I am excited to reveal the cover for issue #1 of Shadowblade, drawn by Christopher Lair. The Kickstarter will be launching July 2nd and will include numerous exclusives such as variant covers, an aluminum sheet metal cover, a glow in the dark cover, and a creator’s edition that highlights the entire process from script to final page.
After a few years of development hiatus while we worked on Dr. Saville’s Horror Show, I can finally announce that we have started work on our next big project, Shadowblade.
Shadowblade is going to be both a comic book series and a movie series and the coming weeks and months we will be sharing a behind the scenes look at the development of the project.
To get us started, here is a look at Kalli, one of our two lead protagonists in the series. This series of images shows the creative process from script to lettering. As the first issue is still in development, there may be minor changes to the lettering and coloring, but this shows the overall feel for the project. My writing partner, Kevin, is the colorist on the series and he has previously colored for Marvel on such franchises as X-Men and G.I. Joe.
