Darkbolt: The Creative Works of Sean Boyle

The Creative Works of Sean Boyle

Not Much New... (5/6/12)

Getting close to the end of the quarter, and the amount of work I have isn't letting up. I really want to get started on DoormaNt, but I simple don't have the time yet. I did manage to scan in some sketches of a couple more characters (more first-passes than anything final). So, here is some blue-pencil sketching of Mr. Smith and Nikola Tesla! Smith's eyes need to change, and I hate Tesla's hair...

More DoormaNt Updates (4/23/12)

Work has been extremely busy, and it's looking less likely that DoormaNt will officially begin before the quarter ends. On the bright side, that's only a month away, and in the meantime I have little bits of time here and there to iron out more details. Maybe I'll even find someone to augment my crappy art skills... ¬_¬ In the meantime, here are some more characters:

DoormaNt Underway (4/16/12)

Been pretty busy with work and stuff, but managed to spend most of Sunday doing character designs for DoormaNt. I'll be posting sketches and character info over the coming weeks, along with gradual development of the actual DoormaNt site. I apologize that it's taking so long to get going, I just really want to make sure this comic is really as perfect as I can make it, without any hiccups like we had in the early days of Darkbolt. I'm trying to refine my art style, and branch out into other facial structures aside from the typical bishojo/bishonen style I've always used. I'm really struggling with making one of the truly ugly characters. Anyway, here is a picture of the main character, Ashe. Enjoy!

All-new site! (4/9/12)

So here it is, the brand new Darkbolt site! I've decided I'm going to make the site be an all-encompassing portfolio of all my various creative projects. Believe it or not, Darkbolt is not the only thing I ever did! For years I've been writing, drawing, making games, and all kinds of other stuff. So, instead of letting everything just fester in a vast pit of nothingness on my hard drive, I thought I'd share it.

There are a few things I'm still not sure about posting online, like my NaNoWriMo story from 2011, since I am still contemplating some attempt at "real" publishing, or at least selling it myself. But other things I've written, which are either never going to be published or are already being published in my own Tremorworks books, are going to be here.

Of course, there's always Darkbolt, and the upcoming DoormaNt, and various pictures I've done, and my games on the Tremorworks site.

I also plan to use this site as a semi-blog, though I'm not sure I typically have much interesting to say. ^_^

For now, quick links to my main projects are on the left, and everything can be found through the links up top. Naturally, Darkbolt (the comic) isn't going anywhere. It's still here, along with the audio drama, gallery, and everything... basically the entire site still exists, just buried behind this main page.

I've added in an RSS feed, so feel free to subscribe to that. Otherwise, the site is currently incomplete, and will continue to fill out over the next couple of weeks.
