http://www.knightseeker.com/
This is a photo (Macro Lens) teaser of pg 7

I also worked with Eric on The cover of his last book Knighjt Seeker 2
As well as several other Seeker projects. New videos posted in the Video page.
Worked this bad boy up last night.Small small changes to the
Sword and added a scar on the ground , like he is drawing a line in the sand.This is just a Character sketch to work out some problems/design issues. I was up to pg 8 and needed the Spycon Character to be in next frame. Thats when i realized
I didnt know what to draw. 3 Hours later (The Spycon Race was Born at 1:04am Friday the 13th 2009)
Bio on Spycons

A Spycon is a humanoid type of spider species.
Their home planet Spyconia is in the Milky Way Galaxy
The Spycons are one of the oldest races of civilizations.
Their culture and society was highly advanced in the sciences and the arts. Until the time of galactic war came from the other neighboring systems that wanted control of Spyconia’s underground mining facilities which were filled with high powered energy crystals.
The planet was ravaged for years, and the Spycons decided to train a league of warriors to protect Spyconia. They were trained to be the most lethal of warriors in the Galaxy.
Once the order of the Seeker’s was established their main mission was to establish peace through out the Milky Way Galaxy. Through time the other neighboring races had their best and finest warriors join the League of Seekers.
UPDATE TO SEEKERS:
Changed the mouth to a lizardish. ANd changed the eyes .
less Aliens looking. Added Loincloth and Belt for Weapons
and such. The Spycon is transporting to this location from across the Galaxy. The pieces of ground are floatin up with bubble effect. Seeker is going to get his A$$ handed to him.
I am having 3 of these Spycon Attack Knight Seeker.

Omicron - the Greek letter ?. Omicron is frequently used to designate the thirteenth star in a constellation group, using a combination of magnitude and position.[1] Stars with the omicron designation include Omicron Andromedae, Omicron Ceti, and Omicron Persei, which is well-known due to its use in science fiction, including Star Trek and Futurama.

When coming up with this guy. mmmmm I think I needed a Snowshadow type to lead the Security Force - Black River
Founder and CEO Derrick King. I’m playing off the Eric Prince of Blackwater. Derrick will be a Type of robot.
Derrick King will never be. Just countless robots doing his dirtywork. Omicron will be the bad ass swordsman to fight it out with Knight Seeker. Later in the story…..
This is the only other main character i am using from Mr Coopers World.

[Mee]

Usually someone hyping their original comic character on the Hype is something of a disaster. *cough* GhostRider87 *cough cough*

But your art is actually really well done, kudos.

I do pencils, but I'm an amateur. Yeah, when he mentioned it to me I was like, "What!? Really!? That's awesome and its about time!" I'm working in slow motion on some character development with him, but seeing your work has inspired me. I look forward to meeting you eventually.

Memoirs of Agent FADE

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, that’s the motto. Like most mottos though, it’s nothing more than empty hype and pretty words. I mean think about it, Disney Land’s the happiest place on Earth, unless of course you’re standing in the hot blazing sun waiting in line for 40 minutes with a bladder full of Goofy Juice just waiting to take a piss. That kind of image just never makes it onto the brochure.
I’m not here for the fun though, all work and no play I’m afraid, here on business. I’ve been with Sector 51 for about four years now. I’ve seen **** that would make George Lucas say “Aww, why didn’t I think of that?” Monsters and Aliens and Lasers, oh my. With new contacts comes new dangers. New chances for secrets to leak and trinkets to lose. That’s why I’m here.

“Hey” the Blackjack dealer interrupts me. “You should come have a seat, take advantage of the lack of action at my table. You look like you can stand to lose a few bucks.”
I could, company credit line. That’s not why I’m here.
“No thanks, I’m doing just fine.” I say back.
The dealer doesn’t quit.

“You know, you should probably take a minute out of your search and have a seat. People will get the impression that you’re more of a discerning gambler and be less likely to make you for a Fed.”
The way this guy looks at me, he knows what he’s doing. I guess they train these guys to know what buttons to push, the psychology of the mark. Within just a few moments he’s already made me for an agent. Not bad. I guess I’ll play along.
“So tell me” he says as he shuffles the deck. This guy IS good. I’ve never seen a hand move that fast. Before I can say a word I’ve got an Ace high to his seven. “what brings you to Vegas?”
I thought this guy already had all the answers… and I’m right, but strangely he’s lulled me into an unnatural sense of comfort. I’m talking two shots and a joint comfortable.

“As you’ve already guessed, I’m looking for something, something hot. Last good lead put it right here in Sin City.” My God, why am I telling him this? As I look at my flipped card, it’s not a face or a 10. I guess our banter continues.
“Are you the kind of man who always finds what he’s looking for?
“I’m the kind of man that does everything right on the job and everything wrong at home.” He’s got a smile like he understands, he’s got a look that says he’s in control.

“So how will you go about finding this item of interest? How big are we talking?”
“Physically? Smaller that a breadbox. Value, it’s priceless. It’s like nothing anyone on this world has seen before.” Flip the cards, I stand at 20. Gotcha.
“Well then you’re not going to find that through any fences.”
“No? Why’s that?” Come on, flip that card. I win.
“You can get money through a fence, but something like that, something so unique, so… alien.. you don’t sell something like that for money. You trade it for power. You use it to up the ante at a high stakes game with the most powerful men in the world. Men who seek to rule the world. A game of the sort that I am dealing this evening. I could deal you in if you’d like.”
I watch him deal another card to himself. Seven. Bust? He smiles at me as he flips his card. Three sevens! Son of a *****!
“Dealer has 21. What are the odds you ask? Did I cheat? Three sevens, that’s a little hard to accept. If it’s not luck, and it’s not science, that can only leave magic, Agent Forster.”
What’s this guy’s game? What angle is he playing? Can I possibly trust him? How far down the rabbit’s hole can I follow before I can no longer climb back out? “I don’t believe in magic.”
“Of course you don’t. I’d like you to meet a friend of mine, she’s a regular good luck charm. Destiny, I’d like you to meet David. He’s been invited to tonight’s game. Be a dear and make sure he doesn’t get lost along the way.”
Again with that smile, that smile of a million bucks, that smile that gets him anything he wants. And who is this? Hello legs, I know this is all kinds of wrong but why does it feel so right.
No, I will not fall into this trap. I will stand my ground.
“Hello David, it’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Don’t worry Alistair, David and I will go. We’ll go…… all the way.”
Hello legs, goodbye wedding ring, I’m going to Hell.


It’s been quite the day, yet somehow it’s flown by so fast. It’s now been several hours since I met Alistair. In that time I’ve seen the sights, I’ve gotten a whole new wardrobe and spent the better part of an hour in my room doing things with Destiny that I’m sure to lie about for the next year or so in couple’s counseling. Now I’m all dolled up and ready to go. Lead the way Barbie.
Two burly men standing at the doorway, look a little like the bastard children of an escaped zoo gorilla, about as pleasant too. They’re looking at me like I just **** in the pool but here comes Alistair. Warm smile, firm handshake and I’m in. The gorilla men go back to eyes front, dreaming of bananas and professional wrestling.
“David, it’s good to see you again! Come in you’re right on time. I trust by your swagger that Destiny took good care of you. Come have a seat, we’re ready to start.”
Alistair is one smooth guy as he leads me in. No introductions, he just seats me at the table next to a couple of foreigners in swanky clothes. Two seats remain empty, one obviously belonging to the dealer, the other…. Destiny? Very interesting, again I have to ask what’s his angle? It just now occurs to me as I lay my chips on the table that I wasn’t frisked. Exclusive guest list, exclusive indeed.
Funny thing, I cannot help but look towards Destiny with a hint of a childish smirk every time I hear the word ‘poker’ and every once in awhile I can sense that she looks back. I think to myself ‘I feel like one of those movie secret agents. All I need now is a martini, shaken not stirred.
“A drink sir?”

Hmm, I need to pay a little more attention, I never noticed the waiter enter the room, or had he been here the whole time? I know this may sound crazy but maybe he only exists because I wanted a drink? Perhaps I should test that theory, get a little more creative. I don’t know, something like a troop of acrobatic midgets.
Right at that moment I hear a voice in my ear as clear as can be. ‘They prefer to be called Little People’. I look around the room in a panic, but the only gaze I find is from Alistair, and he is across the table. This whole day has been weird, but now I think I’m going nuts.
Several hands later, I’ve won some and lost some. Bottom line is I didn’t make any big wins but I’ve managed to stay in the game. My eye is constantly drawn to Destiny all night. The word ‘bust’ comes to mind repeatedly, but it looks like this time it’s a description of her situation, not her figure. She leans back in her chair, not leaving the table but pulling herself away from the current action. The shifty looking man to my right has my attention now, in his little cowboy string tie and his tight round little Ben Franklin glasses. He’s sweating profusely; he has been this whole hand. He’s out of chips too but he’s not done. He reaches under the table and pulls up his briefcase. From it he takes a velvet bag. Inside the bag his hand finds a small baseball sized item. It glows bright, bright like the sun. A warm golden glow fills the table as he releases it from his grip and it remains there, floating four inches from the table. I don’t know exactly what this is, but it’s a sure bet that this is what I’m looking for. A quick glance at Alistair says the same thing, but if he’s looking for this too, then why would he invite me along? Did he need a challenge? Is this a game to him too or just a pissing contest?
Destiny breaks the silence as she lays a stack of papers neatly folded upon the table. “If we are going to accept non money stakes then I believe I too have an ante.”
The little man scoffs at her and asks “What exactly is that?”

She opens the paper and holds it up for all to see. I’m a dead man.
“These papers identify that man right there to be an agent of Sector 51 and he is here to take you all in!”
That is when chaos erupts. Shouting and shoving, mostly aimed in my direction. It could be a beat down, but I’m trained for this, bring it on. When the doors slam open the gorilla men make quick work of things, beating down anyone who puts up a fight. That’s when I get the first chance to look back at the table, and there he is, Alistair, not looking at me, reaching for the orb. Could I be this stupid? I was never a challenge, I was a goddamn distraction! He’s saying something as he reaches towards it. Is he chanting? Doesn’t matter, winner takes all and I am NOT going home empty handed!
I break free and rush the table. With all the panic and testosterone it slides away easily. The orb however, remains stationary, floating gently in the air. I reach for it, my arm extended as far as it will go. I see Alistair’s gaze shift momentarily towards me, but he’s not smiling this time. I can hear Destiny screaming in the distance but her words are lost to me in the moment.
Our hands reach the orb at in the same instance. My smug smile meets his scowl. I really have to work on my ego. As the orb begins to heat up I find I cannot remove my hand from it. This is the moment I finally realize that something is very wrong. We tug at it like a couple of spoiled children, but finally the light is too intense and I am overwhelmed with heat. I feel as if my skin is filleted from my bones, fire surrounds me as my muscles boil. I open my mouth to scream but I find that I already am. The last thing I think I see is Alistair being blown away, flesh first.
I awaken. It seems like I have been out for an eternity. The scene before me says otherwise. I see police and security. I see the burned bodies of the people I played with, poor Destiny. Not so pretty now.
“Sir, according to security two people are missing, the dealer and one of the players.”
“Thanks lieutenant, I want you to find them on the security footage and ID them. I want their faces all over the place!”
I look at the blood and chunks of flesh on the walls and chuckle to myself “too late, our faces are already all over.” Sarcastic bastard even in death, but I’m not dead. I am here and I am aware. I step away from the shadows and everyone looks my way. I freeze in panic, and they all look away. I am real, I am alive, yet a shadow of my former self.
I don’t really know who Alistair was, and I don’t know what he did. I can’t even really imagine what that orb was but I do know this, things are about to get very interesting for me. This is the end of the story of David Forster, and the beginning of Agent FADE.

I first would like to Welcome our new writer Keith Thomas to the KS-Staff. Here is the Outline that Keith came up with for the first 3 issue Arc.
It is a rough outline he will use to script out the issues. Hes got his work cut out for himself. I gave him a half finished Project with alot of holes in the story/concept for the Arc. Keith has really brought this story together, Thank God. It has a flow i am really diggin now. Now I can't wait to get the second half started for issue #1.
Issue 1: The mysterious Agent FADE brokers a deal with the notorious mutant known as Sting to capture the heroic Knight Seeker. Sector 51’s Spycons aggressively seize Knight Seeker and then reveal a double cross when abducting Sting as well. As Sting is taken away, Agent FADE quickly joins him to stow away on the space ship. Knight Seeker puts up a fight but after having his compass viciously removed, he falls to the Spycons and Omicron and is taken away to a ship.

Issue 2 : Knight Seeker finds himself locked in a mass cell with different alien species. An alien woman named Amara (translates to meaning Unfading) takes an interest in him but finds him to be broken in both body and spirit. Sting in the mean time discovers that the point of their abduction is to further their scientific research to develop the Alpha Seeker, the ultimate Seeker. Agent Fade appears to Knight Seeker and explains that his situation is only temporary and that his abduction was a necessary tool for him to retrieve he will set something. Amara is taken away for experimentation leaving KS to ponder his life. Sting escapes his captors when the ship mysteriously loses power.

Issue 3: Sting fights his way through the ship as prisoners and experiments escape. He finds Knight Seeker and forms an alliance to get home. Agent FADE appears with Compass in hand and makes KS promise to send him home. Once he does, KS insists on freeing Amara before they leave. When they reach the lab, she is trapped in one of many glass experiment tubes. The tubes begin to shatter as experimental Seekers escape and fight KS thinking him to be their enemy. Amara fights him until he reveals his identity to her. Just then the ship shakes violently and the viewing window shatters, sucking Amara out into Space. Knight Seeker desperately tries to save her, piercing her with his spike bones but the pull is too strong. Sting tries to convince him that it's no use, he can't save her, but he can open a rift port and save them. Sensing the same thing, Amara unleashes her sonic sword and slices the spike bones, leaving herself plummeting rapidly towards the
planet. Compass opens a rift port and takes Nygel and Sting home safely, but with much to think about. Back on Earth, Agent FADE meets with a couple men in an alleyway. He hands them a case and they hand him a case which glows red at the seams. He opens it and sees a glowing jeweled scepter head. He is asked about it and hje says “We are square. Good Day gentlemen.” In the meantime, Amara climbs out of a smoldering crater on the debris riddled surface of the alien planet, cut, smoking, bleeding and her Seeker costume a wreck. With a deep breath she restores herself to full health. She looks to the stars and says " I'm coming home." The End
Here are some quick 1st thoughts/thumbnails for the Covers.Ill post these as they come along , plenty of time for that.

Scanned this morning:

My Printer, spitting out the first draft of Knight Seeker Comic.*********** *************************************
Knight Seeker - FIRST THREE PAGES
Issue 1 Sneak Peek - written by: Keith Thomas
Page 1 – 4 panels laid over top of a backdrop panel.
BACKDROP PANEL: Derick King walking up stairs of an office building followed by his Pailin
KING: We are heading to our contact point with Agent FADE now. We handle this correctly and that contract is ours. That is good business for us all.
PANEL 1: Derick ***** gun.
KING: Don’t get over zealous here, this is only an act. Keep those choppers at least a mile out until we are ready. Park the vehicles around the south side of the building for cover.

OMICRON VOICE ON PHONE: We are on target, we can see the city lights from here sir. We will be ready.

