A few brief updates. The concept art is starting to role in. Matias the artist for The Claw and Fang series is creating amazing beautiful work. We will be posting sample artwork soon so you can check it out. The artwork has me really amped. It’s a cool feeling to see characters I have imagined come to life after years of living in text form.

Things are moving quickly now. The first script is almost locked and the first book will be in production soon. I am just doing a few final script mods to tighten up the action and story flow. Comics are a new realm for me, and trying to figure out how many pages and panels per page is hard when you are used to a standard film script format, which runs one page per minute.

Also, in order to let the artist know how to draw the characters, all of their actions, physical features, clothing, emotions, moods and feelings need to be described. Everything needs to be described: environments, lighting, backgrounds, establishing shoots, FX, ambience and more. Details, details, details.

Hope you enjoy the concept art as much as I do!
