[edit: I changed the colour of the boxes. I think it was a quirk too far!]

Some of you might remember I already started this a few months ago. ([link]) Well, I wasn't happy with it ...

This is a project I've had going for sometime. Whilst I am quite partial to the pencil look, it suddenly dawned on me that some effects I want to achieve just aren't/won't be possible in black and white, and without a sense of atmosphere that is really hard to capture in graphite.

So I had to restart it - a bit of a shame, but at least it's a realisation i've made quite early on!

This approach will take a LOT longer to make the finished pages but it will hopefully be worth it. I love sponteneity but the goal here is to make something that is done to my very best ability - really put my skills on the line so that I won't want to revisit it. Also, with me now doing it in digital, I will be developing in that area which I really need to do.

I hope you guys get a kick out of the story as it goes along. It remains to be seen just what will happen next, but keep an eye out for more stuff! =)

For more info on the project, check out its gallery:

Thanks for looking!

All comments welcome and appreciated, thanks!

Well its not available to buy (yet!). My main aim at the moment is to make something as good as I possibly can, then hopefully someone will want to pick it up!

Thanks for the support =D!

Hi - and thanks! =)

I certainly am creating it in order for it to be published - but there's nothing in place right now. I'm kinda figuring i'd have to do a lot more pages before I got any interest in that side of it at all! But we'll see =) Right now it's kinda part time so ... if it did get comissioned, obviously i'd be able to do a lot more work on it, and heaven forbid maybe even get paid for it - which would be crazy!

But thats a pipe-dream at the moment - right now i'm just trying my hardest to make it as good as i can!

Thanks again! and good luck yourself =)

beautiful and very atmospheric!
i agree with supersonicsound though, i find the text boxes distracting. it really takes the reader out of that beautiful, greyish setting.
