MTIO General Update: More cool sketches from upcoming works (spoilers omitted)

Grinding!

MTIO General Update: Works From Upcoming Comics

Notes:
- Still polishing the panels on V, it's important to have that fixed, even minute details.
- 6 is the priority, continuing the main plot is my biggest concern.
- When E3R, Versus and Field Guide Entries pass a certain point, I'll lock in and finish them. The rotation keeps my sk...

MTIO: Progress drawings from upcoming comics

MTIO Archive: Cartoons

The original comics/cartoons, drawn in sharpie that laid the foundation for the Full Metal Brat cast and plotline

MTIO Versus Production Update

A collection of works that I'll composite into the final comic (spoiler free, but enough detail to describe the experience)

The context and narrative I think is a lot of fun, quite unexpected for Halo but very naturalistic. I got a pleasant surprise in store for you all.

MTIO: General Update

Aiming for an October release, rather than confuse readers by breaking episode V into parts. I'm just gonna do each update as Episode V, VI and such.

I strongly believe in the 15 page episodes keeping the comic easy to digest and it's the format that enabled this to be a manageable projec...

General Update: Final Panel vs Thumbnail

This is attrition at its hardest! Thank you for being here!

To be candid, the tough part, I can't spoil the surprise, I can't deviate from the course.

Berserk Forces Episode Zero Notes

- It takes place in 2549, the same year as Full Metal Brat.
- I needed to see if Berserk Forces was viable as a comic before I committed to it as MTIOs, next and last development.
-Still plenty of Full Metal Brat left, but FMB is shorter story than Berserk Forces.

- Some readers a...

MTIO: Episode III Revised Comparison

Episode IV and the first two episodes will get some polish too, for new readers onboarding with Episode V or Zero.

MTIO Versus: Krease (ODSTs) V Jane (ONI)

Context: For the training sequences and some fun insight into the Crossbones ODSTs I wanted to make a fictional martial art the ONI cast could learn from the ODST cast. Which culminated in a tournament (to which the reader saw this particular match).

The altered 'final version' of this sc...

MTIO (Archive): Orbital Drop Shock Troopers

The 'canonical' backstory for these works will be in Guide entries or seen from an original POV within the main comics.

MTIO: The Fighters (Impressions)

Uniforms, stances and screen tests for H2H sequences in Berserk Forces and Versus.

V/Z Plan: Action/Narrative Setpieces

(Temp Dialog)
These are from Episode Zero - the cinematic style of action is expensive. However it's fun to open with, and expedites later scenes.

MTIO: Spartan Illustrations

V/Z Plan: MTIO Hybrid Page Quality Test

Results of the new process. (Page 7 of Episode V)

V/Zero Plan: Angelika B294
