So I thought I might start this one off with some REALLY good news. For those who didn't know I have been looking for a new artist to work with me on Grand Theft Exodus - The NeoExodus: A House Divided Webcomic. Well I few weeks back I found one that I liked with the art style that I was looking for. So we have been going back and forth on the desig of the main two characters: Niobe Mylona and Tahki Zitkata.
The artist sent me the final artwork for the character design and now I am showing them to you. We will have more character design artwork coming in the future which will include Protectorate Peacekeepers, mechanical Arcane Intelligences, Khaynites and even Nysska of the Folding Circle. So if you are a fan of NeoExodus: A House Divided then you should be read Grand Theft Exodus. Coming soon. Talk to you later...

Well it looks like my other webcomic, Grand Theft Exodus, might be back on track. The artist has been given all the back group info and I hope to start seeing some art soon, which of course we will place up here for everyone to see. Just the waiting can be a bit of a pain. I hate waiting. Talk to you later...

Well it happened again, my artist for Suits just got an eight month gig from Oni Press. While I am happy for him (Congratulations! Good work!) this kind of kicks me in the nuts and now I am back to square one looking for an artist for Suits…again. I swear this webcomic is going to be the death of me. Oh well, back to looking for artists. Happy Fourth of July and talk to you later…

Well I finished the layout on the Adventure Planner for The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game under the Pathfinder® Roleplaying Game Compatibility License and if I do say so myself I think it looks FANTASTIC!!! I think The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game GM and fans will find this to be incredible useful for their games. This is just one of the several products we will have available for purchase to use with The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game when it releases on August 13th (make sure you get the PDF version for only $9.99. What a steal!!!) So stay tuned, we will be announcing more releases soon! Talk to you later...

If you read my blog long enough you will notice that I do several things at the same time so it seems like I am constantly busy. Well I am, sort of. I like to start a lot of different projects, develop them to a point roughly 50% done and then I walk away from them and do something else. The reason is at 50% I have invested a lot of time in it but at the same time I just don't want to walk away from it. One of those projects that falls under this was the unreleased webcomic NeoExodus: Grand Theft Exodus. I first started the development of this roughly 18 months ago with Anthony Cournoyer doing the artwork. But of course as with any business other things became more important and NeoExodus: Grand Theft Exodus gets pushed to the sideline. Enter yesterday, after spending weeks looking for a new artist, I have secured one to do the artwork on the all new NeoExodus: Grand Theft Exodus project. As with Suits, this will be a weekly webcomic series that I hope to start relapsing in August. So stay tuned all you fans of the NeoExodus: A House Divided RPG, NeoExodus: Grand Theft Exodus plans to be just as exciting. Talk to you later...

Because I can't find an artist who is not busy getting ready for San Diego Comic Con or Gen Con, I have decided to spend my time working on the design and look of the Suits graphic novel/trade paperback cover. I want to go with a very simple image that will easy make you understand what this book might be about. While there is type on the page, font sytle is not right. I am just using it for "for placement only" to get the graphic balance of the cover right. Now while this might be a bit premature on my part (since I estimate the Suits GN/TPB will be 180 roughly and he have done only a few panels) it gets me thinking of what the final version will be and what the fans should expect. Talk to you later...

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

You are in business to make money right? Well here is some free money, I have been using Project Wonderful since I first read about it in How to make Webcomics. But some of you people out there are not using it. Why? The ads you get from Project Wonderful are normally more comic, webcomic and gaming focused then what you would get from the big ad sites like Google. Do yourself a favor and sign up at Project Wonderful and stat making some free money. Talk to you later...

Talk about brilliant marketing: Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook (OGL) PDF for only $9.99 OR Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook (OGL) Hardcover for 49.99. Which one are you going to try first? Who doesn't have $10 to try out a 500+ page RPG? Now this makes me think, should I reduce the price of NeoExodus: A House Divided Campaign Setting to $4.99? Or even less? Got to think about that. You can read the comments about this over at EN World here and here. Enjoy and Talk to you later...

