So it's a done deal. The term NETERS... as it relates to: graphic novels, novels, comic books, comic strips, comic strips appearing in magazines, series of fiction books, & story books... is now a registered trademark. Been a long time coming. All future marks won't take as long, but yeah... time to start rocking the R with the circle around it.

Oh... almost finished blocking out issue two of NETERS. I've got nearly the entire series wrote out. It's easy to simply follow the script, and block out each issue. It's becoming similar to writing novels where each chapter in a novel is an entire issue of a comic.

Back Online!

Indyplanet has resolved all issues. It's scripts are back online and I was able to access the pages listing NETERS issues 0 and 1. So click either image and snag your copy today. Thanks for your patience and your support!

Oh, and coming soon...

Indyplanet Hacked.

Over the past week or so, Indyplanet; the online store were issues 0 & 1 of NETERS is available for purchase, was hacked. The folks over at Indyplanet are cleaning the site up. The problem is that if you follow the link to the site, you will get a malware warning... you know, the red and gray rectangle that pops ups and warns you about going to a particular site, etc.

Anyway, we received notice that the problem for the most part has been resolved. Barry; the owner, states that the malware warning will remain active until the net police removes it. He also mentions to stay away from the Indyplanet site, and the ComicMonkey site until further notice. Ka-Blam is clean and back up. read more

You can still purchase issue 0; the Official Guide to the NETERS story arc, at comixpress. I'm still waiting for issue 1 to be added to their catalog. Thanks for your patience.

Received word that the Statement of Use application for NETERS was accepted by the examining attorney. That means the NETERS term as it relates to publications is protected beyond just the copyright. Been a long time coming... like three years. I may start using the R encased in a circle symbol going forward.

Issue 1: Monster Killer

AVAILABLE NOW AT THE FOLLOW ONLINE LOCATION(S)

I already said it in a previous post... I'm back into developing the NETERS story arc. With the above comic complete and ready for our readership, I've delved head-long into the NETERS novel. I plan to have the first draft of the novel complete before the end of the year. Ideally, I'd like to have it available before 2010 closes, but we'll see.

The next issue of the NETERS comic won't take anywhere near as long as it took this one to drop. I've got my routine down so stay tuned and watch me produce. I believe you will enjoy this particular arc... made some changes to the story along the way, but hey... it bees like that sometimes. With that said, issue 1 is on paper.

cifer-RA (high-science-entertainment)

- daathrekh publishing - — 2010-05-02T17:27:17-07:00

htp (peace)

In a week or two; if that long, issue # 1 of NETERS WILL BE available. With that said, I've had time to catch-up on my reading. One book in particular, got me wondering about the genre of speculative fiction that I do. Cifer-RA (high-science-entertainment). Cifer-RA is a term that I coined to describe the nature of the art in question. The book that got me thinking was written by Djada N. Medjay. His novel, Renpet. So now I'm on a quest. I want to locate other works that I consider to be cifer-RA. The following is a list; in no particular order, of comics and or graphic novels that I would put in the cifer-RA genre.

BiggaDreadnauts

The Horsemen

Jaycen Wise

Maatkara

Sannkofamen

The proof.

- daathrekh publishing - — 2010-04-21T20:52:01-07:00

htp (peace)

Received the proof and was very happy with how the book translated from computer-screen to paper. I made 5 changes and send the files back, so the comic will be available soon. First I'm going to order a copy for myself; wanna test drive the process before I make the official announcement.

The next issue of NETERS is at the printers and will be available soon. In fact, I'm waiting on the proof. Just need to see how things translate from screen to paper. Got some preview pages for ya'll.

Kindred Realms Begin to Emerge!

Don't want to repeat what I dropped on the main site, but still, just giving ya'll a heads-up in terms of what's going on at the various creative forums where I and other liked minded people build and inspire one another. I'm talking about Black Science Fiction Society. It 'blinked-out' for a few days. We... the creators who drink from it's waters, were in a panic. But it wasn't a 'blind' panic, it was the kind that generated insight. What does that have to do with NETERS... nothing... everything.

Folks are building e-mail/contact links. Vast ones. So in the future, we who walk the electronic halls of this forum or that forum, will have means for communicating and rebuilding. Science Fiction Society is back online, but in wake of future eventualities, so are new places to meet, build, and inspire -

Just five pages left! I was hoping to have Issue 1 available before April. Looks like it will be the second week in April before the book becomes available for purchase. I'm just glad to be nearly done with the comic. I'm itching to get back to the novel. Register to receive notification. Nuff said... I'm back to work.

Working...

- daathrekh publishing - — 2010-02-12T21:06:39-08:00

... coming soon. Like in a few weeks. Issue 1 of the new NETERS story arc!

Getting the look I want...

- daathrekh publishing - — 2010-01-26T00:11:16-08:00

Yes! I'm starting to get the look I want for the comic on a regular basis. Ya'll should know what these critters are by now. If not, then ya gotta get the official guide. Here
I still need to work on my overall technique, but I'm pleased at what I am able to produce thus far. I was worried for minute... but now it's all starting to come together...
I'm, thinking about getting my hands on one of these -

The Cintiq 12WX. This will really speed things up for me. For my needs, the price aint bad either. read more.

