Deutschmaschine nearing completion

Fetternity

Creating a comic seems easy. Writing it is a labor of love indulged by a dream-like trance.

Editing it.... not so much. Thank Cthulhu (Ïa! Ïa Dagon! Ïa Cthulhu!!) that this team is very open and talented. Ladies and gentlemen, the hard-working artists behind Deutschmaschine:

I stated before that the first version of Gabriele by Santiago scared mea bit. And he put that fear to rest swiftly. His pages are structurally sound, very solid and clean work. I don't [...]

When the current's too strong...

Fetternity

There's one thing that's at times great, and at times disconcerting. It's productivity.

Snce finishing the inks on Rip Current (yes, yes!!), I've taken a small break, at least when I'm home. Playing videogames, watching Futurama, Metalocalypse, etc.

But tonight, at work, I started working again on Deutschmaschine. Namely, the first story arc's script.

What a mistake. Now I've got two days off and I know that if I don't control myself, I'll [...]

Week X - Deuschmaschine

Fetternity

(disclaimer: enormous blog post with loads of pictures)

I write Week X because, in all honesty, I have no idea how long it’s been since Jive-A-Tastic Julian Lawrence received the assignment of editing Deutschmaschine. Time has been evolving at a strange pace since the appearance of the Keeper of the Gate and Key on that edition of The Gutter…

However, now I figured I might as well talk about it a bit now, hu [...]

Making time

Fetternity

...ooooh boy am I fat... Why is it that every time I want to order something relatively healthy to be delivered at work it's always 1) a jacuzzi-sized platter and 2) loaded with everything that makes it tasty too easily, i.e. fat, sugars and salt?

Anyway.

I'm saying this because I need the fat and energy; I'm running on pretty low batteries right now. Everyone except my girlfriend and I have or are currently sick with the flu or a vicious cold or something, and I'm [...]

Reviews? Reviews!

I swore I wouldn't do this... I told myself I was going to give out one-on-one editing consultations, and that's it! It would go no further! Yet here I am...

Immediately when I first conceived the idea to meet with people and have editing sessions with them, there was a nagging thought in the back of my mind. It went along the lines of "Hey, you know what else you can do? You could pen up some reviews for the pitches you look over!" I dismissed this idea b [...]

Ruminations, Redactions, and a Modest Proposal

WillGibson

First things first: Congratulations to Fett for the win. I still feel your comic has a terrible title, but then mine does too, so maybe that means yours is great. Still, good to see such a positive if verbose person get the win. Not that any of the previous winners have been any less of either. I do have one request, however: please try to stay active on the site, despite the new amount of work. You're my power-voter, my hero-level supporter, and I need your inflated v [...]

...and #8 is flesh and steel!

Fetternity

*breathes deeply*
...and I have to do this in the shadow of Tenzil's acceptance speech last week. Ciboire!
Let's do this.

Premièrement, j'aimerais prendre cette occasion pour remercier ma chérie, Marie-Pierre, pour son support, son amour, son savoir de l'allemand et, disons-le, son corps, qui a été la toute première source d'inspiration pour Deutschmaschine. Merci pour tout, chérie. Die Deutschmaschine lebt.

My CCN updates

Fetternity

I figured I might as well clue you guys and gals in.

So what's new?

● I've included concept art for Gualtieri, the main antagonist in the first issue of Hept-Seshet: Until the End of Forever, as well as the fan art for the Seven-Part soul in their home setting. Many thanks to Phil Shaw at www.sacredpie.com! ;

● Also, if you guys did not seeyet, there's VacationAvenger who provided me with a nice, hairy and dirty take on Khaibit for Hept-Seshet, too. [...]

UT1 Interviews: Part 3 of 8 - Deutschmaschine

Lord Maim

Two months ago, the experiment began. A group of like minded individuals got together, chose a topic and gave themselves one month to create a pitch from scratch based on the group's decision. Eight pitches emerged, and have been thoroughly examined.

Now for your listening pleasure, here's the third of eight interviews with the Unofficial Thinkup participants, discussing their cyberpunk pitches in their own words.

Today's interview is with Fetternity and his pitch Deu [...]

Think-up is Up! (EDIT)

Fetternity

So I might as well do like everyone else in the group!

My Unofficial Think-Up pitch, Deutschmaschine (UT1), is now public and available for your review.

Be tough, be kind, be thorough, be whatever you can be. Let's see if Cyberpunk is still alive in y'all :)

EDIT: I have added a new witty, street-level character, as well as my preliminary, detailled outline of issue #1 . I like this form of [...]
