Carnegie Comics Market 2013

Thanks to all that popped along to the Comics Market yesterday. Had a lot of un doing some scribbles, chatting with people about the upcoming comic. Also had the pleasure of having a table next to Frank Candiloro and Matt Nichols, two very approachable great guys who let me pick their brains about comics. Massive thankyou as well to my fiance, Alana who sat there with me all day and ran the table whilst I just scribbled away and talked to people.

Synopsis

Will be taking along a few A4 print outs of the synopsis page to this Saturday's Comics market for those interested in the From Above setting. Here it is for those who can't make it. Hope to see a few of you there.

Delivery at the door this morning...yes. The A3 prints and stickers have arrived. Will be selling these at the Comics Market on the 29th for anyone who is interested. :)

Clothing and Stickers

Ok, this is just a bit exciting. Arrived home from work this evening to discover I had some presents waiting for me. Tshirts, Hoodies and stickers. Should make it very easy to spot myself and Alana at the comics Market on June 29 :)

Its a bit stereotypical by comic book poses but I couldn't help indulging in this one to get the day rolling. Another mood piece.

It's raining in Melbourne right now. It rains even more in the city state of futuristic Melbourne City. Something moody to ponder as we hit the hay for the night.

Concept Art

A little bit more of a sneak peek to the story behind From Above with some more concept art of a few characters from the cast.

A quick pencil sketch of our protagonist to get the day rolling.

Orion Industries

Robotics has advanced significantly in future Melbourne, and many separate corporations compete for market share in what is a very lucrative and cut throat consumer industry. Orion industries are one of the prevalent manufacturers providing a lot of the security hardware to the more prolific sectors.

Persephone

Part of what makes up futuristic Melbourne are the many bits of advertising and signage. Representing the various companies and products, they add to the picture and help to flesh out the character of the city itself.

Network 15 News - Robots: Friend or Foe?

The city state of Melbourne City has an abundance of technology. With that technology however comes a degree of fear, and from that fear, violence.

Network 15 news: The Alpha Menace?

One of the many things that will be happening in the background of the story will be events fleshing out the future world of Melbourne City. News broadcasts will pop up relaying current events to help the reader engage more in the world the story is set in. Stacy Kendish for Network 15 will become a familiar face.

It begins now!
