Scanning with Pens and Steampunk Musha
Apr. 15th, 2008 10:29 pmEvery so often, Rick Hershey slips me a little sample art work so I can see what's going on with our Steampunk Musha projects. We've just finished up the text for the d20 version of the player's book, so that'll be out and available in the near future (I don't have an exact release date, but I expect that "any day now" is probably about right--it'll be available through the Empty Room Studios store). At any rate, I got permission to share a little bit of the teaser art with you guys, so here it is:
This is one of our Shangti Cowboys--gunslingers who tend toward being private eyes and bounty hunters. They're our most noir characters, I think--so, of course, I love them. In fact, the first comic script I did was the introduction of Amura Hiroko, a female Shangti Cowboy, to her side-kick, a rooster Juunishi-p'o (small creatures that share human features with the features of animals from the Chinese zodiac) named Del. I'd forgotten that my script is actually up on my Empty Room Studios profile page, if you're interested in seeing how I go about scripting a comic. Remember though that this was my *very first* script and it still hasn't been turned into actual serial art yet. I'm still looking forward to that!
This is one of Rick's concept drawings of Hiroko.
Real quick news on the progress of DocuPen. I made the OCR software work today and think I am picking up some good technique with it that will enable me to finally make some progress on my scanning project. Actual pictures and description later!
