Eravamo stanchi di sentire ripetere a nastro “filmone” e “tanta roba”, “epicità” e “norreno”, e perciò con il mio amico Germano “Hell” Gr…

Layouts for a new 100 page Coll book called COLL: Warchild

[coll-comics]

I keep posting the heroes but Coll has his share of villains. Here is a sketch of the Necromancer Belos from this morning.

I’ve been plugging away on Coll pages. I have a ton of thumbnails and layouts and know exactly where this story is going. That said I’m directing a series of commercials for a video game and I’m writing a commissioned script for a feature film. My brain is definitely being pulled in a few different directions right now so I’ve had to sit down and make a game plan. Unfortunately the ranking breaks down as 1.Commercials 2.Script leaving 3.Working on Coll comics . With a family to feed and support and a dedicated awesome wife that puts up with way too much nonsense I have to put the paying gigs at the top of the queue. I will still be drawing a few pages a day and on the days when full pages of Coll are too much to tackle I’ve started working on a one-shot comic about a dungeon explorer that I am drawing on post it notes. It gives me something to do to stay sharp. Working on my own comic has become very important to me and I want to arrive at a place where what plays in my head all day reaches the page. It’s a lot of blood, sweat and tears, self doubt and angst. I’ve met some great people in the last few years through comics and I really love the energy and creativity I see every day in the comics community. I’ve had a lifelong love of film and comics and I’m finding that although working on comics can be extremely demanding it is immediate and infinitely rewarding. I’ve filled 7 sketchbooks with work on Coll not to mention the pages piling up in our little apartment. I’ve delayed putting Coll up as a webcomic if only because I’m fixing to level up the art on this next iteration. Thanks for hanging in there and paying attention to any of this work. Especially the people who’ve put up their hard earned dough to buy our books at the various expos we’ve attended. It means a lot. Stick with me and with Coll, good things are coming.

Necrophobia Update

Winter draws ever closer and blizzards ravage the island of Caelumons yet there is a bigger problem—The dead have risen.  Empowered by dark magic the undead are relentless and drawn towards the temples of the dragon god. Few can survive their onslaught and those that fail add to their number. Claire Acestes, a local hunter finds herself caught in their midst alongside a mysterious sorcerer and learns about the life and death of her mother. Claire must venture to the rain-soaked industrial city of Kriegsfeld plagued by vampires to uncover the truth. What connection does a traitor Inquisitor, a Three-Eyed Owl and the death of her mother hold in common? What lengths will people go to cheat death? 

[Original Post]

As I work on the follow-up book (news to come) I’ve taken the time to go back and make some changes to the first novel. Both to make sure the novels remain consistent but also because I want the books to be the best they can be as I grow as a writer.

Necrophobia has been updated with some significant changes: Story elements have been clarified or reworded, certain scenes have been expanded to enhance either the story or the characterisation, minor formatting and grammar errors have been corrected. It’s the same book but better, sleeker and more polished.

Updating:  If you own the book you will not have to repurchase the book. If you have automatic updates turned on you should be able to download the latest version. Turning on automatic updates should also force an update for the novel. Manual updates differ from e-reader to e-reader but a “check for updates” option should be available for all e-readers.

If you don’t own the book: The ebook will be on sale from 4th-8th of November.
