The Strange One: Odd Thomas [Nov. 4th, 2007|07:38 pm]

[Current Mood | complacent]

Odd Thomas: Long time no update - I've been real overworked. For the record, I'm still working on the single-volume "Odd Thomas" graphic novel (just finished chapters 4 out of 7), which now has a name - "In Odd We Trust". Dean Koontz came up with that name, and he's also writing a fourth "Odd Thomas" novel, to come out just before this graphic novel I'm working on. Yes, Dean Koontz's most successful trilogy of books is no longer a trilogy.

I promised long ago to write a lengthy description of the whole Dean Koontz-deal I'm working on, but I haven't done it yet. It's because up until the end of October, Dean was busy working on his novel(s) and didn't have time to approve the last chapter script. Now that the entire script has been approved, I can finally tell you who did what part of the work. But I'll save that for the big "Odd Thomas" post, which unfortunately is only coming out after volume 3 of "The Dreaming" in December.

The Dreaming: Yes, volume 3 is now coming out in December and not November. There's a very good reason for the 1 month delay - the folks at TOKYOPOP had something to insert in the back and it needed time to get approved. As for what's being inserted in the back of "The Dreaming" volume 3 - it's a SECRET (though lord knows, I've blabbed it to enough people already. Whoops). Anyway, I haven't yet posted up the chapter breaks, so here they are.

You can also preview the first chapter of "The Dreaming" volume 3 here. Enjoy!

The most impressive thing here, my dear, is the conceptual nature of the art. ♥

Really? That's so surprising. I haven't perused your stuff for very long (just the website in the past weeks and today, the journal) but that's one of the most striking things about your art. The design elements you incorporate. Sometimes the toning seems a little dramatic and "smooth" as far as my personal taste goes, but the concepts are always spot on. It's what I love the most.

Hello QueenieChan, it's me, Chelsea! First, I gotta say, the chapter covers are SO amazing! Especially Chapter 19! You really improved, great job! Also, I peeked at Volume 3, and I can tell it will be good. Can't wait to see it in December! Once again, great job! -Chelsea

Score! BTW- it'd be awesome if TP could do some larger prints or posters using some of your chapter title art.

Has Vol.3 gotten delayed again? I thought it was supposed to be out now, but it still hasn't shipped.... [unless the store goofed and didn't order my copy]

It's definately going to be out on the 18th December, so it ought to be out already in SOME parts of America. I don't know about other places - I have a feeling that the store goofed!! XD

Please let me know when you get it. I'll love to know what you think. There's a writing competition at the back too! :D

It hasn't shown up on Diamond shipping lists, so it could be that they aren't sending it out till the 18th, so things should be okay ^_^ Writing competition? Sounds intriguing!

Oooh, that's annoying, about the Diamond shipping list.
Anyway, I hope it shows up in the next Diamond shipping catalogue.

QueenieChan, you really are the Goddess of Manga Horror!

Thanks so much for the previews(the chapter images as well as the TokyoPop Chapter 1 preview). I can't wait till Volume 3 comes out!

I've been following the series ever since it very first started showing up in previews on the Tokyopop site, and I'm so excited for the final volume! It looks amazing!

Also... can I be president of the Evil Fairy King fanclub? :D

Hey, thanks! :D
And the evil fairy king is not as he seems... so you can be president of the club, but I won't name the club so quickly yet.

I've been following your mangas for a while now, and I must say The Dreaming is my favorite one of your works. The art style you chose for the series is both beautiful and captivating, with just the right mix of horror. I'm totally looking forward for Book 3. :D

Sadly, there's only going to be 3 books in the series. However, there's going to be a writing competition at the back of book3 (buy the book to check it out), so there will possible be more books (albeit in prose form).
