It begins....

Today I have begun writing a rough draft of the first script for Clockwork Queen. It wont' be a full script yet as I don't have time to do that right now (before school ends) so I'll just get as much of it done as I can. I also have to make sure to have the first five pages of it done perfectly so I can finish the first five comic pages for my submissions packets. I think to save time I will do it on my smaller Maxon paper and print it on printer paper for the packets. I do love using that paper...



Here is a WIP shot of the CWQ gang getting a mission brief from Samantha. I plan on using this as part of my submissions packet. I have some mistakes in it to correct however, before I ink it.
So the work is happening! I'll keep updating till the submissions packets are done.
Excitement!

Artist Alley is also this week. I'll be giving a friend of mine a visit as she is selling bookmarks there. Hopefully I can score some cool comics while I'm there :D I love seeing what my fellow students are up to comic-wise.

I'll keep you updated! Until then,
Stay Steamy!

PROGRESS, IT DOES HAPPEN!

Big news for Clockwork Queen!

For my final project for Comic Book Scripting class, we have to prepare a submissions packet to send out to a publisher (or two). I've decided to send out Clockwork Queen and see how she does. This means... PROGRESS IS HAPPENING! I've already started some production art, and writing for it. Let's hope I can get it all done by the 26th of May ;D I'm so excited!

I'll be sure to keep you updated here.

Stay Steamy!

Comic update

Gosh CWQ is so neglected ;_;

School has been really busy (as usual) but it's paying off because I made the Dean's list for the Winter 08 quarter! :D And I'm hoping to do it again this quarter so I've been very busy with work for classes and putting together a portfolio for editor's day next month; which includes a little practice doodle that turned into a comic page for Clockwork Queen as seen here. Sorry for the watermarking but I recently felt it necessary to do so.
Samantha is giving Millie 'The Talk' about Men, while Mick is doing the same for Cole. I plan to finish this out in a few pages following the same two sided, top/bottom format as this page is.

I'm currently working on a one page illustration of the crew looking over some maps on the kitchen table of the Amelia (the airship of Mick and Samantha). I would take a photo but my camera batteries have died and I cant' find the thingy to recharge them :< But I'll post it on DA and link it here when its' done.

Clockwork Queen trudges onward!
Have a good week, and STAY STEAMY!

Madonna and Child Painting- WIP

Hello all!
This update is about a painting that I had in my head and have finally started today. It is the robot of Sara Winters, and a robot baby, posing like the many "Madonna and Child" paintings (I've seen so many in my Survey of Western Art II class that they stuck in my head). This will accompany my Clockwork Queen comic, maybe as back cover. One day.



I haven't gotten to do a lot of work on the comic itself so it's nice to be able to work on this. School has been taking over my weekends. But I did get some new comic book paper (manga paper actually) but I really like working with it so I'm hoping to at least get some layout pages done. It's smaller than the usual 11x17 inches, this stuff is A4 sized. I prefer working on a smaller scale. So hopefully I'll have some pages done by the end of the quarter, but I'm not totally counting on it. Unfortunately school comes first then fun art. I'm trying to get all A's this quarter, and the next (I managed to snag all sequential classes! so happy!) so I can get into the honors program at VCU when I transfer next fall. Ugghh *dies*

A picture update

A new Clockwork Queen sketch!


I thought it would be funny to show Mick trying to show Samantha his affections for her. His face looks really sincere, and she looks more angry than she really is. This idea popped into my head when I saw sketch #5 of Brichan's character meme: http://bri-chan.deviantart.com/art/character-meme-reginald-74849226 Check out her DA site while you're there, she does the cutest Alice in Wonderland fan art XD

School has been really busy but I'm trying to squeeze in more work on the comic whenever I can. I love drawing and writing it so I'm not quitting. I'm also cooking up plans for a Samantha cosplay for when I take the mini comics to cons. I can't wait. :D I'll post links for costuming ideas too when I find some.

Stay steamy!

Age of Progress

So today in my spare time I started the first page for the first chapter of Clockwork Queen. It's a few scenes that happen before the mini comic began so I'm not restarting, but I might redo some of the mini comic pages. Especially after my life drawing class. Some of the characters just looked way too flat to me, so with improvements in skill come improvements in work. I'll try to at least post some WIP photos of pages, and a watercolor picture of Millie. I'm also working on watercolor portraits of each of the characters for CWQ. I love my cheap $2 Crayola watercolors <3

More to come soon!

Updates

After a long drought, I bring you some news!
Worry not, the lack of updating on here does not reflect my actual work for Clockwork Queen. Now that the holidays have settled down I have gone on a writing spree and more story has been developed. I am a happy girl :) I've got a few art updates at Deviantart of characters from a steampunk story I'm working on with a dear friend. It takes place in the same world as Clockwork Queen and there might be a cross over some time in the future? We'll see ;) Gotta get these stories done first!

Here are my pictures for the curious at heart:
