Cold Bill

Living Conditions

paper — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 02:59:31 +0000

Did you know: finding a new place to live is hard. I have done it before and it is never something that is enjoyable or simple. I have to be out of this present place by the end of the month, so the next week or two will mostly be devoted to calling [...]

With the coming of dawn young Cold Bill set off from the town of Greensville with his three new allies of questionable reliability. It was only a night ago, he reflected, that he had happened across the weapon that forever changed the path of his life. By now his previous life seemed little but a [...]

On Perspective

paper — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 05:05:20 +0000

Page 23 was an attempt at perspective. I’ve tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to render buildings in the past, and the conversation for this particular page seemed to lend itself to a wide, distant view. This week, unlike last, proceeded as planned and lacked any missing or delayed posts. I hope to keep that [...]

As the four made their way to the town walls, Bill found it odd that they never encountered another living soul. The sun had only just began to lighten the sky, but he expected to see an early riser, or a horse, or hear a rooster crow. Aside from the clinking and clacking [...]

Shaken, not Mixed

paper — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 05:05:38 +0000

I don’t think that Monday’s turned out as well as I wanted. I sketched the idea a few times and thought it looked ok, but I think it ended up being very bland compared to the one before and after. Maybe I’ll redo it some time. Page 22 turned out good at [...]

Mim walked up to the two figures, stopped, and turned back to face Bill. “Castle,” she said, pointing at the larger one. “It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance young sir and I hope this evening found you well,” Castle said with a slow nod. Mim pointed to the smaller one. “Ruckus,” she said, [...]

Leaving a blazing room behind him, Bill found the door leading from the hallway back to the cellar ajar. He opened it and walked back into the cellar to find all of the remaining undead lying motionless on the floor. “Looks like they fell apart when their master died,” Bill said. “No,” Mim replied. “I [...]

AGAIN

paper — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 05:48:50 +0000

Oh no there is no new page ready for Friday, I am so sorry! Maybe I will make a fresh start Monday and we will just write this week off? There was a steady stream of events nightly that completely distracted me from getting any work done. I hope to get caught [...]

Mim!

paper — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 05:20:21 +0000

Today starts the Monday-Wednesday-Friday format. The posts should be the same as before, just two less a week. I hope it doesn’t make story progress seem to slow to a crawl. If so…maybe check Mondays for three pages at a time? I mentioned when Mim first showed up that her design took [...]

As the world slowly came into focus Bill saw a crumpled robe laying at his feet. He prodded it with a foot and a dessicated skull rolled out, chipping and crumbling as it moved. “This one’s a lot worse than the guards,” he said. Those who have grasped and wielded energies beyond their control make for [...]
