So...Here it is. The cover scan for one of my "titles". Generally, I create story outlines before drawing, but this one was special.


Sadly, the only scanner I have access to at the moment does legal size, so the sides were cut off. I will try to get a proper scan in the near future. The image itself is pencil, with minor inking. Once I get a proper scan, I plan on trying to add some finishing to it.

Inspired by a friend, the title is a psudo-historic adventure tale taking place at the end of the 16th century. The title would begin around 1580, and follow a dashing and charismatic sea-captain around the world. Accompanied by an inquisititve (and perhaps too smart for his own good) ferret, and her crew, Mita & Illert find themselves caught up in civil wars of Europe, jungle explorations in Brazil, and countless other adventures.

Synopsis: Anna Marita, and her faithful companion Illert get in and out of trouble in their search for the important things in life. This includes riches, niceties, but mostly…simply having fun.

"She stood tall, and proud upon the deck. A tri-corner hat tipped forward in a roguish angle above her brow. Her eyes were bright despite the shade, and an impish grin bespoke of unimaginable intentions. The sea air swept gently across the bow, blowing her auburn hair softly upon the breeze. The day was perfect. She was master of the deck, and queen of all she surveyed."

The meaning of silence.

Ok...So there's been a lot of dead air. But I have still been working (at least a little bit). Due to a number of personal events, the idea of digital publication will remain a pipe-dream. I am still fleshing out story arcs for a number of titles/characters, as well as working (very little) on a dream script for an Alpha Flight movie (property of Marvel Comics, but with the success of the Avengers, who knows). The current project consuming my creative time is research for a period piece, but more on that later. I will have a cover-design completed by the end of the month, and hope to have it scanned and posted no later than the 30th.
