NEON- though I admit neon does not translate well to the black and white printing.

The effect of Neon can be done in Black and white. I refer you to Jim Sterenko Nick Fury comics!

What's a Delbo hand?
I've just received illustrations for Megatron's Ultimatum, they are badass!
Stories with no pics being worked on are:
Issue 2 - Attack at Dawn - The first story
Issue 16 - The Case of Optimus Prime - The autobots moan about how often Optimus Prime gets kidnapped
Issue 19 - Shockwave's Galactic Secret (it has Rescue Force and every autobot is useless)

Observe closely how Delbo draws hands. There is a particular repeating style.

Starting to edit it together now, hopefully I can get it finished and printed in time! Thanks to Bogatan for supplying a wonderful cover! Not sure if I'll be able to do it in colour yet, it'll probably be b/w, though I'll make a pdf for online viewing after AA.  What should go on the back cover? |

That is a wonderfully demented cover Blueshift. I love it.

Despite introducing a wedding cake I still dont think I came close to capturing the level of dementia in the story itself.
Is it too late to start picking apart my work? I really want to change the colour of the cake so its not the same as Megatron.

I really want to change the colour of the cake so its not the same as Megatron. Nooo it's great it's great! And it fits with the 'limited colour palette' idea Does anyone want to check over the text once I've compiled it. I think I want to start to print it next week, so it would need to be read over by Sunday. |

Ah yes! Limited colour palette, thats what I was going for. Yes.

Oh boy and I have to share this one, a battle scene from Attack at Dawn by a chap in America who goes by Jhiaxus on IRC:  |

I am so excited about this, hopefully I can get it completed in time!
It's looking like it will be a bumper volume, but I don't really want to cut down the content, especially since people have submitted such lovely pieces of art.

Very much looking forward to this. I stopped reading wiki articles because I wished to experience the full madness in printed form!

I am pretty stoked about this! I can probably get away with 50-60 copies I think, that should be enough shouldn't it?

All I can say is I am really looking forward to obtaining a copy come AA.

As am I!
I would say 50-60 is the upper limit for printed fanzines at cons these days. Even when free, they are a hard sell, alas.

No worries. I might sketch the one that caught my eye just for fun, though...

However, I'd be interested in purchasing a copy with P&P, if you're selling them Mr. BlueShift, sir. |

And sure, I can pop one in an envelope for you, just pm me your address. |

Sadly anything fan-produced is an uphill struggle. But then, my impression is that a fair amount of the time anything that isn't a toy can be a hard-sell at a TF convention.

50 to 60 will be fine, as Ralph says it can be difficult to shift more.
BTW put me down for a copy.
