New Comic - Update 01

Nepath

on Aug. 14, 2021

I hate to use the The Duck platform in this way to just promote something that ultimately will not be posted here, but I feel I put a lot of time and effort into the comics I did on this site, what with Energize, Heroes Unite, etc..that perhaps it's an okay think to do.

Anyway, the news I have is that I have been working hard the last two years on an all-new comic story. I have come up with a whole new range of characters that span from the 70's through to the present day, and all for a story that I am calling "Children of Elysium"

If you have been following me on Deviantart, you may know about this already, but if not, it will be a story about a retired hero, that suffered a tragic loss, who is given hope by his daughter that he still has a place in the world.

The hero is Elysium, pictured above.

The script is fully written, character designs are done, the look of the comic is set in my head and I have put together a custom colour palette. I am currently working on the logo and then I will begin storyboards.

I am not approaching this the same as my webcomic days, it's not that i am not proud of those comics, because I am. But they were a different beast, whereby I would knock out a page in the quickest time possible to meet a regular update schedule and tell the story. But through that I suffered a little creative burnout.

This time I am doing things more professionally/traditionally for a (hopefully) higher quality product that better demonstrates what I am capable of.

Once I have the logo, I will be launching some form of website where I will post regular production updates along with snippets of work from the comic. Then as the time gets nearer I will sort out details of exactly how this is going to be published.

A long way to go, but maybe anyone here that enjoyed Energize might be interesting in joining the journey.

I will make a few more updates here on The Duck, so keep watching.
