MTIO General Update: More cool sketches from upcoming works (spoilers omitted)

Grinding!

MTIO General Update: Works From Upcoming Comics

Notes:
- Still polishing the panels on V, it's important to have that fixed, even minute details.
- 6 is the priority, continuing the main plot is my biggest concern.
- When E3R, Versus and Field Guide Entries pass a certain point, I'll lock in and finish them. The rotation keeps my skills diverse, and nothing stag...

Next Time On MTIO

Episode VI - Paradise (The Inner Colonies)

MTIO: Progress drawings from upcoming comics

MTIO Archive: Cartoons

The original comics/cartoons, drawn in sharpie that laid the foundation for the Full Metal Brat cast and plotline

MTIO Versus Production Update

A collection of works that I'll composite into the final comic (spoiler free, but enough detail to describe the experience)

The context and narrative I think is a lot of fun, quite unexpected for Halo but very naturalistic. I got a pleasant surprise in store for you all.

MTIO: General Update

Aiming for an October release, rather than confuse readers by breaking episode V into parts. I'm just gonna do each update as Episode V, VI and such.

I strongly believe in the 15 page episodes keeping the comic easy to digest and it's the format that enabled this to be a manageable project.

General Update: Final Panel vs Thumbnail

This is attrition at its hardest! Thank you for being here!

To be candid, the tough part, I can't spoil the surprise, I can't deviate from the course.

V/Z Plan: General Update

This weekend, I'll review for a release date, most likely the release order will be:
- Episode V (first)
- Episode III Revised
- Zero
(In between story episodes)
- Versus Fights

And then Wave Two's line up will be announced:

MTIO V/Z Plan: Key Art/Archive Art /Comm Art

These arrangements are from 'The Secret History of the 88th', which I'll attach to EIII Revised.

Within the Archive I'll have the images in a single page, with cited artists. This is part of the big reformatting I'll be doing with Episode V's release

MTIO V/Z Plan: Finished Panel and Lineart Example

Physical Lineart, Digital Polish

MTIO Admin: Reformating the Patreon

I have to reformat this site to compensate for the onboarding of new readers,

This way, the polished vision is the easiest to open and understand.

The original 'release' versions of every episode will be relisted as 'ARCHIVE'.

To reduce clutter, and improve accessibility, the updates regarding released...

MTIO V/Z Plan: Synopsis of Upcoming Episodes

Episode V: The Office of Naval Intelligence is known for its plan within plans... Agent Jane Doe understands this more than anyone, yet somehow, the outbreak of a remote civil war... Has become both a window into a greater conspiracy and the first clue to solving a tragic, personal mystery.

Berserk Forces Episode Zero...

Berserk Forces Episode Zero Notes

- It takes place in 2549, the same year as Full Metal Brat.
- I needed to see if Berserk Forces was viable as a comic before I committed to it as MTIOs, next and last development.
-Still plenty of Full Metal Brat left, but FMB is shorter story than Berserk Forces.

- Some readers aren't Halo fans and might not ...

MTIO: Episode III Revised Comparison

Episode IV and the first two episodes will get some polish too, for new readers onboarding with Episode V or Zero.

III is a lil special, there will be entirely new pages to accompany the visual upgrade.

MTIO: Berserk Forces Production Works & General Update

Current Objective: MTIO will cross 100 pages, make sure it looks good doing so.

(Main Narrative)
- Episode Zero
- Episode V
- Episode III (Revised)

(Mini Comics)
- Field Guide: UNSC Cahow
- MTIO Versus

MTIO Versus: Krease (ODSTs) V Jane (ONI)

Context: For the training sequences and some fun insight into the Crossbones ODSTs I wanted to make a fictional martial art the ONI cast could learn from the ODST cast. Which culminated in a tournament (to which the reader saw this particular match).

The altered 'final version' of this scene appears in Chapter II

MTIO (Archive): Orbital Drop Shock Troopers

The 'canonical' backstory for these works will be in Guide entries or seen from an original POV within the main comics.

MTIO: The Fighters (Impressions)

Uniforms, stances and screen tests for H2H sequences in Berserk Forces and Versus.

V/Z Plan: Action/Narrative Setpieces

(Temp Dialog)
These are from Episode Zero - the cinematic style of action is expensive. However it's fun to open with, and expedites later scenes.

MTIO: Spartan Illustrations

V/Z Plan: MTIO Hybrid Page Quality Test

Results of the new process. (Page 7 of Episode V)

V/Zero Plan: Angelika B294

'Episode Zero' will introduce the main character of Berserk Forces.
