My WIP finally has a title! None of the many characters have names yet, but that’s another matter entirely, right? In any case, the project is now going by Some Did Rest. I’ve spent the last few months outlining and doing research, and I’m finally nearing the point where I can start writing the script. I’ve done enough background work now that I’m hoping this next phase will be a bit quicker.
Some Did Rest is a very different work than Highwater… there are still some teenage characters, but this is distinctly a much more adult story. The structure is also very different and less straight-forward, and the style looser and grittier. And on that note, I’ve updated the project page with some new concept art and character sketches. There are a lot of visuals I want to bring into the final pages, and I’ve yet to figure out just how I want the pages to be laid out… I have a few ideas, but you’ll have to wait to see those. :)
I’ve been working on a new short project to keep my hands busy while Some Did Rest is still in words-only phase. This one is a collaboration, with a fellow FinePrint client, Michael Jasper, doing the writing! It’s fully pencilled already, and I should hopefully have some teaser images to post once the pages are inked and colored! It should be good.
Also updated is the list of literary agents who represent graphic novels— there are now 50 different agencies on the list! Take a look, and feel free to drop me a line if you know of anyone I’ve missed, or if you have any questions I can help with.