Issue 1 ... a new direction

- daathrekh publishing - — 2010-01-18T14:41:27-08:00

A few months ago, I mentioned that I was going another way with issue 1 of NETERS. Originally, I was going to basically re-publish the online arc. I've decided to pick-up where the online story leaves off. When issue one becomes available, I'll add a link to the online series. New readers will be able to read the joint that started it all, then snag the six issue story arc along with everyone else. After issue one drops; next month, I'm going to devote all of my creative energies towards finishing the novella (see pic below).

2010

- daathrekh publishing - — 2010-01-16T22:53:27-08:00

Just trying to get a feel of how the book is gonna look in my hands ... and yours, heh. Working my butt off to bring more cifer-RA to the world, ya'll.

Another trip around the sun...

Back on the rebuild...

- daathrekh publishing - — 2009-12-26T12:43:00-08:00

So I'm back on the rebuilding process. Yeah, I know ... was having big fun with Meshmixer (see previous posts). I'm definitely incorporating that application in my pipeline. Anyway, so I'm giving the characters from the NETERS story arc a make over. I'm on the Nommos now. I'm using a very good; and what I mean by good, is intuitive program called AC3D. My favorite modeling software was Hexagon, but it's all but impossible to use on an Intel Mac. Enter AC3D.

I found this application while surfing the web. I was looking for game creation software for the Mac. That's a story for another day. Anyway ... found AC3D and really got into it from jump street. I'm in the process of adding textures to the Nommos object/model.

I'm hooked on this software...

- daathrekh publishing - — 2009-12-12T19:14:35-08:00

... tricerasapien. This guy will make a nice foe for Sut'Dia!

I can't help but imagine a race of these beings (human head pig guy) ... highly intelligent, aggressive, and hell bent on taking over the world...

Pushing MeshMixer...

- daathrekh publishing - — 2009-12-09T20:23:14-08:00

... attached three goose heads, and two goose legs to a human frame...

Would you eat a rabbit goose? Okay ... it's back to work for me.

This program is badass

- daathrekh publishing - — 2009-12-06T14:48:09-08:00

So I found mention of the above application on cgtalk. Check the news section. It's called MeshMixer. It's one helluva piece of software!!!! I'm having big fun playing around with this app. Right now it's only available on the PC. I have a Mac Intel. I'm running VMware Fusion - this allows me to run Windows on my Mac. So I'm following some of the examples featured in the above demo. Gawd ... I see so many possibilities with this software.

... oh yeah, it's free!

Human head on rabbit; rabbit head on human ... heh ...

... mouth on forehead.

Okay this is hella dumb. I mean this brotha is a great actor. Love his work and all, but casting Idris Elba as Heimdall in the upcoming Thor movie is dumb. What the f$@k is going on in hollyweird? This is a Norse Mythology movie. What ... is the brotha supposed to be, a cosmic powered porch monkey / door man? This stinks. It's like casting white Egyptians... read more.

Getting a whole bunch of work done as of late. The style that I'm going for is pretty much on point. Kinda going for that flat, hard shadowed look. Oh yeah ... gone are the green boots for the Ma'atan Code. I plan on easing up on the green and pushing more of the red on the chest design too. Oh it'll still have the same motif, just tightening stuff up is all.

The Dreamer...

- daathrekh publishing - — 2009-10-16T22:56:23-07:00

When he was an artist, he painted the sun, moon, and stars. He wooed the most beautiful of women. He was a dreamer, an idealist who believed in the beauty and sanctity of life. But immediately following the inoculations he received in the Temple-Cities, Darajugaju Tem, would undergo an immediate and permanent change. He ... like so many others, would become a NETER. read more.

Yeah, I'm a sci-fi geek. I read comics and watch anime. In terms of power, I envision Darajugaju Tem on the level of the characters in the Dragon Ball Z series. I hate the series; I mean Mr. Bobo ... come on, but anyway, the shear magnitude of power displayed by creatures like Cell, and heroes like Goku, is off the charts. These guys shatter mountains by punching them, hurl energy balls that incinerate entire cities. That's how I see Darajugaju getting down. I have a side story; I have many, in which Darajugaju takes on several Ma'atan Code pods. Stick around...

The Capital...

- daathrekh publishing - — 2009-10-03T23:58:29-07:00

htp (peace)

In the NETERS story arc, the Capital city is Ra'den. The architecture is a combination of pre-colonial cities from all over Aru'mala (Africa). A modern twist on the stone monoliths of the western and eastern city-states, coupled with the pyramids of the northeast and the hapi (nile) valley, populate the same cultural geographical matrix. I envision Ra'den as a cosmopolitan megalopolis, leading Nahsu (the world), in technology and commerce. Ra'den is located 1000 het-meters north of the golf of Aru'mala.

In the upcoming novel, NETERS: Before the first time, in the temple cities located in the mountainous regions of Ra'den, the most important discovery of the series takes place...

COMING SOON...
