I've finally finished my book Soulless Voodoo Guy. This is the written book as opposed to the graphic novel, but this is the same story as what the graphic novel will be. After 9 years on and off re-writing it countless times I've at last come to a point where I'm happy with it. I'm not sure how many hours it's taken, but I'm certain it's well over a thousand.
I've ironed out the story and streamlined it. Every sentence of the book has been scrutinised. Originally I wrote the story as a basis for my graphic novel, but that was taking too long and I felt that the story I had was too good to have sitting around until I eventually finish the graphic novel, so I decided to re-write it into a proper book in its own right. The graphic novel will get done eventually.
I truly believe that the story I have is original and I don't think there's anything else out there like it. There were a lot of aims I set myself with regards to the book and I won't say what they are here because that would spoil it, but I think I've achieved them. One thing I will say is that I've tried to make it timeless and I've stayed away from including anything which will date it. I also think that it doesn't fit into any particular genre or category.
I've put it on Amazon, link below:

Book
I've been a bit slow on the art front lately. Truth is I've spent a lot of time writing my book recently. I've just finished my fifth draft of Soulless Voodoo Guy, but it's still not finished yet and I don't know how many more drafts it will take. Until I can read it and not want to change anything it's not done... I was busy re-writing it when I was drawing Page 11. The art won't stop, however it has temporarily taken aback seat while I focus on my book. I really want to finish my book and make it the best it can be. The art will take priority again once the book is finished...
Splash Page finally done!...
So I finally finished my splash page, something which I first thought about doing over two years ago when my good friend Andrew Reed gave me the idea of doing one. It didn't take me long to figure out which scene to use for the splash page, but getting it onto paper the way I wanted it, that was a task which would end up taking much longer...
The scene comes from the final chapter of my Soulless Voodoo Guy book. I thought it would be a good scene to use for a double page because it involves nine Trip characters who follow Soulless Voodoo Guy so there's plenty to draw.
I wanted to have a composition which used the space well and had detail a
