New Art, New Chapter

Wed Jul 13, 2011, 8:10 AM
New Art, New Chapter


Just a reminder, I'm not taking anymore personal shopper orders until October. I am unbelievably busy at the moment!

I've been posting some new pictures for the FaLLEN art book that comes out next month, and working on new profiles that will include a power chart for each character, as well as Japanese and English for their bios. I will probably take pre-orders at the beginning of August once I have a better idea of how much it will cost. It's looking at costing around $15 for 36-44 pages (still haven't chosen a page number yet), and I think it will be A5 sized, which is a little small for an art book but keeps the prices down.

I've put Suicide Consultant on hold, but the FaLLEN comic will probably still be on schedule. I plan to start that in September, and I'll be posting pages as I do them rather than wait until I've finished the whole thing. I will be posting the first graphic novel online for free because I am confident if you read it you will want to keep reading. Plus, the first graphic novel will contain a side story at the end that will NOT get posted online. The other books will only get samples posted online.

This morning I posted ch. 9 to the second FaLLEN novel, which you can read here: [link]
For those of you not aware, the first novel is completed and up for free reading, whereas the second book is about a third of the way finished. There are a total of three arcs, aka three books in the series.

Working on prize art still. I'm still not used to the style I use for the art, so it takes me FOREVER to get anything done.

So FaLLEN the comic will be a webcomic, sort of? :D Sweet! And ooh, power chart -- and new profiles :la:

So how much will the artbooks cost after the pre-orders? Usually --from what I've seen webcomics do-- books cost a little more post-preorders. Sometimes it's more shipping, other times it's the book itself. Just asking since pre-orders are $15 :D I'm assuming contributors won't have a free copy, yes?

Only the first volume, yeah. I think I'm going to wait and do kickstarter for that instead of for the illustrations book, because once my contract at the office expires in early October I would like to be able to spend all of my time on the comic, and I think making it a webcomic would help in that effort.

Do you know what those hexagonal power charts are called? They use them all the time in Japan. I've got "offense, defense, intelligence, stamina, and agility" but I'm trying to figure out if there is something else I need. Otherwise it's going to be a pentagon. I did the stats for everyone last night... maybe I could add loyalty? I don't know. Meh, pentagon is good too.

Unfortunately contributors won't have a free copy, but I made sure everyone knew that when I noted the artists. And pre-order costs and regular orders won't change. Pre-orders will get a free sticker sheet, though :D

Sounds like a good plan :)

I've never known what they were called ^^; But I have seen them in Japanese books with characters and such, and I've never been able to understand them -- only because the stats for the characters sometimes made no sense :XD: As far as I know, there's only 5 points in those charts and it's the five you mentioned, save loyalty. Loyalty would be an interesting point to see, though. :confused: O:

I remember you mentioning it, but I still wanted to make sure :D Yay, free sticker sheet! Can't wait to see :3

Well in the story some characters are definitely more loyal to Maya than others. Like, Maris would get high loyalty points and Kali would get very low points. Something like that. I might go ahead and add that, but... I like the stats I have now. They are surprisingly realistic, haha.

The new chapter is fantastic! I am in love with everything about FaLLEN. Between the characters and the underlying issues of freewill and spiritual slavery, I can't pick a favorite. Oh yes, and song titles as chapters is always a good idea. I need to start listening to said songs while reading the chapters though.

Oh yay!! I wasn't sure you were still reading, since you seem busy and distant from LJ and such. I'm glad you like the new chapter and characters :D Some songs really do reflect the chapters, or a part of the chapter, but sometimes I just like the titles :p

Well, I'm doing my best not to let that happen. It happened to me right after college and for like a year I didn't do anything >_<.....
