Elise Faulkner, mercenary, freebooter, pirate, makes her way through a galaxy on fire. The Astral Empire and their middlemen, the Uncharted Planets Monopoly, plunder the cosmos driven by their insatiable appetite for wealth and conquest. The company holds a dead kingdom's crown, a patriot will pay a fortune to those who aid him: a dangerous crew hired for a dangerous job, in a mad dash of gun smoke it all goes wrong. When pushed to her limit, does Elise have the skill, the cunning and the luck to survive?
"Full of sharp writing, big ideas and kinetic, action packed art; The Star Tide Shores is well worth your time."
DAN MCDAID, (Dega, Kneel Before Zod)
Yo these last pages were super chill but really interesting š Loved seeing the credits and backstory about Illuminated and Henry Goeldner gives a cool peek behind the scenes. The humor about their careers makes it feel personal and fun. The tease āElise Faulkner will returnā leaves you curious about the next chapter too. Itās a nice way to wrap things up while still hyping future stuff.
Question tho since Illuminated did the art and colors did he commission it himself or was it a friend helping out How did that collaboration vibe come through in the art?
@Dracygirlyy1: Thank you for the comment! Henry Goeldner commissioned me volume 1, but we're cocreators, so I did most of the work with the understanding that were was coownership and that meant it became less and less about the money.
Henry thinks the plots, writes the scripts and when the time come sfor me to draw, I have freedom to change stuff if I don't vibe with it, but we always discuss everything beforehand.
Thanks for sharing hat sounds like such a balanced and creative collaboration I love how much freedom you had to interpret the art while still working closely with Henry. It must be really satisfying to bring his scripts to life while adding your own touch
Btw work is happening on the new chapters what do you think about the new project?
