Creating a Graphic Novel : Art – Food – Photography

It’s here!! Holding the printed copy (even a draft) is in an incredible feeling. Another amazing print job from Comic Books On Demand. (Thanks Doug!) Some minor tweaks and adjustments before getting set for a full print run.

A lot can happen in a few weeks. It’s definitely been a crazy time. 5 Seconds Volume 2 has been edited and almost ready to print. I love this point of a project where everything is falling into place and I’m excited for everyone to finally be able to read the story.

5 Seconds is a “slice of life” story with a little time twist. It’s interesting to craft a tale with flashbacks and future sight and mould it into a cohesive story. (There were a lot of rewrites involved!)

The completed drawn in page for 5 Seconds Volume 2! I’m so happy to be able to include so many supporters into this page. There’s a good mix of new faces and some familiar faces.

More sketch rewards from 5 Seconds Volume 2 Kickstarter have been finished by P.R. Dedelis! The works are still being lettered. After that, it will be to the graphic designer to lay it out ready for printing.

Things are progressing nicely on after the 5 Seconds Volume 2 Kickstarter finished. The monies from the Kickstarter has come through which will be used for paying for the first print run. Still doing some tidy up on the script before lettering powers ahead. In mean time, this is one the rewards sketches that one of the backers will receive!

5 Seconds Volume 2 Kickstarter is NOW finished at 160 backers and $3920 raised! I was planning to do this update over the weekend but decided after a long campaign, some rest was in order. A Kickstarter is a lot more effort to run that you would anticipate!

So what happens now? I’ll get the requests in for the background characters, finalise some of the dialogue and then it’s getting ready for the first print run. I’m really looking forward to getting the second volume out of the door. This is the first sequel to any of my works. Can’t wait to get the final volume of the 5 Seconds trilogy done as well.

Although we didn’t break the $4000 stretch goal (so so close), I’m still going to get this amazing print for FREE for all backers on $50+ or more. I had to use Eric Gravel‘s artwork for this project!

5 Seconds Volume 2 Kickstarter is NOW funded! I’m so excited to finally be able to announce the stretch goals on this project. Let’s keeping pushing this campaign along and see where we end up.
