Reaping

______

So I've been finished with university for almost a couple of weeks now. Deadlines went to plan, and although I was working up to the nose, it was for extra marks rather than racing to merely finish. I'm confident that I've done pretty damn well, if not excellently, on most of the assignments, and as such I'm looking forward to getting my results (not that I actually know when this will be...)

A couple of posts down you will have noticed a big shiny poster. This big shiny poster is what I have been using to advertise for an artist for Hell's Own, my graphic novel. Well, after weeks of waiting, I've had a mere two responses. One hasn't got back to me, but the other is showing some definite promise.

He's just finished his first year on the illustration course at my university, and contacted me with real enthusiasm for the project. We've been e-mailing back and forth over the past few days, and already he's given me a few preliminary character concept sketches, with a view to doing some more detailed ones in the very near future.

I can't wait. Things are finally taking off...
