First look at my project Hayling!

Journal Entry: Sun May 2, 2010, 7:35 PM
Want your first look at Hayling? Keep on reading! I've been really fleshing out the details lately, and it's coming together in a really epic fashion.

Some of you might remember the first little teaser I did back in October of '09, but I was able to finally set aside a little bit of time to really start detailing characters, story, locations, etc.



Anyway, the story is coming together as a fast paced sci-fi thriller, with a lot of twists and turns and interesting characters. Clicking the above thumbnail you can read a really basic synopsis of the idea.

There's A LOT more to it than that, but it's stuff that I can't give away yet without ruining some of the surprise. Rest assured, it's not going to be some small scale Saw or Cube affair. It's sprawling and vast with consequences that aren't confined to our core group of characters.

When I said I'd give you your first look, though, it was a bit of a ruse. I don't have any art to show yet, but what you're looking at below is just a small portion of the ridiculous amount of outlining, detailing, and brainstorming I have to do before I'm even able to write the story or do the art.



And what's really going to be fun is how it comes together in the final book. Hopefully what I do with it will be a format unlike anything you've seen before for a story like this. It's going to be a sort of hybrid of a lot of different things, enabling me to tell the best story I possibly can, both written and visually.

Hopefully in the next few weeks or months I can give you a real glimpse into the world I'm building, but until then...

If you need people to keep you entertained, I will get online when I have time. I wish I had the talent you guys have.

On Another note, I am going to load some videos on FB soon, so the Shenanigizing that has been taking place is made public. That should be good for a few laughs, and mild entertainment.

This pretty much perfectly describes what I have been doing with my project. Considereing the fact that the tablet thing just clicked for me, I have beat the learning curve and am drawing up a hurricane. So Rahll, prepare to be dazzled.

the more I see of your stuff, Reid, the more I'm regretting not commissioning you back in the day... timing was just wrong... #@#$%^#@@

very happy for you, and the turns for the positive you've had with your professional aspirations.

ok, time for this old man to get back to work.

Well you can still commission me now, but only if you have half a million dollars, or can provide me with free Burger King meals for life.
