Rhet: Source: More concept work

syn.pro — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:07:09 +0000

Tony sent over a couple more polished images for the San Diego book. 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!

Tony sent over a few more images today!

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 finished the script for the first Rhet sequential about a week ago. Tony just sent over the first page of pencils for me to look at.

I had a couple of minor suggestions, but overall I think they look amazing!

The two of us are putting together a little promo book for San Diego Comic Con this year. It will contain some of Tony’s art and some of my writing about Rhet. If we have the time it will also have the first sequential Rhet story ever!!!

I can see a one off story about an old nomad dying for his sheep in Rhet’s future.

Rhet: Source: The Idea

So a while back (October 2006) I started working on this idea for a caveman story, called Rhet. Rhet is the name of the main character.

I started filling up a notebook of ideas for Rhet stories, timelines, character descriptions, small doodles of ideas barely visible in my brain. The notebook is almost full and I’ve emptied out everything that I had immediately in my head into the book. So I guess it is time to start writing the actual stories now.

I’ve been having a little trouble actually starting. Every time I try to script something I get this burning sensation in my stomach. Its a little strange. I got the sensation when I first started writing out ideas for Rhet. It was like the heat finally burst out, and I was finally able to write down everything, and everything came out all at once.

So for now, I’m waiting for this new warm bubble to burst.

I’ve already posted some of this to myself, but I just looked at the whole thing again, and need to have the whole thing I think.

Dry Valleys of Antarctica.

I don’t have any info about this pic. Found it on Dark Roasted Blend.

Sure would be a great image to adapt into one of the later covers.

Man hibernates for 3 weeks

From the old site.

TOKYO (AP) – A man who went missing in western Japan survived in near-freezing weather without food and water for over three weeks by falling into a state similar to hibernation, doctors said.

Mitsutaka Uchikoshi had almost no pulse, his organs had all but shut down and his body temperature was 71 degrees Fahrenheit or about 21.6 Celsius when he was discovered on Rokko mountain in late October, said doctors who treated him at the nearby Kobe City General Hospital. He had been missing for 24 days.

“On the second day, the sun was out, I was in a field, and I felt very comfortable. That’s my last memory,” Uchikoshi, 35, told reporters Tuesday before returning home from hospital. “I must have fallen asleep after that.”

Doctors believe Uchikoshi, a city official from neighbouring Nishinomiya who was visiting the mountain for a barbecue party, tripped and later lost consciousness in a remote mountainous area.

His body temperature soon plunged as he lay in 10-degree Celsius weather, greatly slowing down his metabolism.

“(Uchikoshi) fell into a state similar to hibernation and many of his organs slowed, but his brain was protected,” said Dr. Shinichi Sato, head of the hospital’s emergency unit. “I believe his brain capacity has recovered 100 per cent. ”

Uchikoshi was treated for severe hypothermia, multiple organ failure and blood loss from his fall, but was unlikely to experience any lasting ill effects, Sato said.

Doctors were still uncertain how exactly Uchikoshi survived for weeks with his metabolism almost at a standstill.

In animals like squirrels or bears, hibernation reduces the amount of oxygen that cells need to survive, protecting the brain and other organs from damage.
