Notes from the Field: More Concepts

Here are some of the older concepts that I started when Scott first sent me the final script. I was so inspired by the words that I needed an outlet. Of course at that time he said nothing of me getting to do all the artwork for it.



Luckily for me he was old and weak and after birthing the script curled up, died and wanted nothing more to do with it. Three books into the five book epic and I'm starting to understand where he's coming from. Though at this stage of the game it's a big hump to get over. I mean I'm right smack in the middle.

How do I keep my energy up?


I guess the way I look at it is, the middle is just that the middle, and it should be easier after that. But I think Book Four will prove to be challenging as it's second to the last...kind of an obstacle to the end. Luckily I reread the script and realize how much of a challenge it's going to be to do.

Book Four is like nothing I've ever read. I hope I can make the visuals equally so.


I think there will be a bit of post-partem depression when all is said and done. I hope there's enough people who by the book to warrant a trade paperback to come out. I'd really like to include an additional set of pages of just development art from our earlier efforts throughout the years. And there's a a bunch of it...embarassingly so.

I read the first couple of issues, but it was hard to keep buying it on singles, (i was moving around and not every store had it). Is there a trade coming?
