So I figure I would let the cat out of the bag a bit because it might be helpful for others to know. \u00a0I sent a pitch out for The\u00a0Unknowns\u00a0about a month ago and to my great pleasure, the agent I contacted liked the book! \u00a0But there’s more work to do. \u00a0One of the requests I was given was to produce some more completed color pages for our pitch and that meant doing a lot of work very quickly (my self imposed deadlines). \u00a0So I have been busy for the past two weeks with flatting comics pages, with the help of my friends Andy Gaskin and Nick Perkins. \u00a0I have about 24 pages that need to be color flatted and then colored. \u00a0Things are moving swiftly. \u00a0I also decided to add in an additional 8 pages of completed art from the original pitch to round out the characters and give some more context to them. For these pages I decided I would try again to go back to…. digital inking!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I decided to go ahead and update my Manga Studio software to the EX version almost entirely because of the perspective tool. \u00a0There is a lot of perspective in this sequence and the help from it is much appreciated. \u00a0It’s been a bit tricky getting the new inked pages to look like the older ones but I think they are holding up OK. I would really love a Cintiq for this though, but so far so good!<\/p>\n

So that’s the update. \u00a0Lots going on and the book is moving along. \u00a0I can’t wait to share more of this with you and see where things go!<\/p>\n
