Due to personal issues, acts is not able to complete all his 3 pages and will now only be assigned page 7. That means pages 9 and 10 are now free - if any artist wants to step in and draw those pages that's fine. Just comment here :-)

Are those action or talking pages?

It looks like they are mostly talking. A lot of talking.

All right, I take the challenge of drawing pages 9 and 10 (I drew that Christmas Party picture), just send me the script and necessary character designs (in case there are characters not previously seen in the series) and I'll start working with them as soon as possible. I'd also like to know what resolution the pages should be and should I also do the coloring.

I think it's actually pages 12 & 13. 9 and 10 are done already. 12 & 13 are talking pages.

On the script I have sent everyone, it is pages 9 and 10. Melsr split his pages in two so when the issue is released, it will be 12 and 13 :) yes this scene is mostly talking - but necessary talking - an issue with constant fighting wouldn't have that much of an impact without a bit of build up and character building.
Hedonisticactor: Shall I send you the script then?

Print resolution is 2100x3150 pixels. It would be great if you could also do the coloring!

Think I missed the boat but if any pages are going I'll help out.

genejoke and hedonisticactor: i will assign you both one page each as that way it works out fairly, can you both PQ me your email adresses as that is how I will send you the script. Thanks :-)

I'm not sure, but I made it gray for my pages. I was looking at page 16 as my guide. So I went with that. There was no color. Plus it think the gray looks better than human flesh.

Brad:
I had Baku as having normal coloured skin as he is more of a brute than a mystical like villain. The grey does seem to work though, but the original intention was to have normal skin colour as it makes him look more imposing. I do like the grey, though - so it's down to the artists on what they would prefer The Baku to look like :-)

I've done Baku normal, here's a pencilled version (no colour naturally) inspired by brads picture.

Posted at 9:02AM, Feb. 19, 2013

I like the angle Genejoke, here's how I would have inked and colored it.

Posted at 8:02AM, Feb. 20, 2013

Awesome, never seen my art look so good.

Posted at 9:02AM, Feb. 24, 2013

That's a perfect rendition of The Baku right there, from both of you. You both have found the exact look I visioned for The Baku.

Posted at 8:02AM, Feb. 26, 2013

after a bit of a delay my page should be finished today. all the pencils and inks are done and most of the panels are coloured too.
Edit, it's finished and sent to ironhand.

Are there any quick artists here who would be capable of producing a page quickly for this issue? A few people (including myself) are behind where art is concerned and some haven't got back to me. Comment ASAP please…also would anyone be up to coloring cdmalcolms pages?

Posted at 2:03PM, Mar. 25, 2013

I'm happy to colour some pages. I've PQed you my email.

Hasn't AcTs been able to do page 7? Or still working on it?

Posted at 10:03AM, Mar. 28, 2013

AcTs cannot do the page, I think. genejoke is currently drawing the page.

Posted at 11:03PM, Mar. 28, 2013

I'm on it, part way through and hope to get more done tonight but realistically it'll be a bit longer. going through a lot, see rant section of main DD forums if interested.

Posted at 7:03PM, Mar. 29, 2013

Genejoke: Glad you're working on it! I really hope it's not an additional burden on you - just read your comment in the forums, and I'm really sorry.

Unfortunately, mind_reader cannot complete his pages due to some personal issues. Would anyone be able to stand in for his pages?
Also, I have contacted MrHades in terms of his pages and still got no reply…stand by for stand-ins on those pages too if he doesn't get back to me within around 2 weeks. Thanks guys.
