One of the things I've been working on, well, two of them actually, comes to leave my hands and go to the hands of others soon enough. The first, Dr Sylver and the Tapestry of Time, hits shelves in April after the most protracted birth of any of my projects, ever. Oh boy. The second hits shelves before hand, despite only having been worked on since Christmas in any real sense. It's been a theraputic piece of work in some ways, exciting in others. Ladies and Gentlemen meet Wombat and Wambot. It's the tale of a small, furry amnesiac and his large robotic counterpart. Fairly obviously the name came first and the story... Well, there's a little bit of this and a little bit of that in there. Sometime soon it becomes my own and then, shortly after, it's going to be given over to others: much like the Big Book Draw the fun of Project Wombat is that others will fill in the middle up until the last page or so. That part will be the most fun of all. I had intended to show the project off sometime in the Summer but with the release of Brushes on the iPad in a months time it makes more sense to try and hit before then which has compressed my stretching out and relaxing time to a small, stressed ball of lack of time off. Still, I do love working on a project so hey ho, all part of the game. Anyhow if you're so inclined you could join the twitter feed at @wombatwambot or add the facebook page here... The more the merrier (and of course the more would help me out in showing the project off to others in the future so any adds would be gratefully appreciated).
