Well I have done mockup for the new chapter #1 of the Beyond the Great Chimney graphic novel. Working from some feedback I got from my peers I have re-worked it. So far I feel like it is going in the right direction, but I am waiting till I finish the mockup of Chapter #2 before I show it to anyone. The voice changes a bit from each one and I want to see if they work together. Chapter 1 has a “once upon a time” narration, but then breaks into actual scenes that are out side of the story being told. This small image below is the page where 3 travelers stop to ask directions and meet Victor (age 8) and his mother.
Chapter 2 is about 1/4 of the way done in the manuscript form. The story picks up 25 years later as we find Victor Grassroot talking to his Grandfather (just a voice, we don’t see him till later). This scene sets up who our hero is and his close relationship to his uncle.
This material might change by the final story. Once I finish the manuscript I will begin on the final are for the first two chapters. I hope to post finished pages for you all to read when I am further along.
