Jules, you are the undisputed Master digital rendering. The visuals of your episodes always grab the reader and are only matched by your fast paced writing style. As I've said before, I'm not very familiar with the background information of this series, but your episodes are still a treat due to the artistry behind them. Expertly done. Thanks for sharing!!!
-
Wow, once again you blend the best graphics with just excellent story telling Jules. I mean even your text bubbles wrap around ships and background details. You are probably the most meticulous graphic artist I have ever seen and I mean that in nothing but a complimentary way. The only bad thing about this is waiting for the next chapter. I can't wait to see her get underway.
I will try to leave better comments later, but expect me to share this all over the place. Thanks for sharing it with us Jules.

Once again I a blown away by the artistry on display here! You are also really drawing me in with this story line. I will comment in more detail later just had to let you know I really enjoyed this installment.
-
bloody hell ! that is unbelievably fantastic! you have spun a mastercrafted story and then sprinkled it with awesomeness!!
-
Thanks so much for your comments guys ! I know I keep saying this, but they really mean a lot.

How do you capture those vehicle images, HB? And just where did you learn to create such awesome, expressive 3d characters?! :O
Awe-inspiring, as always. The Homeworld series continues to impress on both a storytelling and technical level. Pats on the back all round!
-
Kualan,
I use a similar method to you to create the characters, instead of using Jedi Academy I use the EVE Online character creator. So there is an element of short-cutting shall we say...
-
Jules, I am so starting a podcast round-table on graphic fiction and would love for you to be the moderator for this for CAFN. I can get with you to work on dates if you are amenable.
Expect to see this on our front and facebook pages again in the coming weeks.
-
Shawn,
That would be great and Id be so up for it. Any opportunity to cast a spotlight on this forum would be a privilege.

Consider it done, perhaps we can even get in a skype call this weekend to select a date and who we want to invite onto the panel. There are quite a few talented artists on here I would love to talk with about this.
-
LOVE!!!!!! :P
Man I wish I had your skill set!
-
very cool!
-
Wow, Jules, that was well worth the wait. Everything feels just right in those panels. If the story wasnt so good, I would have a hard time prying my eyes away from the imagery.
-
Thanks folks for all your kind comments. Always appreciated.

Wow... I am a bit behind and just took the time to read all the current chapers so I'm up to date.. but now I'm torn, it's like waiting for the next awesome episode of your fav TV show. In a way, I wish I never saw this right now, and didn't see it till it was finished(why I like to wait till a whole season is on DVD before watching it, lol). But then again, I'm glad I did see this, so I could offer my support and if anything, help boost you to continue this till it's finished. Keep up the awesome work, can't wait to read the next chapter!!!

Thanks Joe.
It's funny your comment on being able to read the whole thing My kids and I have become hooked on the old Tom Baker Dr Who's recently, I just love it when the Doctor gets into a sticky situation and then the dramatic titles cut in, my kids go mad because they want to see what happens, I say no, you've got to wait till next week, as that's how they're meant to be seen. The effects are crap , the sets are crap but the kids can't wait for the next wpisode as the stories are good.
I am now working on the next chapter, so hopefully it won't be too long....
Really glad you took the time to read and comment.

This is amazing Julian, you always impress!

Jules,
I apologize that it has taken me this long to read this chapter. Once again an amazing chapter! I am really loving that this is a totally new story outside of the Star Wars Universe. Not having a clue or a background story connected with your photonovel makes every scene mysterious! The pictures are just amazing! I always wonder at how many hours it takes you to put together one chapter. You've probably perfected your skills to the point of knowing short cuts and such, but just the quality of the work makes me think that each chapter would take 3 to 4 months of full time work to put together. I'm not sure where exactly you would like to take your graphic skills, but you should seriously send a resume and portfolio of your work to some of the major animaition companies. Your photonovel has the quality work of the Final Fantasy movie or the Matrix Final Flight of Osiris.
Also, I am very intrigued on where the plot is going with connecting a human with the Mothership's core. It almost has a Matrix or Battlestar Galactica hybrid feel to it (and man do I love the BSG Sci-Fi series)!! I've got some feelings/ideas about a female being linked to the "Mother Ship," but I'll reserve those comments for later chapters and see if maybe you head in that direction. Luckily for me, this time, I don't have to wait for the next chapter to come out because it's already posted!!
Your friend,
Jason
