Landed on the Homeworld

Good news everyone! my typing ability has scored me a new gig, I'm now a writer for The Home World which is a pretty big score for me seen as I have never really written anything other than fiction or papers for school/college/university

Just thought I would share my excitement and sheer terror with you all. There is a link at the top of the post to the website and one here that is directly to my post. I hope you all dig it, I hope you dig the site and become regulars, please feel free to comment on posts 'cause lets face it who doesn't enjoy a good bit of banter with other geeks via the internet?

Issue two hits the stands!!! or rather hits the blog!!!

Well it's finally done, Just finished Gaslamp issue #2

I always planned this to be a short story (two parts) I wanted to kick off the series quickly and I think it's not only bolted out of the gates but exploded!

hope you all dig it, I wish I had more time to do this but unfortunately my need to play bills is greater than doing something I love so here's hoping you see issue #3 before the end of the world in 2010!

Gaslamp #2

Immortal Weapons & Wounds

I had a bit on an Iron Fist itch today so I thought that I would put pen to paper (well finger to key) and see what came out.

It's a subdued, subtle Iron Fist story which I didn't expect to write I thought my need for some Danny Rand would lead to a kung fu epic so coming up with a character piece was a nice and rewarding change.

sure I will do a kick ass Iron fist tale at some point though

Enjoy!

One Page Comic: Iron Fist

Gaslamp: Issue #1

Just finished working on issue #1 of my new project one of my new projects. It's an adventure book featuring the Gaslamp brothers Erique and Gerome who run the Gaslamp creature & Apparition eradication service, essentially they are monster hunters who travel the globe fighting not only the things that go bump in the night but also the ones who go bump in the light as well.

My aim is to make it a fun, exciting adventure though a new old world, the comic is set during the industrial revolution but viewed though the goggles of steam punk. There will be more info later but for now I will leave you with issue one.

Enjoy...

Gaslamp Issue #1

Working those cogs!

Wow... been a while since I posted here. hasn't been a One Page Comic for a while, naughty me! I have been working however. I've had a couple of new ideas this past week and by new ideas I mean new projects not just ideas for Honor Bound.

Feels pretty good, having ideas flowing again. I've never been what you would call prolific when it comes to being the ideas man, I'me usually the guy who sits worrying about one concept he had a year ago while everyone around him has been churning something new out each month/week/day...

Don't want to go into too much detail at the minute as to what I've got cooking because there isn't really anything to show at the minute but one is a quasi-autobiographical piece and the other is an adventure with monsters!

Oh before I forget there is a treatment up from ALMTalkies for the Girl in the Red Dress music video that I contributed too. you can hit it up here more details as soon as there is some!

Mein Gott! Nightcrawler page!

Was given Nightcrawler this week, to be honest I was and still am a little aprehenssive about working on characters I have and affinity for but Nightcrawler is what I was given so I thought "Have at 'em"

here we go, Nightcrawler!

Oh I must put out there I guess this is in current continuity so for those of you who know... you'll get it, everyone else... not so much

One Page Comic Nightcrawler

Re-work

I spent last night re-formatting issue one of the comic, adding panels and cutting where needed. Issue one turned out to be a bit of a beast! seems I got a little carried away with it.

Spent at least four hours today re-formatting issues two and three and It would seem I hadn't done enough for those so have had to add and re-do some parts.

here is the result of my evening. I'm pretty amazed by this because I was in an awful mood and listening to music I shouldn't listen to when I'm in a funk so that fact that I got this done is amazing really!

Honor Bound Issue #1 the Power Inside Us

The Hood

Week two of my ongoing writing exercise. This weeks one page comic features the Marvel comics villain The Hood! If you don't know who he is you can read up on him here there is also a speaking part for long time Spidey villain The Shocker too! Just some of the crazy fun I have sat behind my computer!

One Page Comic The Hood

6! its the hellish number!

i finished issue 6 of the comic today... took some doing, I re-wrote it (before I had finished it which is something I never do!) a couple of times because I didn't like where it was going.

It is now completed however and about damn time cause I haven't worked on it for a few days... fell pretty bad about that. Gonna let it sit for a while then move on to 7.

