Here we go starting in on episode 5 already!

The question now is, what's Vero doing out in that asteroid belt around Gabbot's Claim? Oh yeah, and wasn't Solvan Mar, head of Core Sys Corp, trying to have people track him down and kill him?

Finished the script for the episode today. The best line I managed for this episode might be "Now let's cut you open and see what's inside." Wait, my crude side also kind of liked "Get lost before I give you a gigawatt the hard way."

Can you tell that episode 5 is going to have a lot of action? In fact I'm getting a little worried about drawing all of it now that I think of it, but hey, one frame at a time, right? ;D But first, the storyboards, which I'll start tomorrow.

I do believe its time I made another Mar Rant video.

:o

Got about 90 storyboards done today--only 50 left!--and found as usual that drawing that many pictures in a single day leaves me pretty brain-fried! Of course they're super-sketchy but as long as they capture the layout I want, and I can figure out what the heck they mean when I'm going through them for drawing the final art, then it's mission accomplished. So they aren't done for looks, and I hesitate to show them to the public, but ah, what the hell, most of you have seen plenty of rough behind-the-scenes stuff from me already. ;) So here are some boards from the first 2/3rds of episode 5:







PS: No, that is not Space Spider-Man!

Finished the storyboards for episode 5; as they stand now, I think doing all the frame-by-frame action shots they call for will be the death of me, but we shall see!

If you squint real hard you can almost see people in a few of these:

Core Sys Corp FTW!

Mar rant's almost done, too. I got sidetracked by real life and robots and whatnot.

A* goes daily! There are already ten episode 5 comic "dailies" up, starting with:



ZOMG spoilers! :P

You can start reading through them right here, or just start off on the front page of the site, which will always show the latest one, with a handy drop-down list and arrow links to jump back in time to wherever you'd like to start from.

Episodes 1-4 have also been added in daily comic form, and you can get to them through the same handy "dailies" browsing UI, or from their animated episode page, or from the "episode list" page.

I hope you'll enjoy the dailies, and I'm looking forward to being able to talk about the progressing story as I'm drawing it, instead of having to stay mum for a whole month between animated episodes--which I'm still going to produce, of course!

You'll notice that Vero's friend Sal is the star of episode 5 so far, but who's this mysterious "pirate" (ARRR) accosting him out in interstellar space?

it's Veil!!!!!
:)

everybody check own plug!! :):)

Veil? Psssh!

Totally different character. <_<>_>

And speaking of plugs...

Arrakis! Heart plugs! The Spice!
