To put the plan into V/Z Plan perspective, I've completed the heavy drawing for various set pieces and sequences.
Now I can methodically polish and release. This week I'm doing 'admin' writing and making sure these episodes are narratively harmonious.
I'm currently planning my marketing run and doing some admin writing for the V/Zero Plan.
As well as creating content that can entertain you while I work on more :)
I'll still be uploading here, both free and premium comics during this ...
Versus has a really fun hybrid between naturalistic MMA and shonen manga pro wrestling.
Stumbled into this while designing H2H sequences so I'm working overtime to refine the experience. You can see the Toriyama DNA carried over from my sci-fi action art too.
Figured I'd assemble this as a 'side' to go with V/Zero's main course. <...

UPDATED: Spoilers omitted, drawings arranged in a better chronological sequence. This fight has an altered state in the final, but this way I can advertise a more accurate impression
There is still much to do, no end in sight

The scale unprecedented, the weapons incomparably advanced.
There's no going back after this...
Soon you will know the tides of the Headhunter and the Ocean's Great Waves.
Your briefing on the arsenal of aerospace craft and personal protection systems, as well as their logistical support profiles... Is being prepared as we speak
2024-07-18 15:10:59 +0000 UTC View PostIt's kinda like 'military sci-fi wuxia' - there's lots of duels/fights in contrast to to Full Metal Brat's firefights.
Both have sweeping battle scenes tho. Think Star Wars Prequels X Windtalkers X The Raid
Here's a more comprehensive look into what's in store for MTIO. Widen the scope, focus the plot.

These will appear in the next couple episodes. :)
2024-07-06 15:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostMy Time In ONI had a Spartan centric episode that I thought was pretty captivating. But digressed too much from the main story.
Berserk Forces is another story built from MTIO resources, within that narrative. It's Angelika's life story, from augmentation to after the war.
It's an adjacent narrative, a world within worlds, the cu...
Tournament Arc is the last one.
(I always work ahead) - there's still gunfights, vehicles and aliens in this one - but it's an epilogue too, so a lot of intensive writing/character work had to be done.
For context
Insurrection Arc
Covenant Occupied Space Arc
Civil War Arc
Berserk Forces Arc
Toku City Hunters Arc

This episode is my favorite, and I think it will be yours too.
2024-06-12 22:09:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe Episode Guide will be a document I can edit to reflect the current status of the story and characters.
It's superfluous, but allows the audience to engage with materials that otherwise would be left in my notes or drafts.
Worldbuilding, my creative intentions, bloopers, retcons, production sketches, etc.
"No plan survives first contact..."
Scaling back each episode into a deliverable experience has been tough... The hardest part really.
The trenches of Hildago, the desperate escape of the Razor Talons was the overture of my space opera, they wouldn't be here without these noticable flaws.
I'm catching up on sleep this week...

I'm a bit sleep deprived so I'll review and fix some stuff next weekend.
This space battle in Episode IV is the hardest grind I've ever faced in comics.
But the good news, is I had a breakthrough with drawing armoured characters and environments. Much more pleasant.
Hoping to get through IV and sprint!
