Wretched Dario Officially on Hiatus

Greetings!

I have decided to put the production of Wretched Dario’s first book on hold for a while. The project isn’t canceled. There have been some costly issues and some slow downs. The capitol used for this project came from whatever I could scrape from my day-job earnings, and so the challenges stated above were huge problems for me.

However, as a writer there are other stories that I have been working on. Two of the short stories that I am close to finishing will be published here, but I have also begun a novel which I will be seeking a publishing deal for.

If I am able to secure a deal for the novel, then I will use the money to fund the completion of Book One for the Wretched Dario line. That is the plan so far.

Some Changes

When I return to Wretched Dario, it will be with a new illustration team, and some very minute changes to the story.

This is a disappointment to me; I dedicated so much time and money to this project, but despite all that, I am very excited to get these other stories written and to come back to Wretched Dario with a new team and solid capitol.

I will still be updating the character entries and story elements here on the website for Wretched Dario.

Changes to Wretched Dario's Debut

Greetings!

There have been some changes made concerning the debuted release of Wretched Dario. I have decided to use the graphic novel format instead of a single issue release. This means a longer wait time, but I promise it will be worth it!

I have three main sagas in the collective telling of this story, and I was convinced (for financial reasons) to instead produce 6-8 issues for each of them. I was never too keen on the idea of releasing each chapter of Dario as issue #1, #2, and them being separated by saga this, saga that, etcetera; but instead I wanted very much to make three large graphic novels, so that is the vision I am going back to.

To sum up:

-Book one titled, Beyond the Hammer Heart will be the debut of Wretched Dario.

-The saga of Dario and his mates will be told across three books along with extra content found on this site.

-Currently my team and I are working on chapter 3 for book one.

-I will publish chapter one on this site for everyone and anyone.

-A Kickstarter will be launched very soon to fortify this teams exhaustive work.

I cant wait for everyone to read this, Cheers!

The New Website Background

Greetings!

I found this gorgeous photograph of my lady, Pallas Athena, or Minerva if you prefer, in an on-line archive. I’ve never seen this particular statue of her, but I loved it so much that I paid the archive for the license which came with a high resolution download. Using my own photographs and art, I created this piece to serve as the backdrop for the House Whinery website.

I would prefer this statue of Athena to be from my own camera, but I do appreciate the original photographer’s work and besides, I plan on making the pilgrimage to acquire my own photographs of this powerful woman.

I will have downloadable versions available soon for desktop, tablets and phones.

Cheers!
