Just read it. It's really well done, the story is interesting and I like how they designed the world utilizing both fantasy and animal anatomy in a realistic way. The artists have a strong understanding of animal anatomy and form/function. The last time I read something this well done is by Wendy Pena.

Thank you for sharing!

its got some of that "Elfquest" vibe to it, yah.
The Pinis would love this.
And EQ had those Northern elves if i recall.

That looks really good but I think I've seen this art work if I remember right it influenced my momma to start drawing again. I have been practicing shading and line work also measurements. Very beautiful art indeed.🐱💕🐱💕🐱

yep i love it.
story is awesome too

Yes the story is immersing and grabs you much like Shadows In Light and the Depths.

Paramount Pictures was interested in Shadows in Light but havent heard back yet.
You think Disney might like something like this, if we cut down the sex? :D

For the God's sake, don't sell out or compromise your original vision. You could sell that to someone who understands what you were doing there.
You guys can clearly write something else that would meet their needs.

hey the book's been out two fucking years. Enough bullshit.
If we sell out, we sell out.
youre gonna learn real quick all writers sell out eventually. :D

Don't forget that I've been around longer than you, dude. -Not that that in itself gains me any brownie points.

It's your choice to sell out or not. I won't be there, assuming you ever even get that chance. Your call, of course.

I can't make that decision for you, nor would I presume or want to. All I can say is what I'd do.

Personally, I'd much rather see the movie that YOU guys would like to make.

And two years is pretty short in the grand scheme of things.

dunno if you realize this but there's not a movie thats ever been made that follows the original story. :D
Face facts, the minute you make a movie of anything, you are owned lock stock and barrel.
and its awful but thats how the Hollywood game is played.
Writers need to learn a really cool word called "compromise"

Of course not. Some are pretty faithful, and some people are merely inspired by the original material. Great movies can be made either way. Some projects are more collaborative or less collaborative, for better or worse.

If it's a true labor of love it has a chance. The bombs were not that, and there are far more bombs than hits, for a myriad of reasons.

Shadows in Light is a great labor of love, for all things mythological, sci-fi, urban horror and mystery. Our purpose was to get this onto the NYT best-seller list because we felt it had a shot.
But a lotta people let us down.
soooooo...yeah, if the opportunity to produce this as a movie, as a mini-series, whatever, i say go for it.
Besides, we're writing SIX OTHER BOOKS in the series...
its not like we're at a standstill.

Very good. No point in waiting for anyone else. All you can do is the best you can.

There are so many great books that have never been realized beyond that format.

Perhaps a sequel could hit and bring attention to the original. It has happened.

Oh yeah the shmex thing. Yes they would love it without the sexy scenes. But it's Disney and I've met a lot of the top stuffed suits. And even a woman named Star who works for Hannah Barbera. She used to work with my momma at Disney but she was in charge of the Xerox machines there. Now that she works at Time Warner/Hannah Barbera she is an automation specialist/programmer. She does work on different levels of animation too.
I've caught Michael Eisner watching anime porn on his laptop. We were in his office and he got up to greet us, the reflection in the big window behind him showed two women having sex with one guy. 😆😆😆 anyway they don't like it in their movies but they sure watch a lot of it...😂😂

Oh yeah Star Wirth!... I used to read her end credits all the time growing up, she was the Xerox queen. :D

She sadly passed away in 2012. =( but i totally remember her name. She was hard to forget and she worked on everything HB did.

Yeah her she was like my other auntie we used to go to her house all the time. I would sit and listen to her and my moms talk about the industry for hours she was so sweet to me and always picked me up even with her bad back and give me big hugs and kisses. I loved how she showed me how to draw a circle and turn it into a face.😿 I loved Star and now she is a Shooting Star. ⭐🌠🐱💖🐱🌠⭐

hon you should really pursue animation when youre all better again.

Well maybe a back burner if I don't do good as a lawyer. But I then need to learn more about computers and animation. My momma can teach me some of that🤔🤔😑🐱🤔

I agree the Pini's would def like it. While Elfquest had the elves riding wolves the concept is similar. They did have Northern Elves. I loved the comics back in the day, I only had one of the books and kinda stopped collecting them when I moved. Perhaps I will get back into it.

what was that totally hot Viking elf's name ... Venka...?
she was soooooooooooo sexy ♥♥♥

Not sure
