I have (as the title states) completed chapter of the ongoing series The Frozen Prophets. I have decided on self publishing as my means of printing. I will be selling copies at various websites I will post links as soon as I get my own copy to ensure its quality. It will be released in monthly installments for the time being. My work schedule will not allow for more.
I am excited to get started on chapter two, and already have about a fourth of it sketched out and ready for ink. I am going to take the holiday weekend to get as far ahead as I can since I will be returning to work on Monday. This is an exciting moment for me, to see something that I made put in print. I only hope that others will enjoy what I am creating.

Pages 14, 15, and 16 are up.
You can see them ---> CLICK HERE TO READ MY MANGA <-----
I will not be posting very many more of my pages up on my blog unless I think they are just awesome, so if you want to stay updated with the story, feel free to check it out (bookmark the site or something).
I think I will be putting up some tutorials and videos soon (some of my own, and some of my favorites), for whenever I get the audience that wants to create their own, or simply wants to know how it's done.
Ok, Enjoy.

Yen Press -- Manga Talent Search
With the lack of TokyoPop's "Rising Stars of Manga," Yen Press, an online serialized magazine is hosting what they call a talent search. Although to me it sounds more like a casting call for open auditions. They say there will be no "winners" however one, some, or none may be chosen for a publishing deal.
Information can be found on there website Here
The deadline is set for January 3rd, 2011. I am pretty excited about this. I need to dish out about 18 more pages and I'll be ready to go. I just finished up on all the touch-ups for everything I have had done so far.
The tough part is going to be that they want a 32 page submission. Well, getting 32 pages will not be hard. What will be hard is closing my story up within those 32 pages so it has a decent ending, but not actually ending the series. I think I have it figured out. Last night I re-worked my plot and created a nice detailed time-line. I think I know right where to end it, and if all goes well, it will leave them wanting more, because it'll end on a huge cliffhanger, but still give a sense of closure.
Oh yes, here is page 13.
And remember, if you want to read the full manga thus far, simply click HERE <-----

Really startin to like the digital ink
It makes me a little sad faced to put away the pens and ink for a bit, but I tell you what, I am REALLY liking the end results by doing everything (except the pencils) digitally.
At least I am starting to get some good use out of my Wacom tablet, poor thing was turning into more of a coaster than a drawing utensil. I just finished page 13, and I feel as though I am starting to grasp the concept of toning. It's hard not to overdo it because when I sketch I like to add a lot of detail. But I am getting used to not going overboard like I felt I was doing in earlier pages.
Simplified art is hard for me? haha well I guess, I'll learn...or give up...but probably learn.

Page 12 is up on smackjeeves
I have added page 12 to my smackjeeves site. http://thefrozenprophets.smackjeeves.com/ (you can see it here).
I have decided to digitally ink the rest of Chapter 1 simply because it is quicker and easier. Right now I want to get the last 8 pages finished up. They are all sketched out and ready to go, hopefully I will be adding 1 to 2 pages per day until the chapter is complete.
Chapter 2 is roughed out and Chapter 3 is about half done. After I get the first 5 chapters done, I will be offering a 5 chapter volume book on my blog here. I hope you all enjoy what you see so far.
Oh, and also, I have decided to quit being so lazy and take my shading a little more serious, it is more time consuming, but I hope to have the art a little more defined (facial expressions, detail, character stiffness).
This is my first actual attempt at a manga/comic so it isn't going to be the greatest, but I am noticing a small improvement with each page, and I will continue working to better the end result. Have a good one.
