New Covers and Breaking Story!!!




Above are two covers for Nemesis Dawn of a Legend #1 and #2, on the top shows The Nemesis seen for the first time and the bottom is Henry in an Afro escaping in the wilderness of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. I have great news for you people who still are looking forward to my short film that is coming out, The Hardest to Survive, today I am having a meeting with some advisors to book more auditions very soon. Not only that, but test shoots begin this October 9th next week Saturday. This will be a teaser and the video clip will not only show two of the best actors who are portraying Nate and Remo, but it will be shot at the same location where producers filmed the last episode of The Bill. Richard Okeffe and Nicky Marshall will play Nate and Remo respectively. Just before I crack on, I have a synopsis for the eighth issue of Nemesis Dawn of a Legend below.





Nemesis Dawn of a Legend#8




A Blank Slate part 4 of 6: Blood and Bullets.


"On a mission to find out his true destiny through an unrevealed totem, Henry Jackson continues his training with his master, Jung Kwan, only to unwittingly give up on his duties and go on a quiet killing spree. During a crazy act of justice on the scum of New York, he finds himself chased by the authorities. If that is not enough he meets a questionable ally who has dangerous connections to the very pests who got his father on the wrong side of the law. With the police getting close on his heels, caught right in the middle of a supermarket, Henry must decide whether to go along with this stranger and escape or just act on his own will. Who is this person and can he really trust him? Is Henry at all safe with the company this guy keeps? Does this guy have some agenda under his bandanna or what? A Blank Slate saga rages on with part 4"


Hope you all loved issue 7, as you know, issue 8 will be posted on Friday's as usual. Speaking of that day Smallville the new season has just hit the USA. The first episode was sweet, those people really pulled their weight with the whole Clark nearly becoming Superman, the Boy Scout we all know. I remember starting to watch it when it first came out. I was about eight, good times. You will enjoy the next couple of issues to come, I haven't started writing the next issues after 8 yet but in the next couple issues after this, you will be surprised at the result during the conclusion of this second arc. Beware of this one for those who don't want to know what is to come. SPOILER ALERT!!! Issue 9 will see Henry on the hunt for one of the assassins and is hot on the trail while Issue 10 introduces a main villian of this story, which springs into a major battle royal and there will be blood.


Later everyone,

Episode Seven: The Yin and Yang.

Fans, I bring to you the issue that you have all been waiting for, my third part of "A Blank Slate" saga called "The Yin and Yang". Last issue, Henry ran away free through a bank heist by shooting a police officer who happened to be on patrol in cold blood. However, is he really dead? There is some twists and turns going on in this second arc from a couple issues back in number 5. Henry finds his father's stashed fortune and bought an apartment with some decorations added in his base of operations. Now aware of what he's capable of, Henry wears the suit his father fitted as the classy, super-powered, assassin called the Shadow Man. Though, it appears he has given in to the dark side. As the title of the episode suggests, this is his journey into enlightenment. I don't want to spoil too much but now he's getting used to his identity he is seeking a way to find out how to control himself.







Here's a sample of the script for issue 7 down below:

I will post issue 8 next week Friday 1st October and post cover art for issue 1 and 2, both have now been inked, scanned and ready for colour. I will release both of them on Wednesday together. Plus the flash animation will have to wait because I have not sent any more pictures to Jstaarz yet because I have been so busy concentrating on all three covers. I promise that once I've finished with getting those images done, he will send me a link to post on my page. The synopsis for issue 8 will be posted the same time as the first two covers are being shown. The eighth issue will be called "Blood and Bullets", which features a new supporting character who is going to be a vital idealist that is going to shape Henry's future.

New Updates!!

Fans, I'm here to discuss the situation with Nemesis Dawn of a Legend and other material that I plan to release by the end of this year. The cover art for issue 1 and 2 are nearly complete, they will come out sometime next week after issue 7 is released. I apologise for the wait, but issue 7 is going to be scheduled on 24th September 2010. This is due to a delay of edits on the script, at the moment, cover art for both issue 7 and 8 is now in thumbnails. However, the actual story in the comic book script has been written. Issue 8 will be posted on this blog with artwork next Friday on 1st October. Okay, that part is now cleared up.

