Mythica issue 1 pg 22 sneak peek
Before i get into the exciting news of Mythica’s debut I wanted to give you a sneak peek at the last page of issue #1. Who’s boots are those do you think? Okay onto the news.
The first issue of Mythica is finished and is at the printers right now. After many, many test prints i think we have finally been able to get a result that looks like the original digital pages you see here on the website.
Through this process i have learned a lot about how many different print results you can get from different printers with the same exact file. I also learned that unless you are doing a MASS quantity of prints (like over 10,000) digital printing that captures all the illustrious colors of RGB just isn’t available at an affordable price. So, that leaves CMYK. As some of you may know there just isn’t the same color range availabe in CMYK as there is in RGB. A highly saturated red in RGB can become pink in CMYK. So when i found out that i needed to convert all of my pages to CMYK you can imagine the frustrations that followed as i watched everything change. However, after a few adjustment and test prints we have it looking good and i am excited to be taking it to the Image Comics Expo in Oakland, Ca next weekend.
Also, I am really excited to start showing you pages from issue #2 but you are going to have to wait for a teeny bit longer. I will post some sneak peeks and concept art but i want to get a few pages ahead before i start posting.
This journey has been really exciting for me. As many of you know, it has been a labor of love a long time coming and it is really cool to finally see it coming to fruition. What is even cooler to me is having so many of you be a part of the process. Having your feedback and input as I post each Monday has really been inspiring and kept things moving. I can’t say thank you enough.
Also, I have to say just how truly blessed I feel I have been. It seems that God has reached down and helped at every turn. Every time I reached a roadblock, someone arrived just in time to help. Each person involved in this project has been a blessing. Whenever I have a brainstorming session with William Tooker I get so damn excited that i am exhausted afterwards. I never imagined that working with another writer on this would work out so well. I mean, when you have a vision and then try and explain it to someone else so THEY can takeover the writing duties you are basically putting your baby in their hands. It was something I was skeptical about to be sure but now i can’t imagine doing this project without him. Thank you Will and thank you McLain, Kimberly and every single person who has supported me and supported Mythica. I look forward to keeping this going until the whole story is told.
