Star Stream HD Trailer
This is a new trailer for Star Stream I made the other day. Click "read more..." to see a larger version of it or click here to watch it on YouTube.
It's in HD for those that have it. I used all the original high resolution art from the comic so it looks great in full screen. I also created the music for the trailer. I don't really have a name for the song but for now I'm calling it 'Star Theme' (get it?)
Check it out and if you're watching it on the youtube site, rate it and leave a comment.
And don't forget to go check out STAR STREAM otherwise it would defeat the whole purpose of creating a trailer for the webcomic!

Star Stream: Characters
Some concept art for Star Stream.
This is Dishon and the little guy is his first lieutenant. They'll be around for a good part of chapter 2 and maybe longer...
One more note, the little triggers on their swords are for the blaster function :)

Star Stream: Invasion p16 "Pencils"
This is page 22 of Star Stream. That's p16 of Chapter 1: Invasion. It's all done digitally. Sky (that's her name btw) and A.J. are trying to talk Jintuan into leaving with them. Did it work? Well you'll have to wait another week to find out :)

Star Stream: Ships
One of the first main villains in Star Stream are the Braigon... this is one of their cruisers. The starfighters look a lot like this too.

Star Stream: Page 15 Preview
Here's the finished colors. You can see I added the star map console behind General Grimm and made some adjustments to Bale's expression in panel 3 to reflect the "subtle shock" described in the script.
I still believe that doing sequentials is easier when doing it digitally. If for no other reason, it's easier to just draw everything on a layer rather than scanning in inks and having to fill in the lines on the "canvas."
I'm pretty sure it'll save a few trees working entirely in digital too.

Star Stream: 1st Sequential Promo
The image title of this is 1st penciled page promo, which just means it's the first promo featuring sequential pencils. In the actual story, it's page 15 (when counting the 6 page "prelude")
It's also the first time I've ever done a fully sequentialed (pencil, ink, color and letters) digitally. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Actually, I think I prefer digital to pencil and paper, although I admit there are still some areas where I still need the traditional medium like ships. For some reason, doing ships on the tablet doesn't work.
For anybody that might be curious, the hypothetical script (meaning I never actually wrote one) for this page would go something like this:
Panel 1. Establishing shot - Bale and Korbo are trekking through a dense forest in search of an alleged enemy base.
BALE: ...so the captain looks up at him with a serious look on his face and says "If I had a tranciever I wouldn't be hiding in a damn Graylax den, would I?"
KORBO: Harg!
Panel 2. Close up of General Grimm (on the bridge of his ship)
GRIMM: That's enough fooling around, Calistas. You should be coming up on the Braigon Base.
Panel 3. Bale looks up in shock (subtle) at the base.
BALE: Yeah I see it. Doesn't look very accessible though.
Panel 4. Korbo and Bale duck behind a knocked over tree log as they spy on the base. The base sits in the middle of a small open area surrounded by tree-lines.
KORBO: Transmission and sensor arrays. Looks like a radar outpost.
BALE: Could mean there's a bigger facility in a near-by system.

Star Stream: Ship Designs
Some of the ship designs I'm working on for Star Stream. Probably not gonna use the one on the bottom though - looks a little too much like Lone Star's Winnebago.

Star Stream: Character Designs
Another race from Star Stream. Of the designs I've posted so far, this one is the most likely to be changed. I'll probably shorten the heads a little.
The guy in the middle is the early combat design. I'm not in love with it right now. Fortunately, it'll be a while before these guys are introduced so I've got plenty of time to tweak the design.
