Just posted a new script. If the formatting is at all wonky, it's because I'm using OpenOffice now. With the new hard drive I no longer have MS Office, I don't seem to have the disks any more and I'm definitely not paying the hundred-whatever bucks to buy it again.
Anyway, this is a Blade short I did for an artist a while back. I rewrote the whole thing, it was pretty bad. Action scenes with 5 and 6 panels per page, and it was like eleven pages long.The story didn't even really start until page four. I kind of feel bad for the artist I did this for, I might look him up and send him the new version. I did do a second short (which I'll try and get touched up and posted tomorrow) for him that was much better, though.
I've had a bit of a rekindled interest in Blade lately. I think now would be a perfect time to see a new ongoing Blade series, possibly helmed by an upstart new writer? (Hint, hint, Marvel?)
Anyway, that's all I got for tonight.

Brief Update
It's kinda late (for me, because I'm old), but I really quickly wanted to mention some stuff.
So my hard drive broke. Like, it was apparent;y physically broken. And the only way to even get data off it now is to send it out to some hardcore lab where they have like hazmat suits and take it apart. Or something. I might be making that part up. Anyway, it doesn't work anymore, so I had to get a new one. I was without a computer for a whole weekend, it was like being in the middle ages.
My point being that I was planning on doing some serious writing, but was unable to. Luckily I've started backing up files on a thumb drive lately, so I have all my stuff, minus a couple outlines. Less luckily, I lost all my music, videos, and a ton of random stuff (I had like 200 recipes bookmarked, and now I'll never get to make any of them). Although it turns out that I never got around to removing any of the e-books I had on my Kindle, so those are all still there (including the Softest Shadow by Sloane, which you can find here, and which I highly recommend).
Anyway, the point of all this was that I wanted to get some short scripts up here, but haven't gotten around to it yet. It's been a kind of busy week, and it seems like it's only going to get busier as time goes on. I looked over a couple short Blade stories I wrote for an artist's portfolio what seems like ages ago. It's amazing how far I've come in just a couple years. I'd like to do some rewrites on those and post them, as soon as I can find the time.
So that's all. I'll try to get those scripts looking good (one's not too bad, the other is, well, a pretty big mess), and maybe if I can find a few minutes tomorrow I'll post some short reviews on the comics I picked up today (I almost didn't get Hickman & Dragotta's East of West and I'm really glad I did).
So, yeah... tired... bed...

New Script, Happy St. Paddy's Day!
New script here. I actually wrote this last year as a St Patrick's Day... thing. I sent it to Dark Horse a few months ago but never heard back. I really like the main character, and I feel like I could do a lot more with a character like that, a roguish leprechaun, causing trouble throughout Irish history. Anyway, I had him on my mind, what with the holiday coming around again, so I thought I'd pull him out and put him up here. The script is largely unchanged from the deviant art version.
I was watching with interest a discussion on Twitter today (instigated by Sloane) regarding the fact that artists tend to post a lot of sketches and such online, while writers don't usually have a lot up, and it inspired me to post something. I might go through some of my shorter scripts, make some revisions, and post them here. I've been pretty busy lately, trying to put together some pitches to have up my sleeve when I hit the conventions, and I've also been working a second job, so I haven't as much time for shorter, just-for-the-hell-of-it writing lately.
Since I'm updating, I got some logo options from Dylan Todd (here) for my comic imprint. They all look great, and I have the task of selecting one. I've been sent the thumbs for Lunatic Fringe, which is looking awesome so far, and Anonymous Nancy is about half done, plus the roughs for the other half. So that's where all that stands at the moment.
Anyway, that's all I got. Laterz.
