For those interested, here's my comic outline. This is going to be the longest issue yet, and may even be my pride and joy if I get everything done in time. Anyway, I usually do an outline to help me plan out an issue. The page estimates on the little stories are just that, estimates, so they can be either larger or shorter depending on however many pages it actually takes me to tell the story.

This issue is actually going to have a sort of theme, art-wise. The actual comic part of it won't be affected, but since I'm going to give it such a pretty (I hope) art nouveau cover with Helena, and I've been studying the style like crazy and having fun with it, I think I'm gonna make it a themed women of MCR in the art nouveau. You'll be seeing drafts of those showing up in the scraps soon. The cover you've already seen an early draft to (Helena Cover draft). Really excited about it because I have all these ideas in my head now.

Anyway, here's the outline, gives you an idea of what I'm working on.

If there's a female featured in MCR, you know, as a major character through their album or something, let me know so I can add it in. Not doing the parade extras outside of Fear and Regret, cause they just look too cool, and Gerard has some concept with them he was playing with.

But yeah, 21 pages in estimate, when usually the comic doesn't go past 12 pages. Oh yeah, I'm liking this. Starting to be more like a real doujinshi to me.

Now if only I can figure out a good way to print it out, back and front. Was doing it an kinkos, but now it's just... bleah, and back and front was too complicated there. If anyone has any suggestions about getting it printed, and where I can get a comic binding done, I'd love to hear it.
