Hey guys,

Seems that reaction to the comic has been quit positive and I’m pleased to see that.  All of us worked extremely hard on it and a lot of talented people have sacrificed a lot of time and effort to make something we were all happy with.

But of all the Reboot images that have ever been made I’d dare say that no one has put as much time and effort into an image as I’ve put into this one.  I’d really like to hear your thoughts on it, and if you like it I encourage you to take it and let it spread like a virus throughout the web.  I’m going to post this low res version first but I’ll attempt to post the hi res version on here as well.

All the best and I really appreciate the enthusiasm of the Reboot fans,

Smartens

Hello!

I think the thing that would benefit my pitch for the comic, PAIN, the most right now would be a sketch of the protagonist, Pain.  Unfortunately, I'm extremely poor at drawing, and need the help of a talented artist.

If I was a talented sketch artist, I'd be interested in sketching Pain because the character looks interesting, unique, vicious and cool.

Here's an extremely detailed physical description of the character:

Pain wears a leather mask kind of like The Gimp from Pulp Fiction except without the zipper covering his mouth. There's holes torn from the leather for his nostrils. The mask is sewn to his face, so there's stitching around his eyes, mouth and neck to keep the mask from coming off easily. He looks like he's been in a lot of fights, so his nose is broken and looks pretty flat under the mask, almost like he doesn't have a nose as though his head is just a skull. There's also a lot of random stitches in his mask from where he's been cut by knives and such and the leather has been repaired.

Around his eyes and mouth you can see a some of his skin which has been burnt by lightning. You should google "lightning burn" for reference. Lightning burns kind of look like lightning as they leave a wavy jagged mark on your skin. Pain's burns are darker than most.

Pain's teeth have been replaced by sharp metal teeth. Similar to Jaws in the Bond movies, but they look more like a bear trap. His teeth are a little too big for his mouth, so even when he closes his teeth, his lips can't quite fit around them. His lips and tongue are also cut and scarred from accidentally biting them.

Though he generally looks pretty deformed and scary, he has sad light blue eyes that make him seem human and depressed.

He wears a black biker style leather jacket, torn baggy blue jeans and black leather combat boots. His jacket, like his mask, has a lot of stitches all over it from where he's been cut and the jacket has been repaired. Underneath his jacket, overlapping strips of leather have been sewn to his body. The leather on his chest looks a little like Edward Scissorhands.

His jeans have some stitches in them too, but there's also a lot of holes especially around his knees. The skin you see through the holes also has a lightning burn pattern. His boots are old and worn.

He's muscular like he works out, but he's not a huge body builder. He's got big biceps and shoulders. He's also a little hunched and slouches. His knuckles are big from being broken a lot and his hands are covered in scars and stitches.

Pain also has a form of CIPA so he never sweats.

Let me know if you're interested in making a sketch!

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mike Jack 

Well, the current assetment of this blog is a bit confusing. It appears to have many features, but much of it does not work. 

I do hope to use this as a sketchblog, so until I can figure out why the insert button does not work on this, I'm afriad this entry will be sketch-less

have some links instead

Set up some of the galleries on this place, still have a lot of descriptions to write, but at least something is up now.
This place shows a lot of potentional, a very interesting community, it'll be neat to see how this all grows.

UPDATE! My official website is online.

My website “Project: AGU (Anything Goes)” is online. This website is the one-stop source to all my proposed comic book pitches and characters. It includes title synopsis and character art and profiles. Featured in the website are my current Zeros2Heroes pitches Superhawke and Redd Blodd as well as other interesting titles.

This site is undergoing heavy construction, so do not be surprises if some of the pages’ layout is different from the other pages. I hope you visit my page and give me comments on how you like it.

...well, not really new, actually. Just been lazy scanning these.

 It's a page pencilled by Francis Manapul as part of a comic released on Free Comic Book day. Here are its inks, by me:

And the original pencils...

 I wonder if we really CAN see the difference.... those lines are so thin and tight!

Anyway, that's what I've got for you.  For now. Maybe. Mouhahahaha!!

Well this is the inaugural blog none will likely read,  but in case someone might lemmme telll ya about myself.  I'm a 29 year old soon to be father who is enjoying his brand new home.  Also (surprise surprise) I am an aspiring comic writer.  THe first pitch I'll be posting is the "Tales From the Loooking GLass."  It's an homage to the great TV programs of the past (Twillight Zone/ NIght Gallery)  In fact each story was written using a wonderful writing exercise detailed in his "Zen and the Art of Writing."  If you haven't read it you should.  they willl be others soon to foloow and I hope beyond hope that this gets noticed.  I think it's a really fun, cool comic with alot mass appeal.  Many times it's been pointed out to me that it's the type of comic people would like to read.  This is from those who don't read comics which is a great sign to me, because we're always talking about why mroe people don't read comics, and think it's because we DON'T WRITE FOR THEM!!  That's another soapbox for another time, infact probably the next one.  So if you've read this and want to keep reading while I extoll my drivel please stick around.  I love spirited discourse and hopefully look forward to seeing some response from some fine folks.

You know what here's that second blog entry now:

 The comics industry can only blame itself for why we're still a niche' industry.  We're like some inside clique that doesn't want anyone else inside.  We write comics rife with inside jokes no one will get unless they're already in the group.  This makes the common person not want to buy comics.  Thus depriving us from a broader market base and increased sales.  This limits the industry and market.  we can not always rely on this industry being supported by a self replicating population where the love of this art form is passed down From parent to child.  We need to grow evolve and spread the love to those outside.  This is can only be good for the indutry as increased sales and liquidity encourages more innovation in story telling/ art/ etc.  what do you fine folks think?
