So these 3 winners are going to get to choose book 1 or 2. I’ve already contacted you by email or facebook. So send me your address and your selection, and I’ll send them out tomorrow.

Joost Haakman

The thing that stood out to me with this one was the mood. Also, this is a scene that hasn’t happened yet! It tells a story and captures the characters really well. Rin especially looks  like he’s showing off his tough ninja skills in this pose.

Jose Sebastian G.L.

Mao usually doesn’t rage this hard, but there was so much care put into the chains and the pillar, and the shaping of the hair that I had to recognize this one. The energy is undeniable!

Andy Genen

Andy is practically a master of capturing gesture and attitude in his characters poses.  The expression on Arn’s face is priceless.

For everyone that participated, again I want to thank you! Seeing all of your different styles and interpretations, you’ve made the characters even more “real” to me.

At the last moment, we had a few more entries!

It’s not really an art contest so much as it is just that I’d like to see some fan art. You could draw anything relating to Twilight Monk and if it’s a really cool idea or drawing, you could win with that! Just have fun with it, and at the very least, get your work posted on the site!

If your artwork is chosen, I will personally send you a message requesting your address and ship off a signed copy of Twilight Monk book 1.
How do you draw Twilight Monk? Well watch this new video and find out!

And I made another youtube video about how I make pages for comic books.

Ill have some Twilight Monk and Creed and other stuff there too.  Bring your babies if you want me to sign them, poke at them, or sing to them. I do all of those things!

Oh, there may or may not be posters resembling the following image at the show!

-Trent

Back then, I didn’t really know how to use photoshop, and I had no understanding of how to clump details for readability.  The sprites for the TM game are going to have to be a lot simpler, so details like you see in this character would just turn out looking like mud.

EBAY LINK

ALSO of note: I’ve been making little additions to the site. You can expect a lot more upgrades to menus, new features and more frequent updates for a while!

That pic is FO RILL.

Also you can pick up a Poster from the ebay shop next week. So I’ll see you then!

I’m going to be posting updates every week to show you the latest developments, and ask for your feedback.  At present, what you see in these screenshots IS a playable, but there is no combat, or AI in the enemies yet.  Presently Mao can jump, run, and idle.  I have the movement where I want it for now. But like I said… this is a LONG way from being a full game experience. I’m learning A LOT doing this, as I’m coding the entire thing myself AND making all of the assets.
It’s being built in HTML 5 so I should be able to post a playable test realm which I can update regularly for you to play around in (in theory). That should be ready in the coming weeks if its going to happen. If not, then I’ll have videos.

I want for you to be there, through it all. As I stumble around trying to learn things that I’ve never done before and then pull off something (hopefully) pretty damn cool. I’ve been making games for 11 years, and did comics for 9 years previous to that, but my dream was always to make indie games and indie comics.
Speaking of which… The Twilight Monk Webcomic is continuing soon as well! The script is coming along nicely, and I’ve got about 14 pages roughed out. You can expect to see new pages rolling out starting in a couple of months at the latest. In the meantime you’ll have to settle for updates on the game and new character concept art/design notes/sprite animations and other cool stuff relating to the game and its development.

Please be patient with me on this. It’s a HUGE undertaking, and I’m doing concept art for League of Legends  right now also.  So I’ve got my hands full!  I will be very curious to read your comments on how the game looks right now. Be harsh, be critical, post paint-overs, or throw design ideas at me. I will try to incorporate everything that works within the core gameplay of the design.

Here are some of the sketches that people have received for purchasing the book directly. I’m so grateful for each and every person that purchases the book. If you check back, I have a very exciting announcement regarding the future of Twilight Monk coming soon! -Trent

I will be offering a signed edition “with doodle” through my ebay store in a couple of weeks for $13 if you have the patience.

This book is the culmination of many years of planning and dreaming for me. It is only the beginning of what I hope to achieve with Twilight Monk.  Your support in purchasing this book is what keeps it going!  I’ve tucked a few extra never before seen images in this book as well so that you’ll have bragging rights over your friends that didn’t buy it:)

Thanks again for all of your support! I’m scripting book 2 right now and plan to start releasing pages once I feel that It’s ready.

-Trent

My logic is this: If I can create environments for billion dollar franchises… over and over again, well then it should stand to reason that I can somehow put those billions of dollars in my OWN selfish pocket!

Ladies and gentlemen… I give you…
