Tales from the Cube V.3

I’ve changed themes a bit, this one comes up in IE just as easily as Firefox and I don’t mind the color scheme, either.

For those fans of Paul C, the Cartoon Frolics Website has been moved over entirely to the new server and Paul’s Gallery Page has brand new spankin’ images. Old Images will be moved over bit by bit without any text across the images themselves per Paul’s request.

Also, if anyone is on Daz 3d’s Artzone.com site, Paul’s member site is here. He’ll be cross posting images whenever they become available.

We both liked the Gehma one sheet so more one sheets featuring each character are on tap for the new year…

Welcome to Gehma is still in the building phases. And, with the place holder image having been up for a bit, I decided to play around with a design for a one sheet.

It can be found here.

First things, first, background image isn’t ours, I grabbed it from the BBC’s Space and Nature Website and all of the fonts can be found for free at Blambot, a good site for free fonts and word balloons.

The verbiage will probably stay the same. The background will probably be switched before it gets posted to the website proper.

Thoughts, comments, suggestions are welcome.

The first thirty-nine pages of Bread, Milk and Blood: A tale of Zzzooommmbbbiiieeesss in Rhode Island and Providence Plantations is now live.

Unlike my Serenity/Firefly 2005 NaNoWrimo Novel entitled Leaves on the Wind, I won’t be posting the rest of BMB online.

I’m going to be finishing the novel and will be sending out query letters once I’m ready. One of my co-workers whose read one of my other scripts thought the title was disgusting (in a good way), so that’s a step in the right direction right there.

With NaNoWrimo behind us it’s time to refocus on Welcome to Gehma.

I spent sometime during the last few NaNoWrimo Write Ins going over my 2004 NaNoWrimo Novel called Gehma: A Rider’s Tale that Welcome to Gehma is based on and I’ve been hacking away at the overview chapters and adding more to the already 55k word count.

Looking back on the novel there is no hook in the beginning of the novel, it’s a lot of cold, info dumping that doesn’t need to be there. Granted some of it needs to be there to explain things but taking a page from my screenwriting misadventures: Hook them in the first 5 pages.

I think once I get some of the info dump narrowed down I have a scene that should hook people.

I’ll be seeing Paul C today, if he has any Gehma images I can pass along you will be the first to know.

Also, any of the inner circle of friends/editors feel like giving the first thirty-nine pages a once over with their red pens are more than welcome to tear it apart.

PS: For those Whovians in the USA: The Doctor Who Original Television Soundtrack CD is worth the money.

I’ve moved the Phantom Riders On-Line Comic, here to the front page. Update your bookmarks. It won’t be moving again. Time to starting using this domain properly.

I wish I could say update your RSS Feeds as well, but the comic’s RSS Feed is still fubarred and it’s not on my end it’s the coding.

Hopefully the XComic Guys will correct this oversight shortly, after become so accustomed to an RSS Feed I suddenly know what a smoker feels like going cold turkey.

I’ve also taken down Gehma: A Riders Tale story due to it and the On-Line Comic will not be a complete Adaptation more like a Based On. I will revisit the Story to flesh it out more, toss the twenty pages of synopsis and overwrite it properly into a Lord of the Rings-like tome it deserves.

For an idea of what the art is going to look like check out Paul C’s Cafepress Store.

As we get more images together we are planning to open a Store first to get the word out, posters, t-shirts and the like. Bookmark that site too.

Now, off to bed…

Time to jump into the deep end of the pool, again.

The O’Hare Dare Script Link.

This is slightly different than my original posting of pages, after some feedback from some of the guys on the Done Deal Messages boards I put about ten pages back into the script.

More on this in the morning…

One of the 90 Day Goals was to get few thousand words done on The O’Hare Dare. Writing a few thousand words meant writing up the backstory. Continue Reading »

90 Day Goals…

1. Go to Gym everyday.

2. Finish second screenplay.

3. Begin writing The O’Hare Dare in earnest.

4. Buy a “20 iMac Mactel sometime in April, preferably after 04-01-06, Apple’s 30th Anniversay.

5. Begin plotting out On-Line Comic based on several backburner ideas.

I haven’t posted anything lately regarding my NaNoWrimo 2004 Book due to Writer’s Block, OT at Work and such.

Well.

With November now 28 days away, I think I’m back on track to finish the novel by the end of October.

I hope.

Here’s the PDF link to what I’ve edited so far. Many more chapters to spell check and edit.

Gehma A Rider’s Tale PDF

So where are the stories, you ask?

Well, The Beginning is still being worked on, sorta.

And, Gehma has hit stumbling block with chapter one being all overview instead of showing the events as they unfold.

The first drafts always suck and this is what happens to Gehma, one month’s worth of writing and about 25% of it is usable. The other 75% is either not done or a Sysnopsis of what should be shown.

Such is life.

1.5 months to go until NaNoWrimo 2005.

Probably be posting eBay stuff today, DVDs, Comics and Original Art from Robert DeJesus, Fred Perry, Rick Mays, Paul Chabot and Paul Way.
