Nemesis the Hunter's Mark Graphic Novel


My loyal believers, last week I announced Rommel Fabian had made a deal where he will be the co-artist on my book Nemesis Dawn of a Legend, which is going to be a prequel to my upcoming seven issue comic book miniseries Nemesis the Hunter's Mark where he is going to work here as the letterer. Shawn Milazzo will replace him on lettering duties for that book and I will be sending Fabian character designs and cover art while someone else will be doing the colours of the covers that I pencilled and inked. Julio Falkenhagen has nearly finished all of the pages, I am still waiting until I receive those pages to go through inks. As you know, the prequel should be collected together as a graphic novel and is going to be released hopefully in Summer or Autumn 2011. Nemesis the Hunter's Mark will be printed in paperback and be sold to newsagents and comic book retailers bi-monthly and collected into a hardback graphic novel format after the series has ended. I have a special project tied with this with Fabian shortly after.


I will be back next week for more news,


Later everyone,

Nemesis Dawn of a Legend e-book

Welcome back, it's been a busy start of the new year in January and I am here to keep you posted on what is going on with both projects within the next few weeks. Rommel Fabian (letterer) for the upcoming seven issue comic book series, Nemesis the Hunter's Mark, just confirmed he will be a guest artist for the prequel Nemesis Dawn of a Legend alongside myself and Shawn Milazzo who replaces Fabian in lettering duties. The colourist for this book has not been confirmed yet, but I will be quite busy sending Fabian designs for that after I finish with this series. I aim to have a Summer-Autumn 2011 release of the e-book later on this year. I will be handed the pencils from Julio Falkenhagen soon for this real soon. I hope to get back to you with the covers by next week. Also, I had an interview with Ota Otakiju about it, the article will be posted here.

In other news, I just finished shooting an extended clip of The Hardest to Survive today, photographs of behind the scenes will be on my Facebook group page. I plan to re-shoot clip 2 and possibly film clip 3 on 29th January 2011. I apologise for the lateness but that was due to Artefacts Edutainment shutting us out the way they did. I sorting out a meeting with Director Enrico Tessarin from New Treatment to lend a hand with the distribution and handling production of the actual footage. Hopefully I can sort this out in time so that Principal Photography should begin sometime in February. I have yet to receive any more updates on what is happening with the Artefacts organization, but we are definitely moving our studio, Ezee Media and Lil Dre studios, away from Artefacts over to another studio elsewhere.


Take care everyone,

The Nemesis issue 1

Fans, your commentator is here to bring you some much needed feedback on my forthcoming seven issue comic book series, Nemesis the Hunter's Mark. I am writing the story, braking it down in layouts and inking the pages while Julio Falkenhagen is doing his tight pencils, Kieron Boothe, graphic designer is doing colours and Rommel Fabian is lettering. Now that we got that clear and out of the way on who is credited on this piece, I will reveal the title of the first issue of this all new story arc. The issue will be called "The Fallen", a synopsis is posted below. Before I present you with all of my images down by a few artist's I would like to inform you a note: these pictures are the property of each artist, any information I give you maybe subject to change. Do not forward any links of this to anyone or to any third party without my permission.


Nemesis the Hunter's Mark#1



Part one of seven: The Fallen.


"Henry Jackson is haunted by nightmares and strange imaginings which pinpoint his deceased parents' situation the night they were killed in a fire in episodic flashbacks. Seven years earlier, he moved to Queens, New York with Uncle Phil and dated Maria Francisco whilst at Fordham University where he befriended Raphael Hagen and Ryan Mitchell, a rivalry developed between Jackson and Mitchell as Ryan fell in love with Maria, so much that he ends up doing one action that eventually causes a feud. Henry maybe forced to abandon his girlfriend and his life will never be the same again".



Well here are the images, these are preliminary sketches of the characters done by Julio and I with some concept art by Dean Richards who did the teaser cover of issue 1 above. Sadly, he does not have time to do other covers for many future issues, which is a shame, but there will be more cover art done by the whole creative team. Anyway, enough rambling, here are the pictures. Enjoy what you see:

That is all for now, I hope you enjoy the images. It took alot of teamwork and effort to produce somthing like this. Preview images of issue 1 will be released sometime this week, if you are a Facebook user, go on to a link for Facebook Groups and type in Nemesis the Hunter's Mark. Updates on the process will be made constantly each week. Invite your friends to join the social community and take part in any event that should arise, there will be nothing important coming up for now but a Press Release of the book has been in talks with interests and managers. I am about to start inking the magnificent Julio's art.



