but the cliche of the elevator pitch is that you have to relate you project to an existing successful franchise.
