My graphic novel demo!, My game Kingdom made into a graphic novel Options

[Lato]

As only a very few of you have been on RRR as long as me not many people know that I once made a game called Kingdom for XP. While I am updating Kingdom the game right now I thought I would share with you all a sneak peak at my masterpiece, Kingdom the graphic novel made after, and about my XP game Kingdom. Me and another artist have been working for over a year and a half on this and I just finished the demo to build up some hipe and get some feedback. Kingdom is the story of a soldier fighting his way through a bloody war. I won't say more as this is just a peak, I will update when complete. So enjoy and tell me what you think!

Ah first reply! Im glad you like it, I would say more about the story but its not done yet, only 85% complete, I actually waited a long time to put this demo out. Just wanted to show ppl I got some serious skills lol

Yeah I have a eye for talented ppl, she is amazing! I'm even hiring her for one of my other projects. The voice really adds that special element to the story, it's like its all fresh in my mind again and Im feeling the creative juices flowing again. Im really glad so many ppl are liking it so far.

Bump Hey i'd really like to get some more feedback about my work, so far it's all been good but only a few ppl have really told me what they think. Is it interesting, dull?

I remember looking at this back in November, and it has the appearance of a very emotionally mature story. =]
When do you expect to release an update?

Aw why thank you, well the story has has had about 5-6 years to grow and mature. Also some parts are more...adult lvl so im not really sure what the rating will be. As for an update im not really sure, if it was a webcomic I could update it pretty easy but this is a traditional graphic novel that I will be publishing, self publishing if needs be which will suck but it is my first professional project to the art world.


Seeing as it's going to be sold I cant really update it by adding more pages however as far as a completion update there is only about 18-20 more pages left to do so its about 87% done. I might even give away a free digital copy for a contest prize here since it did start out as a game.

Ah, I meant an update as to when you expect it to be released. Sorry, bourbon is great during the holidays... but I seem to think faster than I type when having too much of it. =]

87% is a good percentage to be at! =D
How often do you work on it?

Ah ok, well im hoping to have it done by june next year, but well see, the thing that takes so much time is I send the pages off to be corrected/touched up by another artist and that can take awhile depending on the page. As far as released I have no idea but will be very active in getting it done, I don't know much about the costs of releasing copys so that will probly take some time since im in between jobs atm. I work on it a few times a week, just long enough to finish the next page and send it off.

[X-M-O]

Ah, excellent. ^^
I look forward to it (hopefully June). =D

[Nanashi]

I hope the release is early next year and progress stays steady on it. You've put a lot of energy and time into the game and the novel, so I expect it to do great.

Well the crazy thing is this is my first attempt at making a graphic novel, and it just came to me one day to do it, that was over a year and a half ago and the work on it has been steady/nonstop which i think is kinda crazy since this is the biggest project by far ive done. I really think it will do great as long as I get the business side of it done right, but that requires a but of money so well see.

After seeing that you've got me interested.
And from a marketing perspective alone that was a great idea (not suggesting you did these merely for commercial gain, but there's certainly a correlation between the fanbases of the two mediums)

Well im glad you liked it, it is a teaser isn't it lol. But I was looking for a way to show ppl what I have been doing and market it in a way, im not sure what the best way to do that is but I still have some time to throw around some ideas, I really just wanna print it into a book but I might sell digital to. I actually am looking for some commercial gain now, when I started doing the novel I had a great job but fell on hard times and no job now so it would be nice to make some money off it so I can afford to do another novel, I have an idea thats even better I think, but I pretty much spent all my savings doing this one so well have to see.

The novel is still going strong, maybe even a bit ahead of schedule, I think the actual pages will be doing in maybe 2-3 months tops! but then I need to do final edits which will be a few weeks. Any good ideas on how I should market/sell it?

After almost 2 years of work, Kingdom the graphic novel is finally ready to be printed! The pages are done and with the funding from Kickstarter I hope to be making them into books next month! So take a look and tell me what you think guys.

Update/ Bump

Ok not sure where to begin, Kingdom graphic novel has been almost 2 years in the making, it has recently been completed! It is my creative masterpiece, my dream made into reality. I am trying to get it funded now to actually publish it and it is going well. If any of you are new to this Kingdom graphic novel is a very deep/artistic view of the Kingdom game, it shows a more detailed version of the story and is just beautiful. It's over 100 pages long and for my first graphic novel I couldn't be more proud. i'm also including a fresh link.

IF the funding continues to go well I will be hosting contests on RRR for a free copy of Kingdom graphic novel and even a free copy of Kingdom RPG. This is one of the many ways I give back to RRR and set the standard as the Art Staff.

That looks surprisingly nifty, but do you ever explain why Havoc is grey? I mean he's not 50 shades of Grey but he's still randomly grey.

Thank you, there are a few reasons why havoc is grey, one is because hes a auxiliary soldier and not a true Roman. Also it's a artistic choice, he is neither good or evil, he is the grey in-between.
