SGG 1....Part 2 Finishing Starts Next Week

 



All of the 24pp lettered pages for Special Globe Guard 1 have now been cleaned, resized and are in a core file waiting for me to finish the rest of the pages.

I now have a portable A3 scanner which takes up no space but should allow me to go back to A3 original pages.  I will let you know if the scanner is any good.

Black Lantern. Black Forest. Black Death


 

I have the story..drawing it......

 


 At 0130hrs (UK) I was bored so put together the Schwarze Laterne promo. As I watched someone yack on about action figure conversion on You Tube at 0330hrs the entire story of the Black Forest death ran through my head. So I have the story just need to draw it.

Poor, Ulrich.

SGG -24pp lettered

 


 I started at 12 noon and it is 2130 hrs and I have just finished lettering 24pp of the Special Globe Guard 1. Tomorrow I will tidy up the pages and resize and put into a core file. Then I need to complete the art for the rest of the book.

Then, when finished, I can start on Black Tower Super Heroes  3: Chronal War

"Combined Universe" -it's a thing

 


 There is a way that I can get through a lot of long term projects that I am obviously never going to complete in full length as I intended.

The Combined Universe. Yes, everything published by Black Tower IS in the same "comic universe" and in the past D-Gruppe has visited UK heroes for a barbeque (The Trial) and heroes have popped up in stories featuring Western heroes.

Basically, in future books will feature long term failed projects stories such as the "lost in space" D-Gruppe members returning to Earth just as The Prof or Xendragon face the latest supernatural threat or the Avenger  faces a new problem. It's "pick n mix"!

It also means I should keep future books to Comic Album format and concentrate on those rather than do a Prof book or a separate D-Gruppe book.

The planned Special Globe Guard albums are all scanned and just need lettering for 3 out of the four and art finished up for issue 1.

Proof Copy Ordered


 The file for BTSH The Ultimate Game has now been uploaded so once I have a proof copy to check I will post up all the details.

Finally bit the bullet: Ultimate Game Cover Done!

  I started this at 1100hrs this morning and had various cover designs worked out but one thing after another led to them being thrown away.

Here are the three cover designs I went with..


This one (above)  I did not like "The Ultimate Game" font. Really not happy with it.



The above has a bold and brassy font BUT it just did not seem  right -I tried 40 different fonts with cover 1 and this one. Almost gave up.

The cover below will be the final one. Not what I wanted but "The Ultimate Game" font seems to work. I am NOT a cover artist but with a small company now having everything done by one man (me) it simply has to do.


The storyline:

The mystical traveller of the realms, The Thinker, meets a stranger while

travelling along the Path of Counter Actuality. But this stranger is a different type of traveller: he is Illuyanka and he has been charged with on sworn duty –to destroy specific Earths in the multiverse.

 

Finding that Illuyanka is partial to gambling the Thinker risks all by challenging him to a cosmic game pitting heroes against various challenges: they lose then their Earth dies.

 

The Thinker has no doubt that with all of his knowledge he can win.

 

But Illuyanka is not what he seems.
