Outsider: A Graphic Novel series by Jaimie McCaw

Outsider is a comic series set in a fictional universe, in a world maintained and built upon by the five element gods. These gods created human and animal life, and before their untimely demise, entrusted their elemental powers to groups of humans, allowing them and their descendants to wield these elements with the help of the segments of earth that also held the gods' powers. Years later, elements are used commonly for fighting; the special earth that enables the release of these powers harvested and built into blades, knives, bows, axes, hammers and other weapons of war. Lyra Alexanders, a 16 year old electricity and sword user, is an orphan residing in the country of Victoriana. Due to her assumed origins and a marking she has associating her with a dangerous terrorist group, she is often the target of spite and hatred, but upon finishing her final years of schooling, she and the rest of her peers are about to enter into the recruitment training stage of their 2 year conscription into their nations military, something all Victorianan element users must undergo after ten years of childhood schooling, and now the young soldier in training is becoming more and more determined to gain the respect of those around her and be a part of something, as well as learn about her true origins as more and more questions of her past begin to pop up. About me, the author and artist: Hello there everyone; my name is Jaimie McCaw. I'm a 24 year old independent artist and graphic design student from NSW, Australia, now living in the ACT, and Outsider is my first large scale graphic novel series (well, first graphic novel series full stop really...) and the story it tells is one that I'm very passionate about. I hope to share it, as well as other artworks and future novel series' with as many people as I can, and I'd absolutely love for it to become something big. Anyway, I thank you for coming by and hope you all enjoy what's to come. :)

Guys! I need your help! Its about a project I have entered into Stir for season 4- an organisation that gives grants to participants who receive the most votes to go towards their creative projects, and its something I could really use for mine.

VOTING COSTS NOTHING AND IS SUPER QUICK AND EASY TO DO and if you let me know you voted, you’ll go into a raffle I’m doing for people who vote for me.

The project is my original comic series, Outsider. A short description of Outsider would be that its the story of a young military conscript with electricity manipulating abilities- its a fantasy genre, and has just a hint of a steampunk aesthetic

This work is important to me not just because its been with me for a long time through conception and development, but I’m making sure to give it the level of representation this genre seems to be lacking. LGBT+ people, people of colour, disabled people and women are often excluded, and we shouldn’t be. We all deserve to feel included in the media we love! And that’s what I want to do with Outsider.

So I’m asking for you all to take a minute to vote for this project.

The first image explains how to vote, and gives you information on the raffle you’ll be entered into if you do vote.

Outsider: Prologue (remastered) I’ll be selling physical copies at the impact comics festival this coming Sunday, and will also start selling them online soon as well also.

Remastered Chapters

I'm happy to say that the Outsider prologue is almost completely remastered. It's being created with coloured vector art and will have some updated written text.

I'm also in the process of designing a new cover, traditionally, using coloured copics.

Chapters 1 and 2 are also going to be remastered digitally in a way that more resembles the style of what chapter 3 is so far and will also contain updated dialogue and text.

The story is the same, I'm just increasing its quality and making it more presentable for reading, and this updated version will be the one that gets printed
