Like Shady, I worry about you handling the pencils, lettering and coloring... that's a LOT to do! Then I see INKS too... Dean, you're going to kill yourself!! I love the pencils to colors look of the preview. Isn't that easier?
On the other hand, this series is Dean's visually... he makes the calls (with my sometimes-input which normally amounts to: That's Awesome!!) and I've thought they are all excellent ones.

Hey everyone! I've posted the cover, the inside cover and pages 1-5 of issue #1! I hope you like it!
Don't worry about me. I'll figure out a good way of working on this project and maintaining the rest of my RL! I'm hoping for actual regular updates, but I'm currently not quite yet that regimented.
Please let me know your thoughts on the new pages!
I know we had some concern about the talking-heads opening pages, but I think you made them so beautiful, like a calm before the storm, I don't find it a concern at all...
Colors are amazing, lettering is amazing... YOU are amazing. Thanks for making my script look perfect!

Candle, Lash, Thank you for the very kind compliments. I really enjoyed working on those pages.
I went ahead and did rough layouts for the rest of issue #1!
Let me tell you, pages 1 -5 ARE the calm before the storm. The action is coming!
Lash's script is fantastic, very well crafted.
The way it will work is, I will post the next 5 pages, then the next 5, then the next 6, for a total of 21 story pages, plus there will be a inside back cover and a back cover. Right now I don't want to commit to an actual deadline schedule, but I do want to get ahead, artwise, so there won't be a lag.
It was really fun sketching out all the characters and all the action. I'm sure I'll post sneak peek previews at some point.
Don't forget that the comic is on drunkduck.com as well. We have some pretty decent stats as far as I know and some nice comments. It's cuz it's a labor of love!

Is SSSSSSSS Mharva?! WOW! And I found The Elder. Very nice creative crossover on him. I LOVE the blue eyes on him.
Ronal is still a darlin', and I like Drey, too!
Poor Hoppa, it must be so hard being an insect in a mammal universe. sigh In MIB, the insects were automatically the bad guys of the universe! I hope she's up to the challenge!
So, everyone's fighting the Empire. Last time I went for something like that I met Han Solo! WoooHoooo!

Wow, Nighty! Thank you SO much, the site looks awesome!
Hmmm... how 'bout something like this:
THE PREVIEW
When Dean expressed interest in drawing STARSEARCHERS, he requested a short 5 or so page story. When I asked him what he wanted to draw, he said weird exotic locales and creatures. This was my challenge as a writer, so I came up with Overthink's little invention, which is a big deal because teleportation doesn't yet exist in the Starsearchers universe. This sequence will be worked into the series at some point. I think it turned out excellent and was particularly impressed by how Dean's mastery of coloring bypassed the need fot the pencils to need inks, as well as his usage of panels.
The Starsearchers are one team of about a jillion characters I made up and drew stories of as a kid.
I was fortunate that my windows paint images of the Starsearchers piqued the interest of Dean Lee, whose artwork I have long admired on legionworld.net. That interest led Dean to want to draw a short story...
It begins HERE! Dean has totally knocked himself OUT with this and I could NOT be prouder! I'm writing and Dean draws, colors and letters. Each issue will be 20 or so pages with additional yammerings by me and hot pinups by Dean. Enjoy the trip, why don't you?
