Dark Red: Something Beginning With 'A'

2nd March 2007

Hey everyone,

Once in a while things go so wrong you get to the place where you want to scream. I think Sarah's hit that place. And the things you scream at that point aren't really planned. Cue a bright, shiny, beautiful, cute, gothic, stranger. And enjoy!

It's been a hectic week for Dark Red we've just joined Photowebcomics. So click on the new button on the side menu, vote for us, add a review and give us loads of stars. The site has also been tweaked by my web guy so it's more efficient and he's added a new gallery for all the behind the scenes stuff. There is a link to it in the side menu but I didn't want you to have to reach that far.

This week is the week for decision making in regards to Dark Red. I've been getting some feedback, which is letting me know that my art is going in the right direction. It's reassuring, I'm new to art and instinct can only take you so far. I've talked to my web guy and at some point we'll be adding in the scripts for the Dark Red pages so that visually impaired people can read the comic too. I'll need to tweak the scripts slightly for this, at the moment they're full of directions to the letterer.

Speaking of the letterer, Jo and I are having our first big meeting for Dark Red on Saturday. We're going to be looking at the scripts for after Issue #1. Dark Red wasn't written as a webcomic. So we'll be tweaking the plot somewhat to adjust things for this new medium. We're also going to be planning little graphic novels for you guys to enjoy now and then. Have a great weekend!

Cheers,

Lynn
