Digital Shorts on iPad test drive

Posted on June 16, 2010 by mohaps

So we spoke about the Digital Shorts last time around and that they were designed to be viewed on devices like iPad, Kindle etc. So today we test drove the Digital Short #1 “REMASTER” (art by Sid Kotian) on the iPad.

As you can see, we chose the so-called “Zuda Format” for the digital shorts, because it is better for viewing on a digital reader (iPad, Kindle etc.)

And, even if I must say it myself, the results look damn freakin’ cool .

Following up on teaser I posted earlier, here’s another one done with a slightly more “euro” style. The images used are from interior art by Vivek. As usual, your comments/crits are most welcome.

Also in other news, good things are happening vis-a-vis MC in a medium other than comic books , more on that when we are allowed to share.

In case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the chapter 1 preview

“ENCOUNTER” – New Art for MC

Posted on May 25, 2010 by mohaps

MC uses multiple timelines and intersecting narratives (a homage to Tarantino’s “chapter” based storytelling as in PULP FICTION or KILL BILL). The first timeline uses a high contrast b/w style as you’ve seen in the previews. Vivek just turned in some work on the other timeline and it looked so fabulous, I had to share it with you.

I shall be updating the site later with the new character explorations and concept art.
