Okay, here it is! These are the first three pages of “Hockey, Love, & Guts.” Chapter 1 is about 14 pages long, and I’ve roughed all of them, now it’s just a matter of getting them to the level of these pages here. Of course, this is my first try doing it, so I’m sure changes will be made in the future, but this is the best first glimpse that I can show you, for now. Well, let the pages speak for themselves, and let’s continue this conversation in the comments. So, please comment and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

(Note: rated Pg-13 for strong language and adolescent themes. Also, Studio CATCH! is the name of my new production company… well at least the one for this comic… more on that later…)

I’m still not quite there yet, but I promise that very soon I will upload some comic pages. A few factors are preventing me from fully delving into that world, and while I could list all of them, I’ll say this: 1:  drawing with a tablet is NOT the same as drawing with a Cintiq; 2: developing a process for writing and drawing comics is still new to me; and 3: it takes a lot of patience to draw nice looking lines with a tablet. This is not to say procrastination doesn’t factor in, but I don’t know if I would constitute looking for a job and promoting my short film as procrastinating from doing comics… maybe, or maybe not. Either way, I’m still incredibly excited about the characters I’m developing and just storytelling in general.

So I’m getting close to uploading some rough comic pages, and while Kelly doesn’t appear until later in the story, I decided to introduce here. I’m hoping she’ll end up becoming another major character because she’s kinda made up from a combination of girls I knew back as an undergrad, and I think they left a certain influence over me – ironically, they were nothing more than acquaintances, but still, impressions are impressions I guess. She’s the strongest of the bunch, at about 6′ in height, and a laughter that is often condescending and yet contagious. Oh, and she likes fighting games too. You probably know who her favorite character is… Kikooooooouken!
