exciting sample page posted. this is effectively page 1 of the first issue and introduces gallowsman and anhilia with some story points coming on page 2.
feel pretty good about how this page turned out- the first one i've penciled and inked on my lightbox. sample page 2 is about a third penciled but on hiatus until uni work gets itself done.

the team (:icondgproject::iconlifeonthesofa::iconratchet24:) is working on a new comic called gallowsman. there's lots of scanning to do to get the concept art online but should be along soon. its mostly character pics/designs and we're working on a sample or sample pages. we've got h. peters doing the scripts as none of us are particularly gifted in the direction of dialogue.

"gallowsman is set on a planet-sized battle-arena, where the universe's greatest show is broadcast. non-stop warfare with the galaxy's greatest warriors, most prolific serial killers and twisted criminals, all armed to the teeth the biggest selection of death-dealing devices in history.
the gallowsman meets, among others, a demon girl (responsible for the deaths of millions - a celebrity in the battle-arenas) and a psychotic robot obsessed with becoming human (not in a good way either)."

ah i see. you're much luckier though you got another year ahead of you. its flown by far too quickly i'd love to do it all over again. i've only ot about four weeks left now to finish my film and then thats the end until the show. you should get some of your year to come along when the extra tickets are avalible off of adam. i went to last years show and it was awsome. i really hope everyone in my year manages to finish and get there films in it. should be good and i reckon you guys'd have fun .
