The Unnaturals

It's done. I finished the 2nd script of THE UNNATURALS

I wasn't sure whether to post this or not, but in the end I figured I could take a moment in this site to declare another stage of the The Unnaturals project is done. The second version of THE UNNATURALS is done, and I just mailed it to the producer. He liked the first one well-enough, except for a particular plot element that unfortunately was at the core of mechanics. This new version has a different protagonist: now its PECENO, instead of JT, different mechanics too, and a simpler story, that is nevertheless action packed, and, well, if I may say so, very emotionally charged. I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm tired, proud, happy, exhausted, hopeful, burned out, accomplished, deflated, excited, de-sensitized, etc etc.

I think I'll just take it easy till January 1st, and then, Captain Peceno, my writing services are all yours for one week, I'll write whatever you tell me to.

Oh, the picture is a quick schematic I did of the WitchHammer headquarters... its needed to better understand the ending of the story. I hope its clear enough, please tell me if anything seems confusing.

That's it... I'm back in the realm of the living, for now.

Happy holidays everyone, and may all of you meet all your new-year goals next year.

SKAVENGER: The Comic

FableForge — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 20:51:31 +0000

Hey guys, I figured I'd share the first page of the first issue of Skavenger, another comic book I wrote. The artist is a guy named Adam Isailovic, he's in Serbia. He draws AMAZING. The guy is very professional too, I'm positive we're gonna place this comic with a major house.

Anyway, what you see below is the three stages of our work process: first I write the script, then he draws and colors, then I go to town with textures and text.

It worked for The Unnaturals too, see here:

Fake teaser for The Unnaturals

We didn't really shoot cities exploding, this is just a clever (we hope!) attempt to capture the -feel- of a movie that still doesn't exist in the realm of reality, but is fully formed in our minds. It's not official of course, just a little teaser we hope you'll enjoy :)

For more info, see my post about The Unnaturals.

This way to Necrotopia

Hey guys.

I want you to see what we've been working at for the past... oh, I dunno, how many months has it been, EZ? At least 6. A lot. A long time.

It takes a while to find a place in the vast fog of imagination, stick your hand in it, fish for and grab stuff, compact it into a little ball and yank it back out into our realm of reality. So far, we've yanked a website, a 16-page full color comic book, two teaser videos, nine character bios, a little brochure describing the world (a "feelie" in the purest Alan Moore style), a 96-page graphic novel script, a wiki-style framework for keeping my shit straight when I write in the future, forums, and... I'm probably forgetting stuff.

But I'm very proud to show this to you guys. Everything I described above is here, except for the 96-page script, and one of the two videos (I may post it later here in KC). Please give it a whirl, and let me know if anything seems broken:

Thanks so much for beta-testing this, guys, I understand our producer is showing this to some pretty high-up people right about now, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Robert Lawrence is a GOOD producer to have, people.

I want to give a huge thank you to Hector, who made the beautiful artwork you're about to see. He has been my best friend since childhood... I'm lucky to be able to say that, specially to be able to say that about him. He and I are going to do a lot of stuff together in the future, Xenu-willing.

And of course, thanks to Ezequiel. He opened the door for me, all I had to do was be serious about my ambition, and I am, and he opened the door. EZ, this would have never gotten this far without you man. I also hope to be doing a lot of stuff with you in the future, Xenu or not.

Alright. Have fun everybody, hope you like this.
