RUNESTONE GETTING PUBLISHED 2009!

Yep, it's been in the works for several months, but now it's official:

Elders of the RuneStone is being published by comics company Ape Entertainment!

Ape Entertainment was one of the publishers we met with during the San Diego Comic-Con back in July, and together we are very excited at releasing Elders of the RuneStone in comic stores nationwide!

The anticipated release schedule is as follows:

May 2009--A special 5-page RuneStone story (not available even in the regular series) as part of Ape's FREE COMICS DAY anthology, available for FREE!

2009--A special preview book filled with content and teasers for the regular series.

2010--Elders of the RuneStone is officially published as a monthly 4-issue miniseries. Depending on sales, the series is poised to go for much longer!

Further Repurcussions from San Diego Comic-Con

Sorry it's been so long since our last update, things have been quite crazy since the Big Show in CA. While we can't release any details yet, we have been approached by a few publishers we met at the convention...and let's just say we've never been closer to Elders of the RuneStone hitting the big time! It's very exciting for us, but until we get any official news, we can't say much more. Keep your fingers crossed!!

In the meantime, here's another set of character designs from the new Preview Book we flaunted at Comic-Con!

Success at Comic-Con!

Hey all, it's been an extremely busy last couple of weeks, but our efforts have paid off! Robert and I had a great experience at the big show in San Diego, visiting with other professionals and pitching Elders of the RuneStone to various publishers (when Robert wasn't busy at the IDW Comics booth and panel discussing the new G.I.Joe series, on which he is the artist). The preview book we put together (thanks to the tireless efforts of our amazing creative team) was a great success; everyone was really impressed and we've already gotten some great feedback from a potential publisher. So we are very excited about the prospects and what may come in the near future! We'll be sure to keep you all posted!

In the meantime, check out a couple of the new character designs that went into the preview book! More to come, and keep an eye out for the upcoming relaunch of www.RuneStoneComic.com!

RuneStone moves forward!

So in case you haven't heard, the musical of Elders of the RuneStone is not really happening. It was an April Fool's joke! That's not to say it will never happen...well, okay, it will never happen.

On the plus side production is again moving into high gear on Issue 1 and we are excited to have more material to show off soon! We'll keep you posted!

The regular www.runestonecomic.com site is under construction and will be for the next couple months in preparation for the Wizard World Chicago convention, so until then keep your eyes on this blog (http://runestonecomic.blogspot.com/ ) for regular updates as usual! Also if you are on Facebook look up the Elders of the RuneStone group and join up! We have been gaining members at a rapid pace.

In other news, RuneStone artist Robert Atkins has been interviewed by the Heroes Wiki for his work on the Heroes TV series web-comic on NBC.com. Check it out here: http://heroeswiki.com/Interview:Robert_Atkins.

Elders of the RuneStone to be Off-Broadway Musical!

Below is the official press release for this groundbreaking development. Please pass it on!

New York Observer, April 1, 2008:

Salt Lake City, UT—Utah-based company Mr. Wonderful Productions announced Friday, March 28, that its creative property Elders of the RuneStone has been optioned as an off-Broadway musical. The story of teenagers obtaining superhuman powers will be helmed by famed director Ivo Van Hove (The Misanthrope), with music and lyrics by ex-*NSYNC front-man Justin Timberlake. “I stumbled upon the website for the comic and was overwhelmed by the dramatic potential,” Van Hove said. Timberlake added, “After my acting career started to take off, I thought it would be great to be behind a production like this. The riffs I’ve created for this musical will really appeal to the young, hip generation. It will be totally phat.”

Elders of the RuneStone creator Quinn Johnson admitted he was “very surprised by the call.” “I guess I always pictured [Elders of the] RuneStone taking off as a comic and maybe a movie first. To be a musical…well, let’s just say it’s not what I expected.”

Co-creator Robert Atkins shared his own thoughts on the development. “I honestly think it’s a really terrible idea, and could ruin any chances of the story being taken seriously. But Quinn’s all for it, so I guess I’ll support him.”

The production will include performances by such renowned musical acts as U2, The Crystal Method, and Celine Dion. Timberlake has revealed titles such as “Never Thought I’d Be A Hero” and “Even Vigilantes Cry” as part of the song list. Elders of the RuneStone is slated for a December 18, 2008 premier at the New York Theatre Workshop, where famed musical Rent began its 12-year run.

