About My Graphic Novel

Meganeea: The Land Above

(Click here to see a preview of chapter #1.)

My graphic novel, Meganeea, already has a website/blog of its own, which is The Meganeean Times. But I decided to give it a little page here on my personal blog as well, since I mention it in almost every post I write.

I first began working on Meganeea when I was thirteen years old. After drawing a lot of maps, storyboards, character concept sketches and writing the basic plot points for each of the books (there are eight planned to date) I found myself ready to begin working on a final version that I could show to the world. Originally I wanted Meganeea to be a single animated movie, then an animated tv show, and then a series of novels. But the more comics and graphic novels I read, the more this seemed like the best medium possible to carry my story. So in the end I settled for creating a graphic novel.

Currently, the first part of a preview is available for viewing here. You can also learn more about the land of Meganeea and some of the creatures living there in the “About” section.

I would like the first book to be somewhere in the 300-350 page range. I don’t know when I’ll be able to finish it, since sometimes I can draw more pages per week, sometimes less. But you can track my progress on the Book Progress section of The Meganeean Times.

I know that people have been reading the preview, but so far I have not received any comments on it on the blog. So, if you could take a look at it and then leave me your opinion there, I would be very grateful.

Keep an eye on either blog to find out when more pages are added! ;)