OK If you really want to get your product in retail locations then you need to understand what goes through the mind of retail owner. That is something that is not readily available. But you can still get that information. The best place to get that information in the Tilting at Windmills written by Brian Hibbs, owner of San Francisco's premier comic book store, Comix Experience. This book even though form roughly 15 years ago the lessons and knowledge is still absolute true and valuable today. Brian has a very interesting very of what the future should be and even 15 years later nothing has really changed and the same problems exist. If you have a retail store and your sales are going down the tubes, YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE THIS BOOK. The reason I know using this book you can make a very successful retail store is because this book was given to me by Tate Ottait, owner of Tate’s Comic here in South Florida, who said he followed and did just about everything in this book. Using this book Tate went from a 1,000 sq.ft store in 1993 to an over 6,000 sq. ft main comic store with an additional a 2,000 sq. ft gaming retail store a few stores down from the main store in 2009. So understanding what retailers want will help you understand what you need to do to get your product into their stores. Tilting at Windmills is mandatory reading for those who are looking to be serious about specialty shop retail sales and selling. Talk to you later…

I don’t know where I even got this, but it was important enough for me to write down so here you go. If you really want to be the number one person/company in your industry than ask and answer the next four questions:
Answers this four questions honestly and truthfully and you will take over that market. It is that simple. Talk to you later…

Too many of you think you understand what a logo is, and you don’t. A logo is not just a bunch of word in a particular for you use as a title on your product. A logo should easily tell you what to expect from the product it is attached to. The logo is the first thing people are going to see to determine if they want to give you anymore of their valuable time. So instead of explaining what it means to have a good logo or describe to you what good font usage is, I thought it might be best to give you the book that I used to help understand the process for me. The Logo, Font & Lettering Bible by Leslie Cabarga is an EXCELLENT book for this topic. I have found it not to be just instructive, technically speaking, it is also visually innovative. I have not found a better book that covers this topic with such interest and knowledge. If you want to improve the look and design of your products (and many of you who read this really need to, for example Bad Baby Productions you need this book. You REALLY need this book!) go and get it. So instead of buying another RPG book for $30 dollars why don’t you take a second and get this book which will help you make a lot more money than the $30 you spent to purchase it. Talk to you later…

Right now I am in an interesting position. I have completed the first whole 25-page comic book issue (roughly 90+ issues/episodes of the webcomics) of Suits. I have started writing the second comic book issue of Suits (about half way through) and I am doing the outline for issue #3 & 4 to start writing ASAP. The only thing I am waiting on is the “potential” artist. We have a verbal agreement, contingent on this job he may or may not be offered. Now I have no issue with this, he told me upfront about this and since being a comic book artist is his full time job I know he has to go where the money is. I hope we can work this all out. I REALLY want to get Suits out there. This is one of those that I am really proud of. Plus I need to start working on Ghostwalkers again. Since Ghostwalker is my long tern “epic novel”, I am happy If I can do a solid page done in it a day. I plan Ghostwalkers to be a color book while Suits is going to be complete black and white with grayscale tones. But the waiting is killing me. Like Fort Minor said, “I am like a struggling doctor; I have no patience and I hate waiting”. Talk to you later…

I just finished the lettering on the #2 issue/episode (What do you think sound better issue or episode? Let me know.) of Suits. I have to find the artwork for #3. It is somewhere on my computer but I can't remember where I placed it. It is also the final issue Alex GarcÃa P. because he became too busy on other projects to continue working on this one. I am so glad for all of his work on this project and helping me get this off the ground. If everything turns out right (keeping fingers crossed) the new artist on this project will be Jeff Wamester. I plan to start the webcoming on August 26 (That date is not set in stone, so totally don't hold me to it) and we will release the first four issues/episodes and then have weekly updates after that. Once again thanks to everyone support on this project. Talk to you later...