PANEL 2: Derick and associate rounding the stair railing.
KING: Excellent. This is a simple one act play, he will walk right into our trap, no need to force it. Oh, and Omicron? Do keep in mind that I have put you in charge of millions of dollars of new equipment, do take care of it.
Female Sidekick: Sir, how do you know for sure that he will fall for it?

KING: He is a hero, tried and true. No hero can resist a damsel in distress. Besides, there are always back up plans. I have taken care of my end, Agent FADE is responsible for his.
PANEL 3: Derick turning door knob.
Dialogue Box: My name is Agent FADE, obviously not my birth name, not my original birth at least. I am an operative of Sector 51. Secrets, conspiracies, aliens, yeah, you get the idea. What it really means is that with the right paper work, I can pull from various resources.
PANEL 4: Derick walking down the hall.
Dialogue BOX: Some elements are extremely combustible when brought together. I guess I’ve always enjoyed playing with fire ever since I was a kid.
OMICRON PHONE MESSAGE: Sir, we are in position. Standing by awaiting further orders.
King: You will have company shortly. Until then, stand by.

:arrow:

PAGE 2-3
Double splash of penthouse with 3 floating panels.
Panel 1: Derick and Fembot entering room.
King: Don’t worry. Agent FADE assures me that this will be a smooth operation… ooh, Appletini Martini’s!
Female Sidekick: I don’t like Agent FADE, he strikes me as shady.
DIALOGUE BOX: I’m playing this one a little close. With these elements together, a war profiteering puppet master, a violent kleptomaniac mutant and an alien powered self styled super hero, this is about to get real hot and I just might get burned.
BACKGROUND PANEL: Sting stands behind the bar as Agent FADE looks out the window, his back to the entering Derick King and Fembot.
King: Agent FADE, I am surprised to see you here. I figured you to be a behind the scenes schemer, not an open voyeur.
Agent FADE: Mr. King, I see you’re programming them with humor now. Very nice. Next time maybe you should try tact.
Sting: Who the hell is this? What’s going on? You told me I was getting paid to knock Knight Seeker around, and now you’ve got GI Joke surrounding the building under the command of President Colbert here and some chick that looks like a lawyer while I’m just here twiddling my thumbs and helping myself to the bar.
Agent FADE: Patience Sting, your part in this whole scenario will be spelled out in time.
PANEL 2: Helicopter pilot
Pilot: Sir, we in position and awaiting your orders sir.
PANEL 3: Panned view of 3 approaching helicopters.
MESSAGE: Move in.
Pilot message: All birds in formation, we are go.
Bottom Left Dialogue box: I reserved the top floor penthouse of the tallest building in Trenton. Nice view here on floor 17.

So my fine writer Keith Kong is writting like a mad dog.
He's a Juggernaut. Just got the last 11 pges in Panel format.
The first 11 pges were penciled before his start on the project. He picked this beast up fixed all the holes i build , cleaned it up. Now its nmy turn to get some work done.
Did some Sequential Block layout done last night.
pg 12, 13, 14,& 15, Finished the rest later that night.

Time to sharpen the pencils & get cracking.
This is a legend from the history of the planet Diveria. This is the planet that Amara comes from. She is an alien who meets Knight Seeker in issue 2. This was written for a few development angles. I just can't tell you right now because it might spoil story development to come.
This is the legend of the unification of the people of Diveria.

