Long time no talk. But I'm still around. I am launching my graphic design and illustration business. Which can be viewed at Julius Graphics (click to go to the site).
So what does that mean, and what does it have to do with "The Frozen Prophets"?
Well, actually it has a lot to do with it. I am reverting the story back to it's original format for now. Meaning I will be releasing it in the form of a Novel, prior to releasing it in a Graphic novel or Manga format.
Basically I am just to busy right now to take on the demands of pencilling, inking, lettering, toning, etc. That alone can add up to a full time job. And that is just time that I don't have right now. However, the story will be getting released as a manga sometime in 2012. No specific date is set as of right now. Chapter 1 is going to undergo a re-draw so it will better fit the rest of the art that I have done so far. Chapter 2 is complete, but I will not be releasing it.
Instead of releasing each chapter as I had originally planned, I will be releasing 5 to 6 chapter volumes. And, depending on the demands of my time, I may very well have to seek out another artist to assist me (at least with either the pencils or the inking/toning).
I am submitting my manuscript for the novel form of the story to a few select publishers to see how it will be received. Although I am not anticipating being picked up by a publisher, I just want to get some professional feedback and see what they have to say about it all.
I will probably self publish the book, (which means I will have to do all my own marketing). That's not a bad thing though, because for those of you who enjoy the story, it gives you and I a better chance to connect. I want to keep it personable. The 1 series in what I am anticipating as a 3 part series so far, should be due for release within the next two months. Again, this depends on the constraints of my time.
So, stay tuned, as I will be bringing this blog back to life in about another month. Talk to you guys soon.
