A Happy New Year’s Eve!
Counting down to the end of 2010 and the start of 2011. A big thanks to all the usual suspects who contribute to this including Sean Harrington, Dion Hamill, Dean Juliette, Frankie Washington, Michael Bridges, Frank Kadar and Pasquale Qualano. (I really hope I haven’t missed anyone, please yell me if [...]

It’s a countdown now to 2011. Hope everyone has a very happy New Year! I’m very pleased to showcase the final page of the small project Lana I’ve been working with Sean Harrington. The final result was beyond my expectation especially with Sean’s pencils/layouts/colouring. The intent was for this to a “clip show” piece and [...]

Firstly Merry Christmas all! Wishing you and your families all the best during this festive period. This is the penultimate page (with the last page to come on New Year’s Eve). This is definitely the climax page (no pun intended) and there wasn’t really that much to write as it was mainly action sequences. I [...]

Action! Action!
Everyone loves action.
Only 2 more pages to go!
This page was actually very easy to write as there wasn’t much dialogue involved. I left a lot of the actual angles etc. to Sean as he can do a fantastic job with action sequences. I guess it depends on the artist on how much description to [...]

Unlike the initial pages, there is very little dialogue on this page. The backstory was already explained so I think it was important to get straight into the action. (FYI – The story was scripted for 8 pages so it’s time to build up to the climax!)
All completed pages will be collated in the below [...]

The letter here is more a foreshadow device that will link up the story in the end. As much as Lana’s cases are trivial and fun, they still have to make sense, right? I actually talked to the penciller Sean a little about of page, I love the way the sexy montage sequence turned out!
All [...]

Similar to Page 2, I was envisioning a similar layout especially for a webcomic. However if this was for print, I would do a mirror image (with the long panel on the right side) so when you opened Page 2 and 3, it would look reversed. In terms of story writing, I actively wanted to [...]

The second page of the collaboration with Sean Harrington. The page Sean did is absolutely perfect! (Hopefully my instructions made sense.) I was thinking of the best way to construct the page, to make it easiest to understand this was a “flashback” and still ground it in the conversation between Lana and the chief in [...]