The Legend of Shian’Kar

Many a harvest ago the world of Diveria was filled with various creatures. Through the ages these creatures evolved. In each region of the world another race developed. In the mountains, the Shunes evolved from the birds in the sky. In the sea the Anuus evolved from the fish. On the plains the great hunting cats grew to be called the Mahees, mostly evolved from the tigers and lions. The Knums ruled the hill country, descendants of the Ram. All lived in harmony because all kept to themselves, until the coming of Shian’Kar.
Shian’Kar was born to a simple Mahee couple. They had three cubs, but one was different. The first two were a beautiful gold sheen as most Mahee cubs are born, but the third was black as night. When their shaman saw this, he immediately advised the parents to take the cub out to the wild and leave it to the hands of Galeta, the spirit of their planet. Though the cub seemed healthy, the parents did as they were told.
Alone in the field, the child cried until it’s pleas met the ear of a Shune huntress named Seras. At first she was sure it was a trap, but when she saw the child in danger from lower beasts, she flew in to save her. It is a characteristic trait among the Shunes to mate for life. After a mate is lost, there is never another. Having lost her mate, Seras knew she would never have a child of her own so she took the young Mahee cub home to raise.
Shian’Kar learned the ways of the Shunes and became a great and powerful huntress. Given the speed and accuracy of a lion and the cunning and sharpness of a bird, she became the most respected and successful hunter in the tribe.
When a tribe from beyond the stars came forth and waged war with the Mahees, Shian’Kar could not turn her gaze. Though the Shunes believed that what affected one race would not affect all, Shian’Kar knew otherwise. She swore to her mother that she would return and she went to face the invaders.
She fought hard and strong, using both her natural born instincts and the teachings of her adoptive family. In the end, she was not strong enough and died at the invader’s hands.
It is said that she was taken into the heavens and bestowed the power of the Gods. When she was returned she resumed her fierce fight and not only saved her people but inspired the other races to step in as well. As one, the races of Diveria stood behind Shian’Kar and drove the invaders away.
Peace was restored and the races of Diveria were unified for the first time. With her mission complete, Shian’Kar was taken back to the heavens, but promised her people that she would one day return when she was needed again.

Turnaround for Amara. I'd like to hunt her down. :wink:

Second Issue deals with a Science Vessel Orbiting Earth above the Acritic Circle. This is an image I worked up for a concept for it. The secondary ships are the Spycon. (Orbiting an Alien world). I'm working up a new design for the Attack Vessels. Need to be more Nasty. But the Main Vessel is Set. More Drawing on them Soon.

A Spycon Scientist Combining DNA strains from across the Universe to Make the Alpha Seeker.
I fixed the feet on the turn around. I'll upload that after scanning it in the morning. Thanks for holding me to it. I wanted a better
image to dream about. Did this tonight watching the News.

2. How About A little Background Bio on Your Character Sting for our Readers?

Novalist Eric Cooper
Let me answer those questions for you Blair.
Sting's biggest successful heist was the steeling of the world's largest carved sapphire that was on display at the North Carolina State Museum in 2005. Since then no one has any idea who he may have sold it to or where he may have secretly placed the gem.
A little back ground on Sting. Sting's real name is Allen Sharp. Allen was born in Chicago, Illinois. He was raised by his mother
and has an older brother. Their living conditions were near poverty
and they barely had food on the table. Times were tough and then
Allen's father was drafted to serve in Vietnam. Unfortunately, he
never made it home, and ten-year-old Allen and his older brother
were now without a father. Their mother who was diagnosed with lung cancer worked as much as she
could to keep food on the table; the government had offered little
support for their daily needs.
Allen was usually left alone, and his mother and brother hoped he would
stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, that did not go as planned…
Allen had started finding unique ways of getting into trouble. He
started stealing for no apparent reason, and then he could not help it.
He was becoming a kleptomaniac, and gravitating towards shiny
objects.
Later an altercation occurred in high school with one of the football jocks that nearly beat the hell out of Allen, that was the point where his body transformed and Allen discovered that he was a mutant and able to defend himself.
As time went on he became a thief for hire, and at times a personal body guard since he was able to switch back and forth from his human and mutant form.
Sting is a fast healer, and skilled in conventional fighting. He has the strength to lift 5 tons and his skin while in mutant form is able to resist small arms fire. He is also able to climb walls like and insect, has a nerve toxin that secrets from his razor sharp tail, and lastly he can secrete bio acid from his finger tips.
