Update #3: Prelim. Sketches
Here some sketches of characters coming down the pike. They were already up at the blog site but I decided to put them up here too. Great design sense Aaron has. Be sure to visit him at his own blog and at Periscope Studios.
Update #2: Story Details
The first 2 stories are set. Here are the details.
"Singular Pursuit" (2-part story, 8 pages each)
The Kuroi Hiryū gang brutally attack a stagecoach along the Southwest Passage. They encounter resistance from a man only known as the Mentor. But what can one frail, old man with a sword do against six vicious riders armed with swords and shotguns?
The Kuroi Hiryū gang is based off the modern day Bōsōzoku, which translates into "running violent tribe." They're a subculture in Japanese motorcycle gangs.
"Self-Reflection" (12 page short story)
The ronin known as the Avenger stops at a Goze musician's camp for the night while on his way to kill a prominent governor. Speaking with her, he examines his motives for the actions he's committed and about to commit. She turns out to be an assassin sent to stop him, an assassin who can perfectly mirror his passionate actions with icy calm.
I'm still tightening them up, but they're coming off great. If these two stories sound good, please don't forget to donate. Only through donations can they be completed. Just go to the Kickstarter.com link on this blog's home page.
Update #1: Rough Colors are in, and they fantastic.
Here's some of the color drafts for some of the characters, specifically the Scarecrow & Archie, the Mentor, and the Student. Great work Aaron.
