Sinners Vol. 1 Adult Graphic Novel: THE RESULTS ARE IN!
THE CURRENT SCHEDULE
I’m finishing the coloring on After Dark 5, which should be done in around two weeks.
Jex and I are working on multiple videos for the YouTube channel.
NEW ADULT GRAPHIC NOVEL, “SINNERS”
So, yesterday, I dropped an update asking about several adult comic book ideas you might be interested in.
NOTE: I used some AI-generated images below to quickly conceptualize some of the characters.
HERE ARE THE TITLE CHOICES:
VIRTUA - A young woman in a dystopian cyberpunk future entertains herself by going into virtual reality scenarios where she lives out erotic adventures with a series of idyllic paramours. 24 pages.
BRANDY FIREBUSH: The Farmer’s Daughter - A gorgeous young farmer’s daughter wakes up to realize that her farm has been visited by a UFO. During the incursion, Brandy is abducted and finds herself aboard an extraterrestrial ship crewed by a gaggle of sexually-curious aliens. 24 pages.
SMASHLEY THORNE: Slumber Party at the Monster Mansion - A 20-something rocker girl has a crazy drunken night at a concert and trying to find her way home, wanders off the beaten path and ends up at a dark, spooky house in the middle of nowhere. Inside she finds another party, this time being thrown by a cadre of monsters who want her to join the “fun”. 24 pages.
HOW DID THE VOTING GO?
After thinking about it, I wasn’t really surprised at the voting results. With a sample size of 100 votes, it turned out like this:
It was pretty equal voting across the board. And people were only allowed one vote, so no tampering or re-voting involved.
I was planning on only offering one of the concepts, BUT with the voting going as it did, the plans will change.
HOW WILL THE “SINNERS” CAMPAIGN WORK?
The project campaign will launch at FUNDMYCOMIC.COM(I know the awesome guy who runs the site and adult content is allowed and won’t be censored).
Here are some of the features of the campaign:
I’ll be offering ALL THREE COMIC IDEAS on the project campaign.
You’ll be able to pre-order any of the 24-page comics INDIVIDUALLY. So, if you only want the Brandy Firebush comic, you can get it. If you only want the Smashley Thorne and VR girl comics, you can get those only, .etc.
You’ll be able to pre-order a graphic novel that combines all three comic books into one collected graphic novel, complete with sketchbook work with an estimated 90-page count.
The campaign will run for 100 days and will have a high minimum funding goal of around $25,000.
If the funding goal isn’t reached, every backer will be refunded.
PRICING DETAILS - Based on the printing costs per unit, I’ll be able to offer each 24-page comic for $10-12. The collected graphic novel—with sketchbook work included—will be around 90 pages and I’ll charge $35 for that.
SHIPPING DETAILS - Each 24-page comic will be shipped as a flat in a stay-flat mailer(not a Gemini Box) to reduce shipping costs and shipping price to you. It will cost less than $3 to ship a 7 oz. flat within the domestic USA and around $5 internationally. The 90-page graphic novel will cost $3 to ship within the domestic USA, $7 to Canada and $14 to the rest of the world.
Stay tuned as the campaign will launch on FUNDMYCOMIC.COM some time over the next 6-8 weeks as I have other obligations to complete before doing any conceptual work on Sinners Vol. 1.
Thanks, everyone! If you have any questions or comments, let me know!