The Steps to Creating a Cool Cover!

Quinn here. Today I'd like to give you all a little sneak peek into the process of creating a cover for Elders of the RuneStone, from inception to the final product. For the purpose of this article, I'm showcasing the cover for Issue #1, in production as we speak. For this piece you'll see Robert's magnificent talents as both penciler and inker, and Bob Pedroza as the colorist. This particular cover was a cool experience in that we were still in the process of finalizing the "look" of the book, including the character designs and the color schemes. It was very fun and both Robert and Bob were great sports, being very long-suffering with my constant needling and changing my mind until it fit the vision I had in mind (even when I wasn't always sure what that was).

Click on any image for a larger view.


My quick sketch for the initial layout idea. I wasn't so much worried about how good it looked as about giving Robert the basic layout and important details (you can see some of my notes). To be fair, I really can draw better than this!!


Working off my scribble, Robert knocked my socks off with this "hasty" sketch, returned to me within an hour. Man he's good!



Robert's final pencils, with everything cleaned up and detailed.



Robert's inks. Notice how much the spot blacks / shadows add to the three-dimensionality and mood of the piece. Also notice how he simplified the white pigment stripes on Monolith's face in the background, getting rid of the "old wrinkley" feel of before.



Here came the fun part! This cover was Bob Pedroza's trial by fire in whether we would take him on as our official colorist. As you can see, he did a tremendous job! He was very patient and cheerful as we kept giving him little nitpicky things to tweak, such as the color of Kat's jacket and Dain's shirt. Robert and I had a hard time deciding how the final color scheme of the characters should look, and Bob came through famously. His energy effects are amazing and really added to the power of the image.



And last but not least, the final image! Note the final "Go Team" logo that Bob added in the coloring stage. Also note the wicked bladed chains encircling the protagonists, foreshadowing a deadly foe to come...


So as you can see, creating the perfect cover is a multi-stepped process, with a lot of work put into each one. We follow a similar process with each drawn page of story, with Bob again taking our tweaks in stride. You can also look forward to Rick Ketcham's stellar inks on our interior art. As always, we look forward to hearing your comments and questions! Until next time!

Scanning Tutorial for Clean Line art

When I do a finished pencil drawing, I typically keep the drawing as clean as possible while drawing it. This saves in clean up time during the scanning process.

I do that by starting my under-drawing with a very light (hard) pencil lead. 4H Mechanical Lead Holder. After I have established the structure, perspective and loose details of the drawing I go over the drawing tightening every thing up with a darker (softer) lead. H Lead. In the past I've used 2H, but ended up drawing harder to get a nice dark line and was pressing grooves into the page. This just makes it hard to ink. Anything darker than 2H will be likely to start smearing as you rub your hand over the drawing, resulting in a general gray "haze" over the whole drawing.

TO AVOID SMEARING AS I DRAW, I place a piece of typing paper under my hand to cover portions of the underdrawing while working on it. Sometimes for pages I will even mask off, or tape pages together, leaving a window of just the panel Im working on open to draw. Then as I move to the next panel I re-tape my "mask" pages to leave the next panel open.This light underdrawing is the equivelant to using a blue line pencil or lightboxing a sketch from another page.

After working with Randy Green he had shown me that going directly to the board with a light pencil, it saves alot of time and helps keep the energy from your sketch directly on the page.So after I have used a darker lead and finished the pencil drawing, I scan in the drawing into photoshop.I do not adjust the levels in the actual scanning program. I just set the mode to gray, and typically scan everything in at 400 DPI. I scan everything so high, because even sketches might end up in a printed sketchbook later, and you can always downsize something. You cannot improve the quality of the scan though with out rescanning. So every file I have is usually a high-res and a "interenet-ready" size that is more manageable.

So I have the scanned image open in Photoshop. I enlarge the image to 12.5% or 25% to get a clear view of the line work. I then duplicate the background layer, so that I have two layers of the line art. I change the mode of the top layer to MULTIPLY. This will automatically make your drawing darker. And not just darker but you've doubled the range of grays in your drawing.