Want to have two full stories before I start looking for artists

Catwoman: Fanimation second draft

I added some things to the previous version, picked up a few misspellings and grammatical Frak ups and hopefully changed it for the better... I feel inspired after Listening to the latest Bendis Tapes from everyones favourite podcaster John Siuntres

Catwoman #3.2 Catwoman Animated Second Draft

Catwoman: Fanimation

Okay here we are again. Had another go at writing for the animated short planned as part of the Catwoman Summer Project

This one is completely different from the last the only thing that remains is that Catwoman gets shot by Deadshot and that's about it. I was a little disappointed not to get to use Dick as Batman but hey ho you gotta keep going, and I did!

As always feedback is welcomed and appreciated (as long as its constructive)

Enjoy!

Catwoman #3.1 Catwoman Animated

The Power Inside Us!

I thought I should have something up here about the comic, Its been all Catwoman and her summer of love over at Amber's facebook page recently I haven't posted anything other than the odd tweet about the comic. I just want to state that the comic is coming along fine and it was finished (in my quickest turn around to date) if you ignore the couple of days I spent working on Catwoman stuff it only took me may three days to write issue 4 which for me is pretty amazing!

Issue 4 is the end of the first arc and I plan on introducing more characters in the second story. some of whom were teased in issues 2 and 4.

Just wanted to get some news out there about the comic and remind everyone that I don't want to be a till slave my whole life.

I Heart Comics! (I wonder if I can get a banner from Dark horse now?)

Catwoman: The Animated Series

Well maybe not but it is for a "fan-imation" (if that isn't already a word I'm calling dibs on it and you all owe me money when it becomes a real thing) being planned over on Facebook.

So here we are, my whack at an animated short based on the original treatment by Martin Lafrance

Catwoman #3 Catwoman Animated

Catwoman #2.3

Here it is, my latest attempt at Catwoman #2

I don't think I have anymore to give at this point.

Catwoman #2.3 Cat & the Lioness

Catwoman: Cat & the Lioness 2.2

I attempted a rewrite for the winning script for catwoman #2 and decided to re-work it. This is my re-write

Second short announced.

Yesterday Amber announced the second script to be turned into a short, for those of you who have been following this is all part of her summer project for those of you who haven't there is a link here

What follows is my version of the chosen story. Hope ya'll dig it. 

Catwoman #2 Cat & the Lioness

Catwoman #2.2

Catwoman #2- Past Lives

Return to Gotham

Another week another script full of Catwoman shinanigans! I've been over this before but check out Amber's facebook group for more details, join in the Summer, shiny fun!

So here follows my script for the second (yes you read that right second!) fan film short Amber plans to shoot as part of her Summer project. Hope you all like it, leave a comment if you do (or don't) so here we are Catwoman #2: Trophies

Catwoman #2- Trophies

The Cat is back!

To celebrate the continuation of Amber Moelter's Catwoman Summer Project
 I have gone back to my original submission for a short and had some fun with it. I have Gone back over it and converted it into a comic book script.


I started out with a silent one page script as the project guide lines stated. Then wrote what I consider to be a normal script based on the silent one page. THEN re-worked that and added in panels and suggestions of shots for an artist to use. It was fun but weird. I was taught not to add shots, only to write what you see so this was a challenge ... but one I enjoyed doing none the less. I did like seeing this grow in pages from one to six in a day. 

Catwoman #1 the Hunt Comic

Hope you guys like it. I had a lot of fun writing it. If anyone can think of a character they'd like me to have a whack at I'd be more than happy to cause I need the practice if I'm honest. you can leave a comment here or send me a message at my Twitter or Facebook Pages. I've also opened up a Tumblr account so I can post all the random crap that falls out of my brain and leave this for my writing.

Until next time true believers!

Insane bolt!

I know the last couple of posts were all about scripts but ... that's kinda the point genius! But it has gotten me thinking. Writing for something else has been a lot of fun! Its nice to think about an already established world for a change instead of obsessing over one you are inventing as you type so I got to thinking...

what if I did it more often? y'know just for fun? I could use it as a kind of exercise, Do a script that's say... a page long, two at the most and use that to help hone my skills? I know there is a certain stigma that comes with fan fiction but it might just work out?

Lemme know what you think!
