hi new grounds, thought id update u all on what ive been up to since i havent been super active lately.

first thing, Tokyo Fire #1 is making great progress! Half of the artwork is completed, so 14 pages out of 28. Been a bit slow thanks to all the cyberpunk cityscape, but my plan is to have the art 100% finished by the end of this month.

I also made a 10-page comic for the Gotham Horror fan-zine, starring Killer Moth! This is a digita-onlyl zine (with some physical merch) full of spooky Batman art and stories, and all proceeds go to Bat Conservation International. Preorders go until the 17th of this month.

[Pre-order Here]

Also, since Newgrounds upped the image limit to 40 for supporters, would anyone be interested in me uploading Exhaust and my other long comics? It's something I've been considering, but I didnt want to clog up my art section with over 20 comics, and the previous 30-image limit was too short for some of my work. Posting my short comics here has been great so far so I might try to do it, just want to see if theres any interest.

That's all the time I've got, I gotta get back to playing Hellboy: Web of Wyrd on my Nintendo 3DS

The campaign for Tokyo Fire #1 has officially ended! We raked in a total of $3,259 McDollars, across 75 supporters!

I'm going to get started on drawing the pages right away, and I'll be sure to be transparent with updates! With our current schedule, we're aiming for a late-November, early-December release.

Thanks to everyone who supported us!

TOKYO FIRE #1, the first installment in my kickass new cyberpunk comic series, is officially 100% funded!!

Now we have the budget we need for production, printing, and shipping, which is good because without those there wouldn't be a comic and that would suck. Thanks to all of you who backed the comic to prevent that dark future!

There are still 48* hours left to back the comic as of this writing, so if you haven't backed it yet get your ass over to ZOOP.GG right now!!We have a physical ediiton with 3 cool covers to choose from, as well as a very cheap digital copy for those of you who would like to avoid shipping costs. Not to mention all the extra add-ons you can add to your order. What are you waiting for?

>> BACK TOKYO FIRE NOW <<

* Campaign ends September 15th or 16th I actually dont know

Here's the covers:

COVER A by SKY HAWKINS (me!!)

COVER B by T. S. LUTHER (he wrote the comic!!)

COVER C by MAR ART (she rocks!!)

I went on the Joe Talks Comics podcast to chat about the Tokyo Fire #1 campaign as well as some other topics! Give it a listen, and make sure to support the campaign before it's too late! Thanks!

>> Support Tokyo Fire #1 here <<

Also apparently I've hit 2k fans here on NG and I didn't even notice?? That's honestly so surreal, I never expected my work to be mildly interesting to so many people so genuinely thanks to all of you :D

TOKYO FIRE STATUS UPDATE

The Tokyo Fire #1 Campaign is already halfway over, and as of this writing is already over 2/3rds funded!! Just need 900 dollars and change to make this comic a reality. Not a lot but also yeah a lot. If a kickass new cyberpunk comic with some clean art by yours truly sounds appealing to you, then head over to ZOOP.GG and secure your copy!! There are physical issues with 3 different covers to choose from, as well as a cheaper, digital option if the physical doesn't work for you. Not to mention extra goodies like posters, and even custom character commissions! What are you waiting for??

Writer: T. S. Luther

Artist: Sky Hawkins (that's me!!)

Letterer: Mike Stock

Synopsis:

After botching the “one last job” that was supposed to get them up and out of the irradiated slums of the futuristic “Lower Tokyo”, two small time crooks, Tib and Wren, along with their mentor, aspiring hoverbike racer Lee, are caught between superpowered gangs, a violent police state, a class revolution, and a leather-clad, pyrokinetic madman trying to burn it all down. Thieves, family, flame, Tokyo will burn.

Written by T.S. Luther (Growing Up), drawn by Sky Hawkins (Exhaust), and lettered by Mike Stock (Dead Roots), Tokyo Fire is a seven-issue limited-series that follows two back-alley thieves as they navigate their final days in a city on the brink of collapse and unravel the conspiracy that led to its downfall.
