I figured I should put my plans for the near future in here, so you guys will know what to expect.

I'm going to be working on putting together what I'm calling 'demo packages' for submissions to various publishers...each package consists of a three to six page example of sequential art--meaning I choose a small but interesting(hopefully) section of a story to illustrate as part of the submission--plus a short-as-possible synopsis of the story in its entirety, including how it will break down into self-contained books. It's possible I'll be including character designs and descriptions for each package as well...but I haven't yet decided on that for sure.
Aside from working on those, I will also be trying to produce more colored work, primarily for promotional purposes and sales at conventions.

Right now I'm working on the demo pages for Legend of Faehr(tentative title) which is a story I came up with not too long ago while on a long drive. The first page is done and it looks fantastic(to me anyway), but I've slowed down on the scripting for the next bits because it includes a dream sequence and I need the paneling to be innovative and flowy....the composition of the entire page has to be artistic and pleasing, because there will be very little character art....mainly words and abstracts. So I'm working that part carefully.

Anyway, all of this stuff will be put on dA so you guys can see it(aside from the story synopsies, I don't want to ruin anything).

Also, I will soon begin posting the Cagefighter: First Loss text in chunks. Since I am not planning on continuing work on BLP for a while at the least....I figured I'd go ahead and post the story. Anyone who doesn't want to read it for fear of revealing possible 'spoiler' information on BLP(becauce I will eventually finish that comic series), feel free to ignore it. But I hope that most of you will at least give it a try. One of the main reasons I am doing this is because I have the feeling that most of you are of the opinion that I write mostly silly fluff comedy...which is not the case at all. I'm positive that if any of you were to get your hands on a synopsys of the entire BLP series, for instance, you would be pretty startled at the contents. I think that Cagefighter will change that opinion, because it is anything but 'light'.
