Hey ya'll!!

How are you??

Just a real quick update to say I'm currently underway with my creator owned book and its coming along beautifully! :)

I really want to share it with you all soon, and will be posting regular updates on my social network sites, with regular sneak peaks at drawings in progress on Instagram instagram.com/picci8, news on Twitter twitter.com/danielpicci8 and Facebook www.facebook.com/pages/Art-by-…

Also, the whole backstory, and characters can be found on the offical Tumblr; mercercomic.tumblr.com. You can also READ THE FIRST 5 PAGES! 

Would love to hear what you think. Also, if youre working on anything yourselves post it below!

Best!

Hi all.

Firstly, I want to set a disclaimer here just so it is very clear, as I am a one man team and need to minimise the response I get as much as possible. I am looking to work with a PROFESSIONAL writer, or someone who would actually compare themselves to the best in the business (or better).

The series is 6 issues. 

The writer I'm looking for is in the vain of a Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn, etc. 

And as you may have guessed, my story is a CIA military thriller, dealing with terrorism, capitalism, and politics. Think a combination of Body Of Lies, Bourne Identity, Shooter, and games such as Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid. Only better.

The dialogue must be real. It must be researched. If you have prior knowledge in these areas that would be great. If not you'd have to love it enough to research it. I dont want to make comics. I want to make great comics. And this will take hard work.    

FYI; I had someone working with me on it, who was a 30year veteran of the US Airforce, and a journalist, working for the Department of Defense. Only he had/has too many unfortunate issues in life to be able to continue.

It will be paid, though as Im funding this personally, we would have to discuss this further.

If you are interested please email at danielpicci8@gmail.com.
If you have a similar story/theme written please send it across. Either way, please tailor your submission to this request. I want to see great dialogue and or great movement. If not I may ask you to write a scene.

I have a Tumblr already set up with previous work. I ask you to read the first 5 pages as this is definitely the strong militant tone I would like throughout.  

mercercomic.tumblr.com

Besides DA, my art is here;

Hey Guys!!

Firstly I wanted to say a big thank you to all the new watchers and peeps who have added my work to their favorites! 

The response to my MASS EFFECT drawing has been amazing. Ive spent a lot of time improving and really glad people are liking my new work.

I will be uploading some new pics here soon, however I post new work on my Facebook page ART by Picci8 quite regularly (every 2 days to be exact! :) )

Thanks again for all the nice words and support!

On this day, exactly one year ago, I was a little low, and I promised I'd end the year in direct opposite to how it started.
I've realised why I never make promises; because its too hard to keep them. I've achieved everything I wanted to last year, except one. I'm still not published.

I tend to look at things positively, and while I didn't achieve this goal, I did learn a whole lot. I feel I've improved, I've learned to use an efficient schedule to work on a deadline, developed better story ideas, and the work ethic required to do it all.

Not going to lie, hearing "No's" from publishers has admittedly been quite upsetting. I've heard a few this past year. But my gut feeling tells me those "no's" will soon turn to "yes'''.

The other day at the gym, I overheard two 40-something year old men talking about "these young kids with dreams. They think if they dream they will get everything. Haha well they can keep dreaming".

Some may agree. And yes, it is completely naive, ignorant, and irresponsible to blindly follow dreams. But if you can take a step back, stay honest with yourself and your abilities, then consciously map out a success plan of how to achieve your dream, then I'd say its almost your obligation to go for it. Fuck what everyone else says.
There have been no great achievers who thought small.

So, although I never make promises, and I broke my promise last year, I will promise that by this day next year, I will be published.
