Swan Lake

Here is a painting that I (Rachel) worked on in June.  To be honest, it has taken a few weeks for me to warm up to it as I normally don't like my work.  However I thought it would be fun to paint Swan Lake with a few Steampunk elements.

Dino Rider Stegosaurs Illustration


Skull Gun Bunny Web Comic, pages 1-6


Skull Gun Bunny issue 1 is a work in progress. The completed issue is 40 pages in length.
I'm working on it in spurts, so check back over the course of the next month and you'll see the pages
posted as I complete them. My goal is to have the completed issue for sale at our next Con, which will probably be some time in September / October.

Magazine Illustration Project


Ethan spent the last month working on a fun illustration project that we decided to share with everybody. Ethan worked on this project during the month of May and it's awesome to finally have it in hand to show off.

Ethan's artwork even ended up on the marketing materials for the magazine

Skull Gun Bunny Preview

All of our projects right now fall into the "work in progress" category. That happens to be the disadvantage to being obsessive compulsive creative people, we have a gazillion things going all at the same time. While we put the finishing touches on some of our story projects, I thought that I would share a short preview of "Skull Gun Bunny". The first issue is a 40 page comic that tells the strange story of Jeff and Otto, two college-bound bunnies who encounter mechanized zombies and the embodiment of Death while shopping at the local supermarket. I'm in the process of coloring and lettering the comic. The pages I'm sharing below are the first 6 pages with the base colors applied. The story begins with Jeff and Otto journeying to the supermarket. Meanwhile, across town, some mechanized zombies are preparing for a kidnapping mission at that same supermarket. 









Character Development and Design for "Skull Gun Bunny"
I thought that I'd also post the teaser that I make earlier in the year for Skull Gun Bunny. I've since revised the character designs and the story line, but I thought that I would post the artwork anyways.

Writer's Blox Project Update


Hello all! Time for another vox on Writer’s Blox!
I’m happy to say that so far the project is going along well. I’ve organized all the suggestions received a couple weeks ago by using a Trello account, a choice that has proven incredibly helpful in keeping track of the many spectacular content requests we received. That easily accessed pool has allowed me to get a better idea of how different ideas work together with each other and work together within the space of the story itself.
As of the moment, btw, I am shooting to take all 80 of your proposals and put them into one work. This will be a difficult task, but one which I believe will reap a great reward (and be fun even in as much as it will be challenging to carry out)!
Not only is there progress to report on puzzling together your collected thoughts, there is also something to be said for the writing itself. I’ve accumulated around five pages of first draft work, mostly regarding the introductory scenes of some of the work's major characters and initial setting. So, score for that!
I look forward to updating y’all as more progress asserts itself and I hope y’all have an awesome week! Cheers!
Writing for you,
Mark Szasz

Once issue one of Skull Gun Bunny and Memoirs of Ko Ko are completed, the penciling process on issue two of Death Elf and Woose will begin with a vengeance.
