A Somewhat Grand Revelation

Welcome!



We are in a gang. No, you cannot join.

I will have to start off by saying that this is a departure from what I am used to, as I am currently writing on behalf of two individuals.

First off, Dave and Tim will each be giving updates whenever either of them see fit. This will be tremendously exciting for you, since you may not know who precisely is talking to you this very moment!

Calm yourself.
Thank you.

Now, get excited again.
As some of you know, and others do not, we have been working (sometimes diligently) over the past two years on a graphic novel.
In January, we completed the first written draft of the first of three parts. We ended up with around 110 pages of dialogue. This of course, when panelled out, will likely translate into several hundred pages.

Where are we now?

The first draft was done entirely as a word document. Now, we are transferring/panelling each scene after editing, and will hopefully end up with a much more refined second draft in a few months, which we will then go back over with a comb so fine-toothed, you can't even see the teeth. Or the comb.

In short, we are still, after two years, in the preliminary stages of finalizing the first of three parts.
But I'm sure everyone has other questions...

Will I want to read it?

Yes. We are redefining 'epic'. This story is a monument to human achievement (somewhat self-referential), and at times will make your cranium erupt with joy.
This is also a story of loss and failure that will make Macbeth look like Tropic Thunder.

So, we would like to thank anyone who gave this page a once-over, and even though we are still a long way off from completion, Dave would like to share some early artwork to give you an idea of what kind of story we are creating, as well as how impressive the final product will be.
