So what's going on?

So now that the Eternal Day preview book is completed and available from comixpress.com, we're confronted with the task of creating Chapter 2 and 3. It's a daunting task. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure how we even finished Chapter 1 (the preview book)! Between work, school and family life, any free time to draw or create artwork is very sparse.

Right now we're working on the script for the next two chapters. As we've said before, the preview book was meant to be an experimental approach to comic book storytelling. It was more about process than content. So now we're struggling with trying to tie Chapter 1 in with the other two chapters. There are a lot of elements in the preview book that simply don't make any sense and have no connection with the story we've developed! So it's a tricky, mentally draining process trying to tie all of these things together and having them make sense.

We've even thought of ditching the preview book and just creating a new story that has nothing to do with the events that transpired in it. It would still be the same characters, but it would be like none of the events from the preview book ever happened.

We also kind of jumped the gun a little bit by printing the preview edition. We should have had at least another Chapter finished and ready to print. Now the wait for the next chapters is going to be excruciatingly long. We hope it's not so long that people lose interest. But at least we have a printed book under our belts. If nothing else it was a warm-up for us. After all, I hadn't drawn a comic book in almost 10 years and even then I had never completed a book. I also hadn't drawn period for that same amount of time. So I'm rusty and crusty. There are a ton of flaws in the preview book, but like I said, we're just warming up.
