24 Hours of Awesome - Hour 14: Old Eon Quest Ad

So this is one for the WAY back machine. This is an ad that appeared in my high school newspaper for the Eon Quest comic strip I did in high school! The characters and set-up were very different. You might POSSIBLY see more of this soon. ;)

The 24 Hours of Awesome will continue on Facebook, Twitter and here!

Don't forget to check out and pledge to support the Kickstarter, if for nothing else to just show support of the project!


24 Hours of Awesome - Hour 13: Lady Lune's Bioship

Another personal transport for a team member, this time it's Lady Lune's bioship. This is one of my favorites, to be honest.


24 Hours of Awesome - Hour 12: Lila's Star Runner

At the start of issue 1 of the mini-comic, all the heroes have their own individual vehicles (except Starbreaker, who teleports in.) I've previously show Alchemris's Star Chariot. Now it's time for Lila's Star Runner.

Lila was designed to evoke an old-style space heroine with her bubble helmet. Her Star Runner is similarly styled, as though it could have come from the sleeker feel of an old Flash Gordon comic strip.


24 Hours of Awesome - Hour 11: Blasterbow Detail

This is a detail drawing I did of the Blasterbow for my sculptor, to better define the look of it and explain how the multiple pegs would work so you had options of attaching the Blasterbow to the Magmoid.


24 Hours of Awesome - Hour 10: Interior, Cosmic Keep

This is a sketch I provided of Lord Eon's throne room for the artist of the mini-comic. I wanted it to be sort of grand and ethereal, befitting the ruler of an entire galaxy!


24 Hours of Awesome - Hour 9: Early Logo Concept

For Hour 9, here's a look at the early logo concept of the Eon Quest logo. I liked the general idea (which is actually taken from some concepts when I was a kid) but it was just a little too flat. It needed more dimension to really look like a logo that could have lived on an 80s toy line.


24 Hours of Awesome - Hour 8: Planning Materials!

This is the material plan, one of many documents that I prepared as part of the "RFQ" (Request for Quote) for the factories I looked into. The whole document covered each figure, packaging, etc. But this particular page is a break down of all the various parts of the figures. This was prepared before the sculpts of the figures were even done, so some details changed quite a bit in that process.


24 Hours of Awesome - Hour 7: Page 1

For Hour 7, there's an image of page 1 of the very first draft of the script of Issue #1 of the mini-comics. Some things definitely changed over the course of 4-5 drafts for each issue. You can see the draft is dated in late March. The scripts were written VERY early in the process.


24 Hours of Awesome! Hour 6! The Dark Ship

For hour six of the 24 Hours of Awesome (celebrating the last 24 hours of the Eon Quest Kickstarter) this is the reference image I made of "The Dark Ship" - a mysterious ship controlled by a mysterious enemy that you'll meet in the first five issues of the mini-comics.

24 Hours of Awesome! Hour 5!

The 24 Hours of Awesome (which began on Facebook and Twitter) continues here, at least while I'm sleeping. I'll let the bloggy robots that control the blogs blog the blog for me! Until I awaken tomorrow, that is!

Hour 5: This is the VERY rough sketch I provided, which was subsequently turned into the amazing artwork by Zid that graces the first issue and the packaging concept!


The Kickstarter is almost over! Tonight, the final countdown to the end begins. But, no matter what happens, it's not going to go out with a whimper! Starting at 7:30pm Central time, there will be some new THING once an hour until the end of the Kickstarter! Fun, silly, neat stuff (I'll let you decide which is which) to celebrate the final 24 hours. I'll be sharing them via Facebook, Twitter, and/or on the Blog.* I'll recap them all here in a future Kickstarter update, too.

*I will be sleeping (have to go into my day job tomorrow!) so the blog is where you can find the stuff posting while i'm sleeping since I can set that up ahead of time.

(Sorry, I can't provide with a preview, Blogger is being dumb right now.)


And, finally, the video update with a focus on the Magmoid and Magmoid Captain figures. In this one, I also let slip one of the figures planned for Series 2:
