Update #4: Comic Pages

Posted on May 14, 2010

These are some old comic pages I worked up for the story "Riddle in Red" written by Alana Abbott. The pages were never completed, but it was a great experiment in style, playing with photos, and overall "feel" of what can be done. I hope to use a similar style in the 8 page short story I will be doing for the anthology. . . if you back our project and we succeed.

And as always, please help back this project and get the cool gifts, I especially want to draw someone in the comic! And spread the word! I know you have someone that would love to see this!

Update #2: Concept Design previews for the Races of SM

Posted on May 6, 2010

Here are a couple of concepts for the new Steampunk Musha Races. For those familiar with the older edition and setting, it might be a shock at some of the changes. For those new to Steampunk Musha, I hope this excites you enough to want to back this project. Enjoy.
