Skal - An online fantasy graphic novel.

[C Of K]

I really liked your stuff. When I come across fiction that is so naturally put together, it's difficult to spot anything wrong with it. I was enjoying it too much, I'm afraid. Of course there will forever be ways to improve on what you have, and I think given time, you will develop your style to do so. I'm not the person to give suggestions, though, because my advice would just as likely cramp your style as help it. So, I just wanted to say I hope you continue with this.

I have to admit I look forward to the new postings every week. I enjoy the "tune in next week" anticipation. Thought I'd give this thread a bump in case others haven't had the oppurtunity to see your work. Keep up the excellent work.

Hi!

Wow, thanks for all the compliments!
A lot has happened these past few months. I'll ramble on about it on the general art thread (If I can dig it up), but in terms of Skal, long long long story short, I've decided to redo it for print.

This means I get to take my time a bit with the pages and I can edit out some of the less.. err.. good bits. Skal has been me trying to experiment with storytelling, and lets just say I think my art is a bit stronger than my storytelling is

But yes! So lemme show ya what this remake is about:

Here's page one and two of the original prologue:

And here's the remake (not completely finished and without lettering):

There's a lot to do, but I think this project has become my baby, so I'm gonna take my time with it Woop!

Well hello stranger! I like the new "fly on the ceiling" view. Have you got a publisher lined up as well?

Hellooo!
How you doin'!?

I haven't got a publisher lined up, no. I'm wanting to get at least a chapter under my belt before I think about it. Only reason being that I've chatted with publishers before and they're very wary of graphic novels done just for print. There's a limited market for it and everyone's going digital these days. Apparently that's where the money's at.

Sooo, my main plan has just been to self-publish once it's done. I'm a bit of a controlfreak anyway and want to know exactly what the printers would do ;D

Good thank you, and you seem to be the same!

I wish you the best of luck with your project, I can well imagine it being a tough road!
