Storyboards

I’ve got a small gig working on a music video that’s part of the whole “Cultural Capital of Europe” thing going on in Finland throughout the year.  So all of my time has been sucked up lately doing storyboards and going over the project with the creators. I’ll also be shooting it, editing it and doing the VFX in post-production, so my time will be tight the next couple of weeks.  We plan on shooting Monday and Tuesday, so after that I hope I’ll have a bit of a breather to catch up on emails and do some updates on the comics before I dive into post-production.

Over the last week I’ve done the equivalent of about 4 standard sized comic books! Mind you, the quality isn’t even close to what I do on Heroes,inc. since storyboards just need to help figure out angles and storylines (especially on this tight of a schedule), but still…

Actually for a small gig, there’s quite a lot of work that needs to be done, but the people are a fun bunch to work with and with all this drawing it’ll be great to have a chance to brush the rust off of my other skills, so I’m not complaining. ;-)

Update’s late Again.

I’ve been running in circles doing this, doing that and to make a long story short… late update!

When will it be up? I honestly can’t say.  I hope to have it up this week and be back on schedule.

I know most of you have already seen this, but the Captain America Movie is starting to look pretty darn good!

What I’ve Been Up To…

As some of you probably know, submitting to Marvel is an invitation only deal, since they shut down the old “slush pile”.  Well, some time ago (last year actually) I got a chance from C.B. Cebulski to submit some samples to them.  Needless to say, since I’m still sitting here, I didn’t get picked up.  Looking through those Wolverine samples, I can’t say I blame them one bit.  I don’t know what went wrong, did I freak out and just lose my skills or what, but they were pretty ugly. Ugly enough that I won’t be showing them here. :-?

The editor I was in contact with gave me some critique and some pointers and asked that I re-submit later in the year.  So at the beginning of March I sent them some more:

 

The editor I was in contact with has moved up the food chain and no longer does submissions, but said I still need to work on my backgrounds etc. and gave me the contact info for the editor who will be taking care of submissions from now on.  So as of now my big Marvel break hasn’t happened, but I’m hoping it’s only a matter of time.

Meanwhile I’ve kept submitting Heroes, inc. to various publishers. Unfortunately no bites yet.  In desperation I even submitted to  215ink and believe it or not they had the gall to say that the Heroes,inc. art was so poor that they couldn’t put something like that out! 8-O

I have no problems taking critique from professionals who know what there talking about and if the 215ink guys simply had some minor issues that they weren’t happy with I could understand, but saying that the art wasn’t good enough for them to put out there! :-D :-D

I guess that’s why they aren’t even in the top 20 of publishers. Sheesh!

Anyhoo…

If nothing else Heroes,inc. will be here as a webcomic. I’ll naturally be re-submitting to Marvel again soon and who knows, maybe my luck will come through.

New Bonus Story Category!!

by Crusader on March 12, 2011 at 8:37 pm
Posted In: Uncategorized

I’ve added a new category up on top to make the Bonus Story access easier.

In an attempt to get people to vote for Heroes,inc.  more at TopWebcomics (If all of my readers voted JUST ONCE I’d be in the top 20 every month!! So you understand my frustration…) I’ve come up with a Bonus Story scheme. Each week there’s a extra black and white Golden Age short story going on, but if you want to read it you have to vote. These updates will be up for that week ONLY. The following update replaces them. Eventually the whole thing will be published as Heroes, inc. Golden Age (or something ;-) )

Now before people get up in arms just let me point out that I make NO obligation to BUY the Heroes,inc. books and I don’t run Donation Campaigns (believe me I’ve been close) so to keep my site payments and motivation up, I rely on ads on my site.  In order to keep those ads worth something I need to keep the traffic going.  We’ve noticed that, believe it or not, being on the first page of TopWebcomics actually brings in a fare amount of readers.

I understand that some people might not like the fact that they have to jump in the story half way, so I’ll be keeping a short synopsis of each Bonus Story on this page. That way you can jump on board at any time.

So… Please VOTE and enjoy the Bonus Story!
