Families 02The second page of a new voting incentive storyline Families/Cемьи is now available!

I mentioned last update that I’ve been working on this for some time… I first drafted this page some 7-8
years ago! Very glad I finally got it drawn and finished because I’m sooooo happy with how it turned out if I do say so myself.

The Pravda newspaper headline says “HEROES!”.

Anyway, Red Vlad and Comrade Katya were well known in the U.S.S.R. and the West during the early days of the Magellan-verse… this is their story… the Russian Soviet superheroes who we’ve only ever previously seen in one very tragic panel…

This is a voting incentive which I will be serialising weekly over on Top Webcomics. I find these extras – apart from being a great opportunity for me to explore other corners of the Magellan sandbox – do help to raise readership of the comic so your vote would not only raise awareness of Magellan but would also be massively appreciated!

New update next Saturday… Kapitalist Pig!

Families 01The first page of a new voting incentive storyline Families/Cемьи is now available! It’s something I’ve been working with – off and on, mostly off – over the last seven or so years. And now it is finally seeing light of day! An origin story for Red Vlad and Comrade Katya… the Russian Soviet superheroes who we’ve only ever previously seen in one very tragic panel…

Despite their seemingly minor cameo to date, they do play a major role in the Magellanverse… and this is their story!

So yes, this is a voting incentive which I will be serialising weekly over on Top Webcomics. I find these extras – apart from being a great opportunity for me to explore other corners of the Magellan sandbox – do help to raise readership of the comic so your vote would not only raise awareness of Magellan but would also be massively appreciated!

New update next Saturday… Red Fever!

Parargdox starts January 2020

Beatrix Grainger and Bruce-93 now having a colourful bad day in Bad Karma.

Lo, there was much rejoicing because I finally have a buffer of completed pages! Admittedly it’s only two pages, and one of those is the cover… but I’m rejoicing. With some luck, I’ll have a few more pages in the buffer by the time the next Magellan chapter kicks off which will be Wednesday January 22, 2020. I’m very excited about this story and am planning on updating twice a week, Wednesdays and Sundays. With over 80 pages already drafted, I’m really hoping to keep to schedule providing there are no catastrophes.

I am also working on an incentive story, and it is pretty epic! While production is quite advanced (20 pages drafted) I want to spend a bit more time on it – to make it double-plus awesome – before I kick it off… so it’ll probably start from March 1.

Take THAT, To-Do List!

DONE!

I’ve been on a two week vacation from my day job… but that ends tomorrow. In between Christmas, New Years, visiting family and friends, heatwaves (45°C/113°F), terrible Sydney air quality, movies (latest Jumanji and Star Wars), Netflix (S2 Lost in Space, S4 Rick & Morty) and a visit to the dentist I’ve been busy, busy, busy on Magellan.

Firstly, can I just announce… THE CAST PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED!!! The link in the side-bar is now active but you can check it out here!

Other achievements…

  • Next story progress > 57 pages  (of 150??) drafted > cover & pages 1-7 drawn > cover being coloured > pages 1-4 lettered
  • Voting incentive story > 20 pages (of 60??)  drafted > soon to start drawing
  • Comics returning within a week or so: Olga & Brelvis/ Dr Spooky & Otto/ Olaf Mystery/ Legacy
  • Pages soon to return: About/ Gifford: Little Hero / Rochelle & Mindmistress
  • I know there’s more to add, including Fan Art and other miscellaneous stuff but I’ll focus on the above until I get to those.

All up, it has felt like a very productive yet relaxed vacation.

The goddamned cast page is doing my brain in…

The this goddamned cast page is doing my head in...

30 of some 150 entries…

Another quick post… I’ve been working on the cast page (still offline) for some days now. And it is a mother of a task. There are just over 150 entries – each with a pic, a first appearance link and a few vital stats… name, alias, powers, country/realm/planet of origin, relevant dates. I can only do it in one hour stints because it slowly starts to do my brain in.

Anyway, it is getting there but it is slow, slow going. I certainly want it online in time for the next story launch though… so, another three weeks then! Easy!! (Runs away sobbing)
