Promoting Visual Literacy through Sequential Storytelling.

"Ko taku reo taku ohooho, ko taku reo taku mapihi mauria."

My language is my awakening, my language is the window to my soul.

Comrade Hero is the nom de plume and namesake of my signature superhero character, and the creative project that I have been actively working on since 2008.

My goal is to create, produce, and promote Comrade Hero, a bilingual English and Māori science fiction and superhero themed series set in and around Antarctica, Australia, and Aotearoa/New Zealand.

The Comrade Hero series will involve production of both print and digital comics that will incorporate multimedia enhancements such as multilingual capabilities, voice acting, narration, sound effects, and music.

The aim is to promote literacy skills development and encourage Māori language exposure through the Comrade Hero series - engaging the reader in an entertaining reading and listening experience.

The Comrade Hero series will initially be published in English and Māori, but will have the capability to support additional languages like Mandarin Chinese and Russian.

The reader will be able to display the words and listen to the story solely in English or Māori, or decide to display the words in Māori, but listen to the story in English (and vice versa).

Readers wanted! Players needed! Villains, heroes, grab your cape, dust off your stretchy pants, and level a city block or two in a titanic struggle in the name of truth/lies, justice/greed, and the American/Underworld way!

Never heard of a comic called City of Zeroes. Quite of few of my other accounts use my real name, only one's that don't are Facebook, Twitter and previously deviantART.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Antonia. Appreciate the support. I'm currently having environmental concept art completed by :iconbigbwana:, while :iconyamao: is busy working on the pencils of the first ten sample pages. I aim to make submissions for contestable arts funding here in New Zealand in June/July. Even if I'm not successful in those rounds, I'm still progressing my project forward and will have the necessary supporting material to consider a pitch, or to go down the self-promotion/publish route. :D

Nicely done. Only minor color corrections. Comrade Hero's gloves, boots and belt (not buckle) should all be black, Comrade Hero should have a black face mask with glowing red pupil-less eyes. :D

The gloves and belt are a dark grey so that details from the line art and shading can be made out. The gloves have the light from the fists on them giving that orange tint. Fixed the eyes and mask though!

I hope the moves goes well, Comrade. I know what a pain they are. (Stopped counting after the 36th move.) Glad to hear that thinks are back on track, even if it is a slow-moving cart. ^.^

Been a pretty rough couple of months - back to back academic assignments in different courses, and a house move in the next month or so. And finally resolved the issue of an absentee pencil artist and have decided to work with a new one. Spent a lot of time updating, rewriting, and editing material and references. Aim is to get material ready for contestable arts application in June. Also following Mark Waid as he moves into digital comics. So once again it's a matter of slow and steady (and passing on commission offers so I can save my pennies). ;)
