I'm very pleased to update that the inks completed on schedule! We've started on colours, and it's great to see this second volume come together! We get to see a lot more of the world of The Meadows, and learn more about what Porter's Whole Deal is. Here's a look at some of my favourite spreads that's aren't too spoilery.
THE IRON BARGE BOOK 2 PAGES 10-11
THE IRON BARGE BOOK 2 PAGES 16-17
THE IRON BARGE BOOK 2 PAGES 22-23
You can see we're planning out our cameo spots from the beginning now, since that was such a big hit in the kickstarter. We'll have speaking and walk-on roles a plenty for Book 2.
SYSTEMIC COMIC ANTHOLOGY
Our writer Norm Harper is in a comic anthology called Systemic Vol 1, currently funding on Kickstarter! They've already made their goal, but if you're a fan of classic sci-fi tackling social issues, you have 7 days left to check out the project!
COLOUR PROGRESS
I'm a few days into colouring now. My schedule is undergoing some changes, so I can't give a definitive date on when colours will be complete yet. The new routine has to set in and then I'll get a better picture. But we'll be sure to update in October on how things are looking! Here's some fun peeks at colours so far. A note that these colours haven't gone through editorial yet, so they're not final!
That's it for this month! As always, feel free to reach out to meor Normon bluesky with any thoughts or questions.
And don't forget to check outTHE IRON BARGE webcomic! We've been updating every week, and sharing a free way to read the comic with friends or on socials is a great way to help support our team right now
