As I mentioned earlier I'm attempting to make a collaborative manga which is a combo of the Hebiko stories I wrote a while back and the Poop Pain videogame concept I made. Anyway the team that will be helping me put this together has been assembled. Here's whose doing what.

Character Designer: Tokpile Quohog, he's pretty damn good, here's the designs he's done so far.

Primary artists:

Norte Designs: The daughter of the guy who did the backgrounds for the 1980's masters of the universe cartoon, she was trained by her father.

Dark Tiger: This is a cartoonist who lives in india, he's also very good especially at coloring.

Writer/mecha designer: Me, I think you all know what sorts of things I tend to write, I'm doing a creature tech sort of look for any mecha in this using zbrush because I figured that looked pretty cool which it does

Here's some screencaps of my creature tech hover bike design

There may also be one other person on board for this but I can't say this with certainty right now.

My goal is to have the first book published by 2009 or sooner, the title of this series will be parasite galaxy, I'll post more here as updates come.

Z.. if Kirstie or the crab are snuck into this, even just a one panel Cameo.. I will love you forever, and make you brownies and stuff..

This is looking HOTT!

Ok, here's a small update on the situation like this for anyone whose curious. Right after declaring my victory the two main artists vanished which caused me a bit of trouble (yeah looks like they made a monkey out of me)

Anyway after that the guy who did the character designs volunteered to do the first chapter. But it turns out that after a few months of super procrastination he was too busy to do it so he's back to just doing the character designs now. But I did get a freind from college to do it and she should be working on it now.

Anyway the deal is I'm going to be making the web page for it and want to get it up around the time she finishes chapter 1. So I'm trying to come up with ideas for pictures that should be on the web site. For the main page I was thinking of having a picture of Hebiko and Gemini on a hover bike being chased by Muucurion, but I also wanted to have some sort of banner I could use to advertise it. I wanted this to be something really interesting looking but I haven't came up for any ideas here yet.

These are the catigories that will be on the web site.

Main page
Plot
Characters
Miscelanious
Merchandise

I'm not sure if each catigory will need a seperate piece of artwork on it yet. but I know that I'll at least be needing something for the main page and the banner. I have a decent idea for the main page artwork, but have no clue about what to use for the web banner. Anyone have any ideas?

Also if you do have suggestions about what I might put on any of those other pages be sure to drop the suggestion here.
