Still waiting on a colourist to offer their services to help with the mothership, irrev. I think I still have the design laying around somewhere.

Happy to help with that. Send it to me, along with any preferences for colour scheme. You have my email.

Will flats do or do you need shading et. al. as well?

EDIT: Or just drop the pictures in the Dropbox. Whichever is fine.

I'll send you the ship designs ASAP. I've just found them and need to alter one or two things beforehand. As for colours - I want The J'Saari and their ships/drones to always be pretty basic and similar. One: for practical reasons with our many artists, and Two: They're a stark contrast to the HA, who are all "fighting for something" instead of the J'Saaris very hivemind and robotic approach. So something similar to the drones? A purple-metallic tinge? Majority is up to you though.

Do you have a cover artist? I couldn't reliably offer to do a page but if you wanted me to do the cover I could?

Posted at 7:08AM, Aug. 22, 2017

I can do two pages!

Posted at 8:08AM, Aug. 22, 2017

Emailed you the designs last week irrev.

I've already done the cover Nepath, sorry!

It would be great if you did the cover for part II though. (Right, ironhand…?) Would be full circle for HA season 1 too, with your having done the very first one as well.

YEAH!!

okay, that would be cool. Let me know what needs to be on it and I will get it done.

Posted at 2:08PM, Aug. 23, 2017

Yes Nepath would be great to see another cover for you. As abt said - very fitting to have you as cover artist for the start and end of the season too! To be honest, I'll leave the ideas for cover down to you or whoever else want to suggest. Before you stepped in I was going to go for the "less is more" approach and just have Bombshells arm holding the HA communicator in her hand. But you might want to do something more specific to the story. Totally your call.

Can you give me a small clue what is happening in the second part that I could take from? Or if someone more involved perhaps wants to suggest something interesting from one of their pages?

Posted at 8:08PM, Aug. 24, 2017

Do we know what the timeframes are around these pages yet?

Specifically when will pages 13 and 16 be needed by? I'm trying to figure out if my page due dates clashe with NaNoWriMo. xD

(I can work with it if they do, I just need to know so I can plan).

I added the page assignments list to the first post in this thread and added rough publication dates. Keep in mind that I haven't received confirmations from several artists who are on this list that they will even do these pages… many of them never signed up to dropbox, which is an issue that has to be sorted out soon.

There's no script for it yet, as far as I'm aware. Ironhand, since you're the one writing this – do you have any other suggestions?

Posted at 1:09AM, Sep. 11, 2017

So.

The thing is, we don't have too many pages yet (only Hero's 7 and 8, plus a b/w cover), even though this chapter should start updating soon. I'm afraid I don't have the time right now to contact all the artists etc…. Help in gathering pages (and more artists for unassigned pages) would be much appreciated!

Posted at 9:09PM, Sep. 12, 2017

I'll be doing reworks of my pages much like I did for this issue. I'll have them done by this week.

Posted at 8:09PM, Sep. 13, 2017

Just uploaded Pg 18 and 22 now working on 23 and 24 :-)

Posted at 2:09AM, Sep. 14, 2017

I've just uploaded the reference pics for the J'Saari ships.

Sorry about the delay on this. Ironhand sent it to me like a month ago and it lived for weeks in my spam folder. -_-

Posted at 7:09PM, Sep. 14, 2017

Nice ship I wish I could use them I already drew the one from the cover.

Posted at 7:09PM, Sep. 15, 2017

Sorry. >_<

Your page looks great either way.

Posted at 7:09PM, Sep. 15, 2017

Awkward question that I need to ask to do my page: What's the timeframe of this issue with respect to Hurricane Harvey?

Are we still seeing flooding? Or flood damage?

EDIT: Aaargh! Are we waiting on me colouring the cover page!? Why did noone say!? I'll get onto that straight away!

Posted at 7:09PM, Sep. 16, 2017

Okay, I've dropped the coloured front page into the 'Working' folder. It just needs whatever title information and credits you want to slap over the top.

Sorry about the delay, hadn't realised this was waiting on me…

I think everyone understood with Harvey and such for the delay :)

Posted at 9:09AM, Sep. 20, 2017

No worries, irrevenant - I haven't been waiting for you specifically. Rather, I'm afraid we can expect loooooong delays during this chapter, given how few pages we have and how long ago the others should have been completed. And the longer the delays, the less interested people will be to contribute to HA…

I think we can disregard Harvey; there's no continuity requirement that the events on these pages are happening right now… and who knows what Houston is going to look like when the pages are up?

Posted at 5:09AM, Sep. 23, 2017

I'm going to get to work on my pages this week and after them will see if I can cover any more. I'd hate to see another issue plagued with delays. Does anyone have the contact details for some of the artists who aren't frequent users on the duck?
