More behind the scenes work on This EMPIRE. Uploaded is episode 29 of “The Worlds Collide” story arc. Working from these thumbnails I think this is the way the strip is going to be finish out.
Thank you for your continued patience, and reading.

This EMPIRE, the work continues to get back on the regular schedule. Today’s post (quite late) is the next development step of putting together episode 28 part of “Worlds Collide” story arc. During this process I would be flushing out the thumbnails for rendering of characters, background, and dialogue placement.
By the way thanks to the Sketch Jam crew for the much needed advice of updating on regular basis. Something is better than nothing.
Another thing if your in the area, check out Justin Yang’s submission for Design Box’s gallery opening of “Bad Ads” for the First Friday festivities.
Thank you for your continued patience, and reading.

This EMPIRE is making the trek back to its regular schedule programming. This how strip 29 is proceeding small thumbnail sketches, backed with me rewriting the dialogue an infinite number of times.
Danielle Corsetto author of Girls of Slingshots recently celebrated her 1,000th strip, now moving to a color format. Cheers Hazel & Jamie, and to another 1,000 more comics.
By the way fans of Image Comics produced “Walking Dead” by Robert Kirkman, and Charlie Adlard will be premiering as a live action show this Halloween on AMC. The pilot will be directed by Frank Darabont and he will be writing some the episodes (great googly moogly). Click here… for a viewing.
Thank you for reading, comic will be back online soon.

The slow climb continues to get This EMPIRE back on schedule. Navigation through the comic pages seems to be up to date. If there is any problems let me know.
Above is the initial story board / thumbnail process I go into when making a comic. I kept tweaking panel 3 in next two layouts working on the character’s expression for that scene.
Below is what coming up when the last 3 parts of “World’s Collide” finally wraps up. Pardon the wait on new comics.
Unabashed plug time
Meredith Gran the amazing author of Octopus Pie has recently release her first collection of strips from her wonderful comic. It nearing the end of the initial 8-week sales period, and those numbers mean a whole lot towards getting future books made this way.
Yes I have my copy; it was kind of the personal treat after a long strange turn of events in a not-too-distant parallel world. Which is now taking even further twists and turns.
Oh My.
Laugh out loud moment
Questionable Content the last panel with the Pintsize remarks made my day.

Another week and no strip… But perchance a sketch tide you over. On a parallel world things for me have been in bit of a tizzy and a dozy which has affected the progress of This EMPIRE. This one features Niall, Jamal, and Trent hanging out at the flat. Mmh, budding bromance?
By the way, courtesy of Justin Yang from the Raleigh Sketch Jam there it a face book page featuring works from those sessions.
Raleigh Sketch Jam is a sketch group that meets weekly. What started as a couple of friends meeting to draw and appease their caffeine fix slowly turned into a open community. Drawings are drawn, coffee is imbibed, supplies/advice are shared, and the conversation never runs dry (no matter how dorky).
All are welcome to join whether you are an artist, art enthusiast, beginner, student, or your name is “Art.”We normally meet every Wednesday @ The Morning Times Cafe from 7pm- 10 pm.
Hopefully you can make it out, good times all around.
We hope to be back to our regular programming soon. Hopefully these sketches, and posts have kept things still interesting.
Thank you for reading
