I have been around here more lately, reading through things that people have wrote and browsing the hundreds of visual art submissions I'm backed up on, but I still haven't been updating. There is actually a reason for this that I've been holding off mentioning until now, but I think it's all set and ready.

My friends and I have been working on setting up a webcomic for a little over half a year now and we've finally launched and gotten rolling with it. So far, the comic has been up three weeks. The comic is updated each week on Monday. The website ItsGonnaBeGreat.com has been in our minds for a while and until recently, we haven't had the right group of people or the right final idea to run with it. What we're trying to do with our webcomic is make it so that it isn't just a single artist and a single writer doing the whole show. So far, we have five people that are working on creating comics (myself included, so it's unfair to title the group as artists) and a separate group of people writing them. Most of the comics that in line to go up are written by me and two of the three comics online were also written by me.

My hope is that IGBG will be able to gather a following of people that want to contribute. The idea behind it is that people that want to submit writing or drawing can, through the website, get in contact with us and work with us to create new comics. When I try to explain it, it sounds like laziness driving the comic, but the truth of the matter is that my vision for it is very much like what we have here at deviantART. A place where artists can come together and work together to create a form of art that people will be able to look to for entertainment. My hope is that eventually, when people become interested, we can match writers and artists up and have teams working together, bringing together groups of talented artists that would not have otherwise met each other.

Of course, I'm not relying on this. I've been continually writing strips to keep the website going and several other people in the group have been doing the same. The artists in the group have been feverishly trying to keep up with the pace that the writing is coming out, but I'm sure that will balance out soon.

So that's my excuse. I have been rather busy with writing, but posting the scripts for these comics would not have been nearly as interesting as providing them to you guys online on the website. Without the group of people I'm working with, the website could not have come together. It's something that I've been wanting to do for a long time and now that the website is actually a reality, I've found myself fairly absorbed in its upkeep. Clicking the link will take you to the front page and to the most recent comic. Clicking the musings button within that window will take you to what we have to say about that weeks comic or just about what we have to say in general. I'd love it if you guys went and took a look, especially since I've provided so little here otherwise. We also have a forum attached to the site, so feel free to register an account and chat with us there as well. On that site, I go by Denty (character, musings, forum, etc.). Here's to hopin' I see you over there.