I have received some confirmation for the auditions on The Hardest to Survive, of all leading roles and extras will be after September 29th 2010. As usual, the centre where the auditions is based is in The Albany, Douglas Way, Deptford, London SE8 4AG. I will let you know what times it will be, in fact, I should be having a meeting with them sometime tommorow. As for the T-Shirts, apparently, I'm going to have to find someone else to fund the promotion. I believe production will be shifted from the hands of my distributors who have been working on financing the product. The fact is I was hoping that the promotion would start at least in the summer, but since term is now autumn, they have not been very reliable. This means I am cutting a few ties with those who were supposed to fund the project and going to someone else. I am having meetings in order go forward so T-Shirts promotion and the film is still given the go ahead, it will just take some time.

Apart from that, I have sent Jstaarz more pictures for the flash animation, which should be right on it's way. I have also given him some mp3 files with the soundtrack. More pictures will be added with the Bios page as soon as possible. Hope you all settled down this Autumn and Kbon is working on the review for Prototype the game real soon over at Kbon Reviews.




Later everyone

Coming Next Week!!!

First day back was a drag, but it is alright. I hope my studies get better, anyway, I didn't come here to talk about my studies. I came here to let you know I have a brief run down on what's going to happen on Nemesis Dawn of a Legend issue 7 part 3 of "A Blank Slate". Now, by rights I should be studying but I thought I'd let you in for a treat before I get back to my work. Next Friday is when the issue comes out along with issue 8 the week after that. At the moment, the script is being sorted out and I haven't done sketches for the cover art yet cause I got issue 1 and 2 done as thumbnails and not finishes. I'll give you a deal, I will finish off the pencils for the first two covers and ink them by this weekend and post them just before issue 8 comes. That way, you don't have to wait long and I can get on with what is important, namely, my studies. Here is the summary below.




Nemesis Dawn of a Legend#7





A Blank Slate part 3 of 6: The Yin and Yang.




"Shooting a police officer during a bank heist, Henry Jackson gets even more deeper into his father's world of murder and deception. Meanwhile, as his mind gets clouded with lack of judgement, he seeks guidance from a Korean martial artist in China Town. Jung Kwan invites him inside the sanctuary and trains him in both Karate and Kendo, using the swordsman teachings and stratagem from Miyamoto Musashi as his Bible. It seems Henry must apply some of his own techniques from wartime's and learn the arts plus all five elements of water, air, earth, fire and void in order to earn his totem. Can Henry use this process to calm the beast inside him? Will he be ready? What does this symbol mean for the rest of his whole life? The Third part of "A Blank Slate" shakes the balance."



I have sent Jstaarz storyboards for the flash animation, so he should be working on them probably this weekend. I am sending him pictures for that also. That will be on the Bios page, I'm going to add more sketches on that section. In fact, I got three more pictures to sort out, but the two I have done should be uploaded on their sometime this weekend. I got a lot of work to do, so I best get to it and back on my studies. Also, I forgot to mention Kbon at his site is going to review Prototype the game definitely next week and the film Inception some time in October.

Peace,

Brand New Term!!!



Hey peeps,

I'm here again to present to you all recent news that have come up, as you can see I have put up another new film poster for The Hardest to Survive film. This, however, is just a preview and is not the final product. Auditions will be on the 15th September 2010 and this marks a third session as of this year. We are still looking for three more leading roles, side characters and extras. I will list them at the end of this page. The promotion for that is slowly but surely coming along.

Anyway, I hope you all liked Brice's music video. The crew including myself have put some work into this. Releasing next week is two covers for Nemesis Dawn of a Legend #1 and #2 plus a flash animation by J Staarz based on my design on the Bios page. There will also be some more pictures on that section pretty soon, I just did some artwork for them last week, but I got two pictures more as well. Since I just started back at college, it may keep me back, I will try to get them out early enough. Also, the synopsis for #7 will be posted sometime then.

Otherwise, here are the lists of characters for The Hardest to Survive available:

Leading roles:

Trey - (16 years old) Black Carribean. A student and ex-gang member who goes striaght, he is an old friend of Remo.

Shanna - (17 years old) Black Carribean, First cousin to Remo, she is Trey's love interest and relative by proxy to Malachi.

Malachi - (17 years age) A notorious gang member involved with the Rago posse who usually justifies the ends from the means.

Side Characters:

Raheem - A basketball player, he is friends with both Nate and Remo.

Shawn - He is the older brother of Raheem who ends up being the victim.

Lee - Gang member of Rago posse and Malachi's right hand man.

Anish - Asian (14 years age), the boisterous and rowdiest member of the Rago posse, he is a drug dealer.

Deveran - A mysterious (19 years age) Columbian assassin best at what he does.

That's really it for now, thank you for reading and I hope all of you out there have had a great summer. I can't believe it ended so quickly.
