Moving closer to printing my graphic novel

by ~mlpeters, Mar 20, 2013, 10:27:12 PM
Journals / Personal

With some advice from friends, I finally have the production work on my cover, for my graphic novel, CRESCENT CITY MAGICK, done. Now, I'm writing my author's preface... digging out some sketches and photocopies of pencils before inking, for the back-matter. I expect to have the Graphic novel in print, late spring, or summer...

In other news, I'm working on a couple of superhero commissions and a new mythological piece, which I plan to have ready, to sell as a print, by Motor City Comic Con, this May....

~ricardoafranco Oct 7, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

excelent works!

~mladen Sep 12, 2011

hello sir! Very impressed with your comic art, its a breathe of professionalism on deviant art. Your work reminds me a lot of Michael Zulli, or even of Bernie Wrightson. I very much admire your attention to detail and sense of pacing on the page.

What are your plans for printing crescent magic?

~mlpeters Sep 10, 2012 Professional General Artist

Sorry for the extremely late reply. Had horrible dial-up for a while. Thank you for your compliments! I do admire and have met, both Michael Zulli and Bernie Wrightson and many other artist.
Currently, I'm writing and drawing a second story arc for CRESCENT CITY MAGICK. Due to the changing market and the limitations of the current creator-owned publishers, I'm plannign on publishing CCM as a graphic novel, perhaps as a series of graphic novels. The first arc, of four issue/chapters added up to 88 pages, which is small for a GN, so I'm doing a second arc, now, and plan both to be packeaged together. Whether I'll find a good publisher to work with, or self-publish, is still in question.
Thank you for your interest.

Oops - - missed that I'd already replied, ages ago.. well... consider it an update - - and again, Thanks!

~mlpeters Sep 13, 2011 Professional General Artist

Thanks! I'm a big fan of both Zulli and Wrightson.

As for CRESCENT CITY MAGICK... it's an open question. I've been submitting to publishers, some have replied (with the sort of bland negative response that makes one wonder if they even looked at it...) and some, I'm still waiting on... An acquaintance who self-publishes offered to help, but now seems to have his hands full, with his own book.

~mladen Sep 15, 2011

I hope you have luck with it, would love to read it someday.

~mlpeters Sep 15, 2011 Professional General Artist

If worst comes... I'll put the fully lettered version up on a webcomic site, where anyone can read it. I have friends who have done that, followed by a P.O.D collection. I'll have to bend their ear to figure out the details. Thanks for wishing me luck - - I might get to talk in person with publishers soon, at Detroit Fanfare.

Your work is awesome. Love the linework and the old prints inking style. Reminds of great masters of old and their illustrations of some of my childhood preferred readings such as Verne, Salgari and Burroughs.

~mlpeters Sep 8, 2011 Professional General Artist

Thanks, Tom! I'm a huge fan of old-time illustrators and learned a lot studying their techniques.