Thank you for your time

Episode Fourteen: End of the Line.

Everyone, this is the last issue of Nemesis Dawn of a Legend. Previously in Nemesis, Henry Jackson has found himself in a tight situation with Tucker, known as the gangster "T.K", tied him in a chair and was left helpless with Henry unable to access his powers. Tucker revealed to his prisoner two years ago in Boston, Massachusetts in a secret training facility and headquarters of The Commission when Henry was on the hunt for the assassins who attempted to kill his uncle, Phillip Jackson; Tucker's gang Cashmere had been outnumbered by entire Secret Service agents and killed off. Henry confronted the mastermind, Mr. Braddock, as the Shadow Man but was knocked unconscious by gas. Tucker felt betrayed as Cashmere was alone to deal with the attack, thus he stole information on Project Atlas via flash drive (a secret formula on synthetic skin) and used data about Henry against him. In an effort to stop Tucker, Henry transformed into his Shadow Man persona and used the smallest fraction of his power to cause an gas explosion: their current status is unknown.


The final issue of Nemesis Dawn of a Legend in the last part of The Dual Line saga ends this series here, the link to the script for issue 14 is down below.

New cover art will be added onto this blog soon... anyway, enjoy the finale. I will be back later to discuss what you thought about it what you can expect in volume 1.

For those who maybe thinking "how could the next installment be number 1, when we just read this?" I will explain. Nemesis Dawn of a Legend is a prequel to the main story called Nemesis the Hunter's Mark. What you have read in the past 8 months is just an experience, which means you just read volume 0. This web series is still canon but set years before the events of next series, I am hoping all of these pages will be collected into a graphic novel later on in the year. You have read the scripts, but would it be nice to see what goes on inside the actual pages before your hands. Well, that's what I'm sorting out. A creative team for this is being called, Shawn Milazzo is going to letter the series with me obviously written the story, doing tight pencils and inks but I will reveal who is doing the complete pencilling and colours in a few months.


See yah,

Nemesis the Hunter's update!!!


What's up everyone,

Here are some brief updates from me, Julio Falkenhagen (designer and co-artist) is half finished with pencils for issue 1 of the upcoming seven issue comic book series Nemesis the Hunter's Mark. It will not be long before I will be doing the inks, I can't wait. Plus I will be going over to a meeting sometime Monday to discuss about the pictures, but I promise these are really hyperactive stuff. I won't spoil too much of it, but the style relates to my art, very American comics/Japanese Manga feel to it. Released next Tuesday will be a teaser poster for issue 1, character sketches done by myself and Julio and some preview images. I will also release a synopsis for the first issue and brief summary of the overall storyline on that day. Issue 13 and 14 for Nemesis Dawn of a Legend has been handed to my editor, she is now going over the scripts. I apologise for the delay, for now I will just work on the other pictures.


Bye

Episode Thirteen: Scars that Haunt.

We have come so far, people and now Nemesis Dawn of a Legend is about to come to an end. Everyone, don't worry I have spoken to my fantastic editor, an intelligent, wonderful and very reasonable woman who has helped to edit these thrilling scripts for you. I congratulate the great Genevieve Ssentoogo for bringing me this far into the project. I am sure she agrees with me that issue 14 will be the right way to end this web series for good next week. The stakes have gone high in this chapter as Henry Jackson is in his last point in his test in order to fulfill his destiny and become the legend his father started.

Last issue, we saw Henry come back home to his flat after making sure his friends Raphael Hagen and Buena are safe. Waking up after a horrifying nightmare about the past, he discovered he received missed calls from Raphael, his uncle, Phil, plus one other message from an unknown caller. Henry stepped outside to visit his relative only to be taken down by thugs who had waited for him in their cars. He is kidnapped, drugged, beaten, lost an eye and has lost his ability to heal along with most of his powers due to being subjected to narcotics pumped directly into his bloodstream. Tucker, a former ally, revealed to be involved with this and had the gang Cashmere to bring him in his safe house. Powerless, Henry does not have any other choice but to give Tucker answers about a secret formula hidden in his memory stick.

The link to the source of the script is down below:
