Hello All,

I just wanted to let you all know about a graphic novel I have been developing, here are some of the first pages of a mini story I have had created for the first issues:

I am now also running a kickstarter campaign to fund the rest of the issues creation as well as additional merchandise, figurines and games development.

Please checkout the campaign and pledge and share it so that we can reach our goals.

The graphic novel as you may be able to tell is inspired by a very manga/anime style and is in full colour throughout.

Please also feel free to comment here or ont he campaign itself and I will respond to any questions you might have on the graphic novel and its storyline and characters.

Happy to say that we have now reached over the 10% mark in around 12 hours.

The campaign has now reached the 50% target, so we have created a couple of wallpapers to celebrate, one of which is an altered version of the cover for issue 1 of the graphic novel. Click an image for a larger version.
