Man is King

I've been thinking of doing a science fiction story for quite sometime, as early as 2001, I think. A science fiction story where pretty much everything will not make the use of any reference material, and everything will come from my imagination, with exception of perhaps face, figurework and clothing. But everything else from buildings, to cars, to technologies.... all of them I'll just try and make up. I think it will be very fun and challenging.

Sometime last year I was finally able to come up with a story in which I'll try and do this experiment and I decided to call it Humanis Rex. It's my clumsy attempt at latin which maybe hopefully means "Man is King". If not, well, I guess I'll just let it be because it sounds cool anyway. And it is at the very core of what my story is about. About humanity and its struggle to be free.

After a couple of false starts, I was able to find a publisher willing to serialize this story in their magazine. Fudge Magazine is edited by a friend of mine whom I approached earlier this year about doing a comics story for them. And thankfully enough, she agreed!

Next month the series starts in the magazine. And I can't wait! To start drawing it! :)
