Runners: The Big Snow Job just got a great review on Ain’t It Cool News! I’ve been sending preview copies of the story out to review sites with the intention of including some pull quotes in the printed volume, and this review was just posted. Check it out!

In other news, the 6-page epilogue is now completely inked and I will be coloring and lettering it in the next week or two. If I didn’t mention it before, it will be exclusive to the printed graphic novel as a little bonus thank you to everyone dropping their hard-earned benjamins for the printed book. Do people still say, “benjamins?”

A couple weeks ago, I scripted the all-new epilogue for The Big Snow Job. Looks like it will be 6 pages, of which I now have the first 3 penciled. I plan to pencil the other 3 and ink all 6 this week. Hopefully, by the end of next week, it will all be colored and lettered.

Hardcover Graphic Novels?

Ugh. It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Sorry, all. It’s been a very long second half of 2011, between buying and selling a house, moving, and then moving in with my parents for the past 3 months to help with medical issues. Anyway, in between the freelance work and all that other stuff, I’m still working on getting the new graphic novel printed.

Along those lines, I have a random question for anyone planning to buy the RUNNERS: “The Big Snow Job” graphic novel: do you generally buy softcover trade paperbacks or hardcover editions? Just trying to figure out if I want to offer hardcover options, maybe in a much more limited quantity. And for any self-publishers out there, if you have worked with any graphic novel printers that you’d like to recommend, I’d love to hear about it.

Thanks everyone, and I’ll have more book updates soon…

BONUS CONTENT: Sketchbook: Khoruysa Brimia

And the last sketchbook page for now…

Here are a few more concept sketches for the interior of the Khoruysa Brimia, most notably the lounge sitting area of the main commons room, as well as the opposite side of the room, the door and window into the galley next to the dining table.

I also redesigned the cockpit chairs for this story arc, since the chairs in Bad Goods were a bit clunky and had too much detail to draw over and over again. As it turns out, these new cockpit chairs are also a bit too complicated, so I may end up doing another simplifying pass to make them more “drawing friendly.”

Look for them in Arc 3!
