Title: News and art from Octavia & PK :)
Post by: OctaviaMoon on June 05, 2015, 09:20:29 am
Just wanting to let everyone know that PK and I have written a free, online comic. We are only 11 pages into uploading it (it's weekly) but thought some of the members here might like to read it and bookmark it.

The art is by Eliseu Gouviea (Google him!) - "Zeu" is a Portuguese comics artist and freelance illustrator with many years of experience illustrating comics, children's books and school books. More recently, his work includes work on Lady Death, as a Marvel Comics sketch card artist and in The Phantom, written by Mike Bullock for Moonstone Books. Moonstone Books also published a mini-series, which he created, called Infiniteens and a mini-series written by Justin Gray called Vengeance of the Mummy. Of note, he has previously worked with Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray on Image Comics one-shot Cloudburst.

Colours, lettering and the website all by me.

We'd love to hear your thoughts about the comic, which you can read here http://www.grantedcomic.com/index.html (http://www.grantedcomic.com/index.html)

Quote
Nearly 3,000 years ago, King Solomon gained mastery over the djinn - ancient and mystical beings with magical powers. Legend has it that the djinn were forced into slavery, bound to objects, such as lamps, seals and rings.
Granted is the story of one of those djinn. Ginny is a spirit as old as civilization, who is bound to the ring and whoever bears it. She must grant their wishes, but doesn't always like it.
Like Ginny, Granted is a conundrum, the mysteries of which will unfold over time. The characters will frustrate and engage you. You will love them and hate them, but, eventually, our wish is that you care about them
.

And, if you have a spare few dollars and feel inclined to donate to our Patreon campaign - for bonus content and pinups (by Zeu, Octavia or PK) - you can do so here
https://www.patreon.com/OctaviaMoon (https://www.patreon.com/OctaviaMoon). Even small donations are much appreciated and it's easy to sign up and donate.

More than anything we'd just like to hear your thoughts - about the story, the art, the website...or what you might wish for, if you were the master of a gorgeous 3,000 year old genie:)

Thank you for listening...and to be clear it IS an adult themed comic, but not pornographic, as such.

Octavia xox

This is my favourite of all the iterations I've read so far. I'll certainly be reading on. Good luck with it.

Thank you GW...We are both pleased that we made the decision to hire an artist...it's working out great, I think :) Onward and upward!

No you're not - don't tell fibs! ::)

The story so far: For anyone reading these last posts and getting confused, Octavia's link was wrong but now she's fixed it.

Okay, this looks awesome!!  And I'm already confused, which I take as a good sign.

One thing--I looked up the youtube vid.  Is Tatiana Brickman's current squeeze with potential to be Wife X, or someone who's dallying with Elliot for amusement?  Also, I have another more practical question.  I'll try PM first.


Title: Re: A free comic by Octavia & PK
Post by: OctaviaMoon on June 11, 2015, 05:19:44 pm
The Youtube is a little bit of a spoiler, in terms of the tangled web of their relationships. Tatiana will feature more and there is a plot line involving she and Brickman...I won't say more than that :) Except she's quite hilarious and PK has written some really funny scenes with her in :)

I'll look out for your PM :)

It's a question about the Patronage system.  So far the work is beautiful and intriguing.  Is the guy who lost the ring in the opening panels the "twice broken" guy who wants to be a hero more than anything?


Title: Re: A free comic by Octavia & PK
Post by: OctaviaMoon on June 13, 2015, 07:19:03 am
Nope....but, honestly you are going to love the comic, it's full of mysteries and plot twists. Bear in mind it jumps back and forth in time - so sometimes you might not know exactly what's going on until a bit later :) Just stick with it :)


Title: Re: A free comic by Octavia & PK
Post by: jmundt29 on June 13, 2015, 12:00:45 pm
I already love it! ;)  I'm a little relieved 1984's Poison extra lost the ring just as he was beginning to maniacally enjoy it.  Already looking forward to the next weekly update. ;)

This is a section (heavily blurred) of the June reward Pinup. The full resolution Tiff file will be available for my $10 per month patrons - I'll post as the payments begin to be processed in early July so there is still time to join my Patreon crew.

The full image is NSFW (there be boobies!) and I am really pleased with how this turned out...I hope you will too :)

If you aren't a patron and would like to have this beautiful digital painting of Ginny, you can donate by going to www.patreon.com/octaviamoon and clicking the appropriate pledge button. If you'd like to read the comic that features this intriguing Genie you can read for free at www.grantedcomic.com.

Thank you for you support :)

www.surveymonkey.com/s/GQGHPM5

I've compiled a survey to get some feedback on the comic and on the Patreon campaign. I'd be ever so grateful to anyone who would complete it - should take about 5 to 10 minutes.

The feedback will be invaluable and I will post the results and analysis for other comic creators and people using Patreon so we can all benefit from the information.

Thank you

Octavia

Odd thing--the link goes to a Survey Monkey "Page not found" prompt for me.  Not sure why that is.
