Hey hey! First post for 2007 and work for Pandora: A Death Jr. manga continues! Revisions on the thumbnails are done and so far I've made over 300 thumbnails (and counting) in the course of this project. The problem when you're both artist and writer for the same book is that you're often tempted to make little tweaks here and there. It's fairly easy to get overboard when you're enjoying the work a little too much as well. I suspect there would be at least 50 pages of sequential art that will be edited out of the story for print but will nonetheless end up as bonus material either online or in another form. But we'll have to wait and see how that develops.
I'm currently on my last leg of pencilling work and would soon be starting the inks. I'm pretty glad I decided not to ink the pages earlier. I realize now that a lot of the first few pages needs to be fixed or redrawn.
So far the book is coming out better than I have expected and I can't wait to get this done. I hope everybody will enjoy this little title when it comes out. I've tried my best to keep this as fun, exciting, and in continuity with the original material as much as possible. But don't let the continuity factor dissuade you at all. Pandora is a self-contained story with everything you need to know (plus all new material exclusive to this version only) so you don't need to have read the comic version to fully enjoy it. But if you want the extra dimension, I highly recommend picking up the trade paperback for Death Jr Vol1 and Vol2 from Image comics. You won't regret it!
Anyway, time for me to get back to work!
