UPDATE
Episode 19 was the last of issue 1. Issue 2 will appear here on Tapastic and DevArt as soon as I get issue 3 done.
If you can’t wait, Issue 2 is available on Comixology (99¢) viewable on all devices and a motion version with animation, music and sound effects ($1.99) is available on the Madefire app for iPad, Android Tablets, Windows Tablets and Apple TV. Go to mercyisjustmyname.com for more info. Hope you’ve enjoyed the strip so far.
Hoping issue 3 will appear on Comixology and Madefire in Sept. I think it is a big improvement over the first 2.
Here’s a breakdown of the 6-issue series:
Issue 2: Soul in Iron (concluded). Dubois’ backstory set in the Louisiana swamps and battlefields of the Civil War. Introduction of a major villain, Juliette Marsh.
Issue 3: Wolfshead. Pet’s backstory set in the badlands. The return of Professor Cruor and the “Wolf.”
Issue 4-5: Orphan of the Plains. Introduction of previously referenced character, Dr. Henry. Mercy’s backstory set in the great plains and Arkham, Massachusetts.
Issue 6: The Crawling Chaos. Introduction of the character, Nate Love. The return of Juliette Marsh (and others) for a showdown of apocalyptic proportions on the shores of the Sea of Cortez.
So: Civil War battles, werewolves, zombies, vengeful ghosts, steam-powered robots, airships, train crashes, Lovecraftian apocalypse, showdowns, love triangles and lots of revenge! Stay tuned…
I think my drawing is much improved over issue 1. Here’s an issue 3 page. For the most recent work check out my DA page: http://rustypony.deviantart.com/ or my site: http://mercyisjustmyname.com/
Just a note on process: These images started life as a horizontal motion book pages, a bit o work to port them to a large font vertical format. Starting to get the hang of it. Main problem is that viewers will still be looking on this on a variety of screens (phone, tablet, laptop, desktop), so you can only optimize so much for a small screen. Here's the original and in the next post I’ll show the revised.
