Episode 1

Posted In: Comic, Chapter 1

Forget everything you thought you knew about Frank Rain, however little that may be. I’m starting here with a clean slate. And if the new style of the comic is not evidence of that, I don’t know what will be.

One of the things I decided when considering a return to the web comic was that in order for me to return, the comic would have to be fun. So I went ahead and changed the entire storyline.

What to expect.

Expect a new storyline for the series presented in story arcs or chapters. Every chapter will be a self contained story. Meaning it will have a beginning middle and ending. Each story arc will introduce a new character or two and tell us a bit more about Frank.

Expect some odd ball characters. The previous storyline had some regular villains. This one changes in that you’re going to see some villains you’d expect someone like Batman or Dick Tracy to go up against. Yes. It’s part of making his fun to work on.

Expect a whole lot of Chibi’s. Oh yeah. Part of making it fun too. So mostly everyone will be drawn with a smallish body and a big bubble head ;)

Expect it to be fun. Well, hopefully it will be.

Till then, peace.

What The Future Holds…

It’s been some time I’ve been hinting about Frank Rains return to the web comic scene. It’s been a long time and many obstacles have gotten in the way of it making a return. Some of those obstacles, good, others, bad. Still, I can’t seem to escape this character. Many of you do not know this but, just a few week ago I was deciding on whether I should put the character to sleep and move on, or continue his story. I thank my pals at Crashland Studio for helping me set my mind at ease with their advice on the matter. In the end, it was my choice. And I feel his story needs to be told. Somehow. But how? That’s a good question. Time is a factor. Freelance work is more important here then anything else because through freelance work, I can provide shelter and food for my Family and I. And freelance work takes time and dedication. I can’t just give the Clients second best. I need to give them the very best.

So I’ve decided to post Frank Rain on a “post when I can” schedule. Meaning on my free time, I will work on new episodes and once they are done, I will post them. That also means I can go from having 2 updates in a Month, to not updating for 2 months. It’s a hit and miss. But many other Artists who are professionals working full time in freelance do this too. So why can’t I?

This is also going to allow me to tell the story in a more steady pace. I can think things over before I commit them to the public. I can go ahead and rework a panel or two and I can give my best to the comic too, versus rushing and doing a poor job artistically.

That’s the plan. Now it’s time to put it in motion.

In the coming week I’m going to post the first episode of Frank Rain. It will be familiar to many of you. You’ve seen it before. Only it’s a slight bit different. You’ll see what I mean when the first episode goes live.

When will the second episode go live after that? I don’t know. Maybe a week later? Maybe a few days later? I’m not sure. But one thing is for sure, I’ll be working hard to get it done.

So keep your eyes peeled here. I’ll keep everyone updated via my Twitter account and this page.

Let’s do this.
