More to come, just focusing on getting the new project rolling, thankfully all of this will all tie together (after a fashion), I will continue my work on this project later. I certainly dont mind if anyone wants to put some entries into the story here. I think the frame work is underway.

The first pilot version of my comic universe called "Titan Rising" was released this spring. I loved working on it but it took way too damn long to produce at almost 4 months for a 30 page comic. So I am cutting the scale dramatically have a lot of new software to work with and am picking up the story about 60 years earlier for the new project to fill in a better back story. I was not entirely satisified with the original comic book as I did not have gimp image software at the time and had to do my finishing in ms paint and ms-photo editor. I also was not familiar with using PNG files so I saved all my work in jpeg and it became very distorted when I resized it for formating into the comic frames. Over-all the first attempt was fun and a learning experience but I almost hung it up when the labor, about 5 hours a day for four months, resulted in often blurry images that looked nothing like the high resolution renders I originally created. In the new project I also wanted to tweek a few technical issues in the story and rework afew of the plot devices which I can do in the new project. If anyone would like a copy of the original pilot comic just drop me a line with your email address and I will send you a copy via email. I think the original project was just a little too ambitious for my first attempt and while some of the work I did on it was sooooo cool some of it fell flat too.

Would that be an anchor line, a pick-up line, a bowling line or a line of cocaine? :D