Here is the theory behind it, when you change the contrast or levels of your drawing, you are taking away the number of grays and making the line art darker and the white of the page lighter. When you start from your original scan you only have a certain number of gray levels throughout the file. When you mulitply that file, you are doubling that number of gray levels in your drawing. Basically creating twice as much information to start from. So after the top layer is set to MULITPLY, you flatten the image, and your drawing should look alot darker and the gray "haze" will increase. Now when you adjust the gray levels you are starting from a darker image and you loose less quality when you make the page lighter to eliminate the haze.

Generally I open the Level control under Image/adjustments/levels. or Cntrl L. I move the black arrow to the right and set to around 50. and move the white arrow to the left to around 225.

These numbers are very approximate, while I slide the arrows of contrast I am looking at the image to see the change that is happening. When moving the black arrow I look for the point when the line art is getting to a nice "readable" dark and when you go too far, making the smaller details too muddy. I move the white arrow looking at the white of the page and adjusting to the point where the gray "haze" is dissappearing and when I go too far and start to lose rendering details. So the numbers I mentioned above are subject to the these conditions of each drawing.

After I set the levels I have a more clear pencil drawing, sometimes nearly black line art.

RuneStone Soundtracks

Since the beginning, I've always conceived Elders of the RuneStone as both a comic book series and a movie series. (As a matter of fact, I've already written the screenplay for the first film adaptation.) Along these lines, I've always imagined what songs I'd like to be on the soundtracks that would really capture the feel for the story. Thus, over the years I've created a number of "RuneStone" soundtracks, complete with CD cover designs. I thought it might be fun to share these designs with you all, and let you see the music tracks I selected.

We'll post the image files shortly, allowing you to download them for yourself should you choose to create your own mix CD with the music listed. We'd also love to hear what music you'd like to see with the series! Email us at runestonecomic@gmail.com. Enjoy!

Click on any image for a larger view.




This is the cover for my first soundtrack idea, circa. 2002. I took a picture of a cracked sidewalk, edited out the cigarette butts, and add the blue metallic shine and shadows. Also notice the old RuneStone logo, before we add "Elders of the" to the title. The original back of the cover is not in the correct format to show here, but I've listed the tracks below:

1 - RuneStone Main Theme by Danny Elfman (at the time I used the Spider-Man main title theme)
2 - Push It by Garbage
3 - Discothecque by U2
4 - Comin' Back by The Crystal Method
5 - Go Go Dancer by Pizzicato Five
6 - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) by Dead or Alive
7 - Firestarter by The Prodigy
8 - Hey Baby by No Doubt
9 - Temptation Waits by Garbage
10 - Blue Monday by New Order
11 - Rolling by Soul Coughing
12 - Keep Hope Alive by The Crystal Method
13 - Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz
14 - RuneStone Closing Theme by Danny Elfman (actually the Sleepy Hollow closing theme)




Volume 2 of the RuneStone movie soundtrack, again with the old logo.



The soundtrack for the second RuneStone movie. Yes, I've got that planned too. I've actually got the script for the first three and a half years of the comic book series already written.




A soundtrack for random songs that would be cool in the Elders of the RuneStone franchise somewhere.



And just for the heck of it, a scary picture.

I've affectionally titled it "OH CRAP".

RuneStone, stars of ROCKBAND!

As evidenced by every cartoon of the 60's, there is one simple requirement of every hero team: to be in a rock band! (See http://youtube.com/watch?v=S-9xjGKhA2Y and http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail140.html if you need further evidence.) So without further ado, check out these pics of the Elders of the RuneStone crew in the game RockBand.

P.S. On a side note, I was perusing the Ninja Turtles website (www.ninjaturtles.com) and looked in their "Buy Stuff" section for back issues of their comic book. Lo and behold that Tales of the TMNT #31 (which I wrote) is one of the handful that is sold out! That's got to count for something in these parts! Just thought I'd share. :)

One variation of the band, with Zeniff (Adder), Kat (Catalyst), and Dain (Gremlin).



A second varation of the team with Kat (Catalyst), Scott (Gar), and Jenny (HardTap).



More group shots.











Scott (Gar) in the lead singer position (note the power stance).

Dain (Gremlin) up at bat.


Don't get in his way or he'll drum you to Kingdom Come!


Classic photo pose.
