PITCH:
Seven days before his death, Edgar Allan Poe makes contact with an elemental/demon. A deal is made that if Poe offers up his body for those seven days, the demon will unite Poe with his wife Virginia in the afterlife. Upon possession, Poe blacks out awakening in a hellish nightmare world where Poe’s epic characters are now very much real. You must guide Poe through the nightmarish landscape across the hill, through the town, into the forbidden forest, up to the abandoned castle, to conquer over the false god to regain possession of your soul. Your main weapon would be a scythe and you would gain other skills as you meet characters and conquer over more and more of your mind.
Originally going to be a sequential project. But I thought it would love to see it realized as a video game. But I have no experience in video game design. I wanted to know if there was anywhere to offer game pitches to designers??? Is this the place???

Comments? Ideas? Would love to hear them…

I submitted this into the Nightmare Before Christmas competition. His name is Gorey Grimm, he is the founder of Halloween Town.

A sequential project. The only requirement was to show metamorphosis. I decided to tell a story about how birds and dinosaurs are related genetically. The t rex is actually the bald eagle stalking the blue bird. Inspired when I was walking through the squares and I found a feather, followed by the decaying corpse of a bird. Something had attacked it. Funny where inspiration comes from. Heavy online resources helped me make the dinosaur shots/bird shots realistic.

For those just loving Crazyface...

I never put these up... thought someone would like to see em...

Hook update, just a couple of layers of Burn and Dodge, not to mention shadow. Nowhere near done but he's looking really cool.

Probably should eventually paste stuff up on deviantart?


Coming up is a chance for you to support local theatre,
that is if you're in Savannah. The Savannah Actor's Theatre in Savannah, GA is possibly being shut down. They need help in three ways,

One, donations which you can make on their website,
www.savannahactorstheatre.org

Two, if you or someone is a professional mechanic, electrician, or anything else that helps make inspections pass, ask them if they could go have a look, just to let officials know that this theatre is in tip top shape for running shows and more importantly holding people.

Three, come see their rendition of Clive Barker's CRAZYFACE OCT 17-NOV 4. Do I say that because I'm the lead in the show, because my opinion is biased, and I want to have as many people come and see it as possible? HELL YES. This is going to be an incredibly graphic show. I know that both Clive Barker and Neil Gaiman have been invited to the event. I invited also Alan Alda. Are any of them going to show??? Probably not, and who can blame em, this is a busy time for them. But they give the show their blessing and are deeply excited about how the run of the show turns out.


Don't know if anyone's read into this or not, but the official Peter Pan sequel is about to be released. Entitled, PETER PAN IN SCARLET.... not sure what to think, but oh well.

300 trailer was released this week, off of the official website, need I say, incredible.

Hook update. About an hour in photoshop. A good use of class time. Really not bad. Posted below is a great link for people new to Photoshop.
It teaches how you can paint in layers. Something I've been meaning to learn.

Andrew Meyer producer of such hit films like Better of Dead, The Breakfast Club, and Fried Green Tomatoes is helping me with the writing aspect on NEVERLAND. He's up on imdb

To the left is a sketch of Hook. I likes it.
