I'm excited to say that I just finished inking page 8 of Ellie Connelly, which is a milestone of sorts. In the greater scheme of the overall book, it seems like a very small amount of progress - 8 pages completed of 128 total = only 120 pages to go! woot! - but this first 8 pages is a more-or-less self-contained bit of action that serves as a simple introduction to the characters and their style of adventure. My plan was to finish these first 8 pages, color the first two (at least) and then start talking to publishers. Which means, I'm almost ready to begin Phase 2, which has me more than a little excited, let me tell you. The last couple things I need to do now are to draw a couple Hero shots for some of the other main characters (who have so far only really existed in my notebooks), and color those two pages. I also need to start thinking of a cover design or two...

Secondary to this plan, i'm going to continue coloring the first 8 pages, and then when finished with that I'll start posting the comic for all to read, starting with the entire first page as one big inaugural update! Don't worry, I'll be trumpeting to every corner of the intertubes when that happens.
