\nFeast your eyes on my first promo shot for THE UNKNOWNS my graphic novel project launching next year. \u00a0I wanted to color it (which I may still do) but in the end I wanted to show my black and white line work as this book will be presented in glorious black and white.<\/p>\n

On the production side I figured I would share with you all how I have approached this book. \u00a0One of the things I just struggled over and over with while working on my book Kevin and the Light of Destiny was not having a script locked and in place. \u00a0Well, with this book, and no web deadlines, I took the time to write the whole script. \u00a0That script took me aprox 8 drafts to get\u00a0altogether\u00a0and maybe four months of work if you put in my previous writing time before coming back to it.<\/p>\n

What this afforded me was to look at the story from a macro level and see if its working or not. \u00a0With confidence that my script was solid, I went in to break downs on the script. \u00a0Breakdowns for me, are going through my script, which is written screenplay format, and break it into panels and pages. \u00a0I figure out my pacing here and make sure the script makes sense as a comic. \u00a0Here’s a shot of what my page looks like. \u00a0I highlight each new page so I can keep the page\u00a0separation\u00a0and panel\u00a0separation\u00a0clear in my head as I work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFrom here I will be seperating those breakdowns into pencils\/thumbnails. \u00a0I will share more with that next time. \u00a0Let me know what you think of the PINUP!<\/p>\n
