30 discs are burned, CD print tests are done. Final package designs are in the works. (Final CD art is the one on the bottom)

Tomorrow I print the art on the rest of the discs and finish the package design.

Right now I’m working on a few pieces for it, and I have 25-30 more that I’d like to do. Its another one of those long term project. I gotta find models to take pics of and find some nice looking fake 6-shooters.

They still need tweaking. I might have to use different doors for all of them, and the text needs to show through more, but they’re in a place now that I don’t mind showing them to other people.

More to follow.

They are both rather sweet, one has a sort of Tarzan kind of feeling, and the other kind of reminds me of something from the Dark Tower, if Roland had been a caveman. San Diego is rapidly approaching. I’m hopefully going to make the little handout books this weekend. Woot!

There is still a lot of fine tuning and writing that need to be done before Comic Con. It looks like now if we do show anything to anyone at Con it will be just concept and some writing. My feeling is that we should self publish it or put it online for free.

I’m just not there yet. I did a whole bunch of different creepy male faces in this pad I made out of a bunch of scrap sheets of brown paper that we had lying around the office. I’ll take some pics of the pad when I get a chance, its pretty sweet. I’ll probably upload the rest of the faces at some point as well.

I recently read (listened to on audiobook) The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, and have been sketching out some DT characters and locations. We’ll see where it goes…

The following are two versions of Topeka.

Topeka_orig

Topeka_colored

Anyway I know I can’t draw all that well, but I’m enjoying doing it for the first time in a long time. In the last year I’ve had the pleasure of bumping into Barron Storey a couple of times, and some of the things he’s said made a big impression on me, and kind of got me thinking that maybe I should start drawing again. Sooo, here we go. Whee!

It is shaping up… the story so far.

These are the initial mixes for the first quarter of completed tracks. I have a bad tendency to call something done before it really is (my attention span is really short about things like that, and sometimes I move on to “B” before completing “A”), and I’m trying to hold off on these (hence draft 1).

Aphrodisia-Will in the Tower-Statue of Bodies-Voyeur

Carnivora-The Doc-Monsters on the ship-Druuna sleeps

Carnivora-Her Mind

Creatura-Druuna Led Through the Wasteland

I need to remember to update my to do list. More to follow…
