  • Intrusion and Profusion

    The pervasive tendrils of real life have once again closed around me, so Massacre work has had to take a temporary back seat.

    There have been some exciting developments to report, though:

    - The script for Walking Wounded #3 is finally finished. I struggled with the final third, but got there in the end (more or less). Steve and I then had a minor artistic disagreement over the important issue of whether talking monkeys are allowed, but it was amicably resolved so it's now over to him to produce the artwork....

    - Bolt-01 sent over his pencils for the Crusader story he's illustrating for Massacre For Boys in Colour #1. Jolly fine they are too :) I won't post any clips here just yet, but please keep an eye on Bolt's own blog where lots of juicy Massacre titbits are wont to appear.

    - We've now got our own page on IndieReview.

    Normal service will be resumed shortly. Meanwhile Steve is beavering away on various other indie projects, some of which have been announced here and some of which have not. Hopefully I can persuade him to list everything he can talk about that he's doing in a future post...

  • From Page To Screen

    I sometimes think it's interesting to see how a comic script translates into a comic strip. I put this together as a quick example of how the words get turned into pictures:

    Crusader strip+script

    Now you see how little Steve has to work with I'm sure it gives you a new apprecation of his artistic talent :)

    Looking back I see one significant change we made after the script was done (check out panel 4). I pretty much plan to re-use this idea in a more conventionally-formated and much longer Crusader strip, and I will be having our hero go after the drugs rather than the money this time. He'll have a really good reason, I promise you...
