Week 8: February

Happy Thursday everyone :) Tomorrow is Friday! Sorry for the delayed post- this one was a little bit longer than the last ones!

This week, I selected a cover and that marks the end of my creative work on issue 1. The next step is to figure out the feedback groups for it- In this post today I'll be detailing exactly what the program will look like and I'll be going into what the work for issue 2 will be looking like as well, since that concept phase begins now. More on that below.

In line with the decision to avoid printing early on, I'm going to be sending digital copies out for feedback. I'm hoping this means a quicker turnaround for feedback to come back, but it's also a less costly solution, which makes sense for now.

Feedback for issue 1 is going to be pretty monumental, since I'm coming from a place of no experience and just a story I want to tell. For this reason, I'm looking for some feedback on a few key things:

1. Story flow & Pacing

2. Art:

3. Dialogue

The instructions will also be readily available in the feedback files I'll be sending, for those that will. If I want your feedback, I'll be reaching out to you soon with everything you need to know!

Moving on, here is what's up with Issue 2:

I'm finishing work on the next lore documents I need to develop concepts for the second issue. There are a few left, and then it'll just be artwork for the rest of the month, and parallel to that I'll be prepping more lore documents for March and maaybe getting ahead and doing some early work for issue 3. It depends greatly on how long it takes for my lore to turn into pictures and concepts! The good news about this concepting phase is I'm hoping to turn much of the art into lore posts for you all later on and share some more insight into New Parlay and the vast continent that is Sahar.

That's about all I've got in news. Thanks for tuning in this week! I'll have more art to share soon ;)
