Have been giving myself time to think as I mulled things over. After seeing peoples reaction to Gideon's Ghostwalker armor with the mask, I decided that maybe that is the direction I should go, though I have been considering removing the mask and go back to the shades/goggles like the original had, so I am considering doing 2 versions the one with the mask and one without the mask with shades instead. The idea of having him with that armor was to represent the dark times we live in and updating his look. I figured I'd give him a look that resembled other holy warrior type characters like the Magdalena, Azrael, and the Templar from the game the Secret World.
Since his name was the Ghostwalker I gave him a scary Ghost mask with fangs. I have started work on the concept again refining the look, since I still wasn't happy with it. When I'm done he will have armored boots and a logo on his chest again. Right now I am still considering my options a far as getting involved with another indy comic company is concerned.
Two I've considered were my friends at Lighthouse studio an up and coming company, I recommend you guys check them out and my friends at Aspyre a veteran company owned by another friend of mine. I know if I did get involved with My Friends at Aspyre, I could see Gideon and my buddy's character Bluejaye have a nice little Superman/Batman dynamic. Anyway I am still thinking about it, trying to figure things out.

Comic update
So just got done talking to my artist earlier and sent him the last pages to my story after finding the last couple of pages in my email. Thought I lost them after everything in my puter was deleted. Was able to write the final pages earlier and sent it in to him when I was done. so feeling pretty happy. Seeing the last couple of pages has got me pretty excited now. So with that said, I wanna talk a little bit about the comic. My story in the comic is action packed and fast paced through out the whole story.
The art for those that haven't seen the pages I posted, is similar to what you would see in the Dragon ball manga and anime series. On
Goodbye 2014 Hello 2015
As this year ends I feel happy for achieving the weight loss I achieved after returning to the gym an almost 2 year hiatus. I came back to that gym revitalized and stronger than ever. I also rebooted my comic with a much better story and origin for Gideon as well as come up with his design for his book. I returned home and made my peace with the big man upstairs even if it's still a struggle for me. I proved my worth to someone I care for very deeply when they needed me. I got back into doing what I loved when i started writing again. All in all it was a very good year. Bring on 2015. :D
My personal feelings about using kickstarter.
One question I've had people ask about and others have recommended is using kickstarter to fund the comic. My answer has always been that I don't believe in asking people for money and leaving myself in a compromising position knowing how life always seems to throw a curve ball. I prefer to pay out of my own pocket and work on my own pace, and my artist's pace, than feel obligated and rushed, because I took money from people that don't understand the process that goes into making a comic. I know some people that have gone through exactly what I described and that just reaffirmed my belief. Eventhough I may not have the support some of my peer
Small update
Little update. I received the sketches for some of the pages and the cover for my new comic and it's coming along nicely. For now I will leave the coat and spiked ninja bracers since I don't want my artist to keep redrawing it besides, Gideon is warrior which is the reason the bracers were added on him to begin with and the coat is part of his original costume.
Decided if I make any changes it will be after this book. The pages and cover are looking sweet. I'll probably put something up once the book is finished like I did with the last one. I am feeling really excited about putting this book out. First book I put out was with help from a l

It's very cool how much thought you are putting into this. The mask/no mask question is one that you've been dealing with for quite some time now through several versions of Gideon as you've been doing updates the past few years. Personally, I think that a good mask would be a cool way to go. But I understand how hard it is to choose. Keep thinking about it, and then go with what feels best for you!
