Behind the scenes (2)

Ten days til launch!

Today’s preview takes you to the very heart of the circus-ring, where the audience is held captive by the performance of the fearless fire-eater. The circus itself, and some of the performers, are of significant importance in the first chapter – though we do intend to zoom out on the setting to give you proper context.

This page was iteration 2 of uh, several. We went through some pretty severe redesigns to get the look and feel of the characters and settings right – we’ll happily take you through those redesigns at a later stage, because Rudy and I decided we want to do more “behind the scenes”-stuff in these blog-posts even when the comic itself is in full swing.

We’ve got a different kind of tour planned for the next update, check back in soon!

If you pause your music and place your ear real close to your screen, you might just be able to hear Rudy and me, toiling away without rest. This is also why our comic may, on occasion, faintly smell like blood, sweat and/or tears.

But who are we, and what are we trying to do here? I promised you a comic, but what’s it all about? Well – to sort of answer those questions, I’ve added an “About Us”-page. But seeing as how we may just delete these pre-launch pages at some point, I guess I can answer a little bit more.

I am Richard, Rudy is a good friend and former college roommate of mine. He draws the pictures for you to enjoy, I then pollute those pictures with words. In the fullness of time I’m hoping you’ll come to think of us as your welcoming hosts, and we’ll likely post more stuff so you can get to know us some more.

Of course, it’s possible that you’re just here for the comic, which is fine! In this comic we want to take you to a world where life evolved much like on Earth, but due to circumstances, this world has a far larger amount of water on the surface than ours. Due to its scarcity, fertile land is ridiculously valuable, but people have grown greatly – even somewhat comfortably – accustomed to life on the ocean-surface.

We could tell you more and of course we will. But not today. Come back the day after tomorrow, we’ll be here. For now, please use the above snippet of one Rudy’s storyboards to tide you over! That is one particular character we’ll be very happy to introduce you to.

Welcome to the Show!

“Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of (mostly) all ages, you are hereby cordially invited to the grand opening of the WaterFront on July the 1st!

Come one, come all! Gaze in awe at the marvels we have in store for you! Recoil in shock at the horrors we barely manage to keep contained! Do not venture alone, bring a friend!”

So, hello and welcome to WaterFront, our comic! Please keep an eye on this page and check back regularly for updates. For now, we plan to post little teasers every other day while backstage, we’re rushing to get things ready for the launch.

If it feels like we’re dropping on you out of the blue without much ceremony or explanation, we’re sorry and you’re right, but we’re fans of “show, don’t tell”. So… bye!

 

–Richard and Rudy
