Emissary

As with all experiments, sometimes we don’t get the results we hoped for and experiment falls a little flat. A combination of recent time constraints (a new, rather busy job) and an underestimation of the time involved in making a full page, comic book styled page on a weekly basis has brought production on Emissary to a screeching halt.

As relieving as it is to get some time freed up to continue work on my “bread and butter” strip, InkTank, it is more than a little disappointing to have tried something and had such high hopes only to see it falter and collapse.

HOWEVER … notice that Emissary is only “on hold” and not cancelled. The story is written and I still feel it is a good one, worthy of telling. In the future, I think I will be looking for an artist to partner up with to bring the Emissary story to life. I have it plotted out to take a year to tell in weekly installments. It likely wouldn’t be a paid position, as the intelectual property is owned by Blizzard, and so the publishing/reselling of the material would be out of the question. But eventually I hope to put the call out, accept submissions and see if Emissary can’t be launched and followed though to it’s conclusion.

I feel, deeply, that the Emissary story will be told. Eventually.
