The Glitter and The Trauma Update.

It's been an odd year.  This time last December, I was doodling ideas about a superhero story with a girl fighting shadowy creatures in a nightclub.  Now I'm typing up the script for issue 2 of the comic book series about the same superhero.  It's a strange feeling.
It's been a while since I've posted on here about TGATT, so I think an update is long overdue.

The script for issue #1 is complete and artist, Pablo Ventura, is working his way through pencilling out the pages.  Digital artist, Adam Turner, is also at work on colours and lettering.  All in all, issue #1 is coming along great and hopefully we should have something complete to show off soon.  As a little teaser, Pablo leaked page 1 of issue 1 on his twitter last week:

I think you'll agree that it looks freaking awesome and this is going to be a damn fine comic.  We've got a great team and it's only a matter of time before we have a finished issue #1 in our hands.

Once the first story arc is completed (first 3 or 4 issues), we've got some ridiculously exciting stuff planned.  This is not a short series and there are BIG plans for "The Glitter and The Trauma" and the universe it inhabits.  Keep checking back for updates and keep following on Twitter for more up to date gossip and news.

Imagination Will be the Death of You...

So, I think my imagination's gotten a little away from me.  This morning (September Weekend and up nice and bright and early), I curled up with some headphones on, Amanda Palmer's new album blaring, and a glass of OJ to hand, and attempted to plot out all of the ideas that @UnknownMaleDOA and I had come up with so far.

2 hours later, I had enough material for nearly 20 issues of - what has now come to be known as  - "The Glitter and the Trauma".  Holy crap, when did this project get so huge?!  I'm extremely psyched that it's going so well and overwhelmed but just how much we've got to work with.

Over the next few weeks, I'm going to start a wee video blog on here and, hopefully, by the end of the year, I'll have a website up and running for the project.  Until then, please make here and my Twitter Page your first port of call on all Illuminator news.

Issue #1 is well under way and there are a few posters lurking around Twitter, too, so keep an eye out and, for a little sneak peek, here's a wicked poster by Pablo.  Be sure to follow him on Twitter and show your support for the man who gave Sarah and Ellie faces (and, well, other body parts too in the case of his current Twitter background!).

Glitter and Trauma Event

Hello lovely visitor,

It's highly likely you came by here via my Twitter page.  If you did, thank you very much.  If you didn't, well, hello anyway!

As a huge thank you to all my followers who helped me exceed the beautiful number that is 1,000, this weekend (7th-9th September) I will be holding a totally free Glitter and Trauma event right here on this blog.  This will involve the following:

• A brand new and exclusive Glitter and Trauma short story - a never-before-seen 3 part tale that will turn the Glitter and Trauma universe, as you know it, on its head.
• Glitter and Trauma (the original novella) will be listed as free on all Amazon sites for those 3 days.
• A sneak peak into the art of Glitter and Trauma: the comic.
• New and exclusive art from the illustrator of Glitter and Trauma: the Comic.

Apologies for being rather secretive about what the new story will be about and the lack of detail on the comics, but stay tuned and be patient.  This weekend is gonnae be AWESOME!!!
