In other news, the site is undergoing a redesign — or should I say, restarting design?  In the meantime, enjoy some lovely default WordPress theme-ness.

Production-wise, I am working on the script some more, and laying out the pages.  The first pages might be published before Hell freezes over, or not.

I’ve also just picked up a copy of Scott McCloud’s Making Comics.  I haven’t had a chance to read much of it, because I have had a god-awful sinus cold for the last few days, but I enjoyed Understanding Comics and I can only imagine this one will be even more enjoyable and informative.

The script-writing is coming along. I’ve written and revised the first 7 pages to the point that I am satisfied with them and am not looking back. Now, it just remains to lay them out on the paper and see just how horribly wrong I’ve been about how much dialogue and action my own meager skills can actually communicate on the page. I’ve got dialogue for the next 2 pages (which are, in fact, almost entirely dialogue), but I am not sure that I should interject 2 pages of pure dialogue at this point in the story. I think I will trim it down.

Having just read the first four parts of Warren Ellis’ Freakangels, I was struck with how little dialogue there actually is in that comic… I suppose it’s the “less is more” concept.

I’m going to try and strike a balance, I think. I am sure it will be crap, but oh well.

Regarding Freakangels, it’s entertaining but not much has happened yet. The first four parts so far, released once a week, have mostly been setting up some background and introducing a few characters, and not much else. Of course, because it’s Warren Ellis, there are a lot of eyes on it. I am not particularly familiar with his style, so maybe this is par for the course. I mostly read his blog, rather than his comics.
