The LP Graphic Novel Code name: LP DSW

Ok, while I am doing the online series of The Lightning Prophetess, I saw something I needed to do.  I want to make the graphic novel version of LP a little more action oriented like a typical manga.  So, I began the ardeous task of editing.  It is a retelling of the 1st 3 LP issues in a different way, basically from the perspective of Shandra Knight (Lightning Prophetess).  Its coming along well, just drawing it has been a challenge but a welcome one.  Since this is my first graphic novel, what should I aim for on the first one?

Update: I changed the title from Mechanoias to Mechanoiasis. I found out recently that Mechanoia has been taken by someone else and I want to avoid confusion with similar titles. This new title, Mechanoiasis, makes more sense in what it means in my story anyway. I can't say any more than that, about what Mechanoiasis means, or I'll give away a major part of the story.The full name of my comic is Initiate! Mechanoiasis!. You will be able to view my upcoming webcomic on my mangamagazine.net account. The link to my account is here: http://www.mangamagazine.net/authors-and-artists/MGartist/detail-page/38373I will leave the two illustrations I posted on the web featuring the original name and logo for the purpose of showing my process of creating my comic. I intend to use the same logo and image of my characters, just with the change in the title.

ClosetWorld comic progressing

I've been away for a while, moving from NC to VA (along with twins under the age of 1).  Now settled and into my routine at home and work.  I'm still progressing on ClosetWorld, a faith-based fairy tale that got picked up by Arcana Comics and hopefully will be released later this year or early next.  I just added art from it by artist John Amor.  I'm also developing a pitch called "A Heart for al Qaeda" that's about Air Force special ops (I'm an Air Force officer in my day job).  It's written by me with co-writer Kevin Maurer (he co-wrote last year's nonfiction bestseller "No Easy Day").  All in all, it's going to be a great, busy year.

Social?!Media

Hey folks, I remember when the social media exploded after myspace, and when facebook was introduced... I was thrilled with the idea of connecting with old friends and families. I had many people over the years ask where I was, including a young lady who hasn't seen me since kindergarten back in good ol' Long Island, NY. But now, it's like people are posting way too much of their private lives up making it public,and now being subject to both cyber bullying, and even just the most stupidest things. 

So, in the end here's what I think about facebook. It has by no way made us any social than how we used to be in this human race, but has "connected" us in ways that we couldn't before. But ultimately, social media has become a destructive and degrading "network" focusing on removing the word private from our lives, and instead has destroyed relationships, marriages, ruined businesses and people's reputations, as well as becoming a determining factor to who gets A JOB or GETS INTO that college students always wanted to get into. Life never used to this chaotic until myspace came along. If you feel the same way I have in the past couple of weeks about social media - myspace, facebook, twitter, etc. Why not rally against it and bring back the old method of communication such as calling someone, or writing a heartfelt letter and deliver it snail mail, or just a plain ol' email. 

This is just a PSA against facebook, etc. to show others that the only face I adore the most is Jesus, and that his book has changed my life. 

Nuff' said.

Projects, and Small Ideas

Hey folks, it seems that since I entered this network of Christian Comic Artists, I have been getting an abundant amount of requests to do something for someone. The answer to your requests, is yes... but one person at a time. Because I am a part time busser at a secular sports bar, and part time college student pursuing graphic design. I may not be able to get to everyone at the same time, but I have been hit with two failing grades lately this semester. So I will be needing to hustle on it if I want to pass this hard class called... Anthropology. Yes, the class that talks about natural selection, evolution... my faith has been hit hard, and I have been questioning does God even exist during this semester, but he somehow keeps on bringing me back to him through the Christian Club on my local campus. So, please pray for me as my faith is continuing to get hit and tested big time this year. Thanks a bunch everyone, love you all.

This a return email that I received from a (to be politically correct) suspected, alleged, person -of-interest con-artist who first contacted me through CCAS. The first email asked me to contact (allegedly) her. I thought it was related to that I'm interested in such as seeking an illustrator. Below is the return email:

Artist needed.

Hello this is John Klobuchar. Me and a good friend of mine are making a comic book known as Star Legion. We were in the middle of the art stage, but a current event made us loose a leg (And that would be me). So now she is having to do the art work all by herself, and I wanted someone to help her out since I don't think it is good for her to do it herself. So if anyone wants to help us please give ping me on my Facebook page. Or send me a message on my gmail account (marthman19@gmail.com) Or at lease pray for use that we can get this thing done on schedule. Its very soon before we publish it. I wish I could help but I really need a long break so please pray for us and hopefully I can get some assistance.

Thousand Foot Krutch Album Recommendation

I have only listened to some of their songs from the album called The End Is Where We Begin and I really like this band now. Even more so, now that my personal interpretations of the songs that I have heard are actually what they mean, as shown here: http://www.newreleasetuesday.com/article.php?article_id=814This is an awesome album, I highly recommend it. The instrumental part of the songs are behind words and the lyrics are very inspirational/motivational to me in a creative and spiritual way.The songs that I have heard are:War of ChangeWe AreLight Up The SkyDownCourtesy CallLet The Sparks Fly

CCAS and Chrisian Fellowship on Facebook. The idea is to get as many artists, writers and creators to collaborate or a least submit a page or three of their Christian character fighting someones else Christian character. My initial title is Christian Heroes Throw Down. The premise is a bit comical and the pages I'm going to post have some humor, but it can be serious and the purpose is to be able to showcase your characters and someones else character. Some guidelines would be 1. Max 3 pges. If you can do it in 1 or 2 pages great. But this isn't something to spend forever on since we all have busy schedules. 3 pages is enough , but remember not to try to have like 8 panels each page. That's too much and for you writers I think artists would be more inclined o illustrate your idea if it is a small workload. 2, Your character has to lose. That is where the fan art and supporting the other person's character comes into play. It is humbling and giving. But if you have a creator's character in mind you can do your throw down where your character lose and then the other creator can do his/her throw-down where  your character wins. Make contact, make new contacts. The first page or if it is one page, will have the websites and the characters names and the winner will have /his/her name and website on the last page. 3 Have fun with this.and keep it simple. My examples didn't take long for me to do. I even colored a page, but kept the coloring simple. The "throw down" doesn't have to be a physical fight. Also be  tasteful and respectful. No blood needs to be shown.
Facebook page to post the pages and we can place the pages on our websites. Reach out to other creators. Do a one page or 2 page throw down collaboration.. Artists don't over think or do something complicated. Writers don't overload the pages with panels.. Think of this like those 24 hour projects. Wham. Bam. I'm done. 3 pages max. Tell me what you think.

Every Season of Life Belongs to Him

Hey folks, you know there is that old saying... que sera sera... or roughly translated to seasons come and seasons go. Well, that is completely true when you find in God's word that yes, for every season in a person's life, there is change, loss, and opportunity. I know this,because God puts people, places or events in our lives for a reason, to strengthen us, to test us, or to hinder us. I not only believe, but I am convinced that the Lord brought me to this place in order to leave the realm of facebook to seek an alternative for positive growth spiritually, and wholesome fellowship in the arts. If anyone reads this, and agrees with me, please reply in support and to help boost my self esteem in Christ' name. Amen!!
