As I said in the introductions thread, I'm an aspiring comics writer. It took me a long time to get going, but reading Warren's work and columns really inspired me to throw myself into it. I took a class at comicsexperience.com to learn how to write scripts, and I just went at it. The result of the class is a 5 page story that I'm currently getting drawn. It's a real learning experience.

I found my artist, Jason Baroody, on the ten ton studios forums, he's been really great to work with. I'm looking for a letterer and colorist now, and planning my next moves.

I have an idea for a longer story arc with the same characters, so this 5-pager has a bit of a set-up feel to it, but I feel that its a complete story on its own. Anyway, I'm not posting the script, cause I understand that's against the rules, but here's the first two inked pages (that's ok to post, right? If not, I will take them down).

Briefly, it's kind of an updated sword and sorcery style story - I like to think of it as Lankhmar with guns. Hope you all like it, and if people are interested, I will post updates as the project moves further along.




comments and criticism is welcome, and I'm happy to answer questions. Thanks for taking the time to look.

(Though I guess I could be wrong.) Because now I want to know what you do, and not just what you've guided the (obviously quite talented) artist to do.
That is, if you were comfortable posting your script or whatnot somewhere for our prying eyes to find.
Nice job so far. Hard to have questions for you, though, when there's so little to know about the product. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9910&Focus=296675#Comment_296675 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9910&Focus=296675#Comment_296675 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 23:27:09 -0700 rdouek
I'm a little leery of posting the script... basically for the same reasons its against the rules to post them here. I'll think about it though.

I do have a letterer lined up, and should have more complete pages by next week – which I'll post here, if you don't mind bearing with me. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9910&Focus=296729#Comment_296729 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9910&Focus=296729#Comment_296729 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 09:04:07 -0700 meaninglessnoise Posting fiction, as it says in the rules, creates a legal minefield for those professionals who frequent this site—but I believe there's no rule against providing a website and allowing us the freedom to visit it voluntarily.

Or just let us know when it's colored and finished, and I'm sure we can seek it out.

Still getting the site together, desigining logos, etc. but once I have it, I'll throw the script up.

So like, probably next week or so. thanks for the interest! ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9910&Focus=297206#Comment_297206 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9910&Focus=297206#Comment_297206 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:20:34 -0700 rdouek

Got a nice mention here, alongside Brandon Seifert and some other comics experience alumni. I mean, its the comics experience blog, so its not a huge surprise that it's nice... but it still feels good :) ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9910&Focus=303601#Comment_303601 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9910&Focus=303601#Comment_303601 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 12:28:18 -0700 rdouek New Gutter Magic preview panels by JC Grande!

I wrote a short article about creating Gutter Magic - mostly its about how I went from dreaming about writing comics to actually writing them - hopefully some might find it interesting:

Sorry to keep posting here with no replies, but I do get some hits every time I do, so I guess some of you are interested :)

I have a new 5-page story up at my site, check it out here: sixguncomics.com

Just to break the silence: I like your ideas, I like the art.
But I haven't an immediate thought that I would consider utter worthy and/or of use to you.
Looking forward reading more of your story. :) ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9910&Focus=309724#Comment_309724 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9910&Focus=309724#Comment_309724 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 09:03:54 -0700 rdouek
