I love your story so far. Ellis, you are SUCH A TALENTED ARTIST AND WRITER! Great pacing, dialogue, characterization. In a way I'm shocked to see this because I'm thinking, "Why hasn't he been doing this all along?! Why has he been wasting time doing Kirby and Frazetta knockoffs, when his own talent cries out for expression?" That's meant as a compliment. Like I said before, at sixty years old, you've earned the right to be yourself. So forget about emulating those other guys. You could be a top talent in the industry in your own right and make a unique contribution to the field. I'm not just saying this because we are friends. You are meant to do this. Please, please keep writing these stories, publish them and start your new successful career NOW.
Have to echo, Mr. Moon! This is awesome and I want to see the final product! Do it! :)
Thanks guys. Very encouraging reaction.
I've got a little distraction before I get back to it. I'm going to do a sample of typical whiteboard animation. Try to get some freelance with that as a sample. Go into specialty mode.
I've got it all mapped out. Have all the software I could possibly need.

Oh, and don't forget everybody. Today is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY at your local comic book store! I always try to pick up the annual Barks Duck reprint.
FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!
I went to two comic stores and collected eight free comics! One store had a limit of three and the other a limit of five. No Barks this time, but a nice reprint of Hal Foster's Prince Valiant.
Totally agree with Tom... Being yourself is the best way to go! Fun story with plenty of warmth and personality. I look forward to seeing it finished!
Hey, I'm REALLY liking this so far! It's engaging, sad, and a little creepy, just like any good fairy tale-like story should be. It has a nice Miyazaki feel to it, as well as a Gaiman-esque quality when he does these kind of stories. Impressive work so far. Really looking forward to the rest!
Don'tthink this posted properly so I'll try it again...

Ellis, I took the liberty of changing the date on your comic book post so that it would appear on top of the Moonfleet post, as it is the more important and deserves to stay up longer.
I had altered the Moonfleet date when I appeared on top of it a couple of days ago.
But you're right Tom.
I am more important.
Thanks for the comments Scott. Also for the update that you're still alive.
Rick, I'm on it.
Been gathering a bunch of comic work to put in one monster manga size paperback for that Indy Planet publisher. Should finish that this week.
Just want all that effort to be available.
Vrery exciting to see all this posted! I gotta dig into this later today....
Looks cool!!
A personal story of artist development I Tumblr ed
El, I love this story! It does the very best thing a story can do--it makes me want to read more!
Great pace to the whole thing--really nice flow. And I like how you resist the easy shots. Most of the time a story like this would have one or two estab shots, then descend to close-up, close-up, close-up--you hold back and then POW we get the grandmother sitting up in bed saying good bye (sad and creepy--such a great and difficult thing to pull off!).
Really exciting! I am inspired! (but apparently not inspired enuff to scan my work from today and post it...ugh. I'm struggling).
Ellis, like the grandmother I'm not tchnically alive.
Wow. Thanks Marty.
I'm dabbling around. May have some freelance projects that distract me a bit.
I'll get back on this today and see what I can expect to produce on a good day.
It is a struggle Marty.
Even the undead like Scott, struggle. Buncake, I was using the cable guide the other day.
I was amazed by how many deep cable shows involve haunted house investigators. They really need Ghost Provokers to balance some of that idiocy.
Balance the idiocy? No, I think GP would tip the scale to one side for good, not that it wasn't already leaning towards the stupid all on its own.
...but where's Beata?
