07/07/2011 see’s the first few pages from ROBERT RANKIN’S EMPIRES see them here:
Shhhh! I don’t think I am allowed to do this but I have put Empires into an online comic format that I will update each week if I can
Oh well done for putting that up here, I didn't know how to do it. Only 99 other pages to go up and you'll see the whole thing. Mind you I still have 52 to draw.
Same date as me seeing The Sisters Of Mecry for the ninth time. Christ that makes me feel so bloody old. Mind you I made some new friends which is always rather nice. And it was a damned fine gig, 30th anniversary tour dont you know.....
Lovely, is this from the graphic novel thing? What are we aloud to know so far?
Two more pages went up today, please have a look and tell me what you think. And if you like them please say so on the Beyond Reality website page.
Cheers
It's pretty damned good stuff so far!
Did you have any input on the colouring, the who and how, or was it a sub-contracted-out-by-the-publisher thing? (Google thinks that Coleen Littleford-Allen is American) The subdued colour scheme seems to really fit the piece.
I didn't really have much of a say, although I was offered one. I am no good with colour and it is a huge project, 100 pages in all. So I could not possibly supervise the colouring of each page, so I let her get on with it. I think the guy who is financing the project has now had someone else take over. I have no idea when it will ever be printed in full colour, but my black and white version will come out as a hard back limited edition run of 1000 next year, each one signed and numbered. That in itself is a huge project.
I am now up to page 51 and have to finish by the end of August. It is possible.
I’m watching this comic with interest, but Robert just what is it you have against chickens?
Page 7
Page 17
They are a continuing theme in the comic and at this point I am three pages from completion, it has been a journey.
