On the plus side, it's a 240 page finished script which is about as manageable as a graphic novel can get.

Dude, I'm so excited for this project. Gonna work on it in the background even if it doesn't get picked up.

CJ Joughin @cjjoughin.bsky.social · 13d

Congrats to everyone that pitched this year. I'm happy I got to meet so many cool creative people <3

CJ Joughin @cjjoughin.bsky.social · 13d

Thank you! I definitely plan to keep working on it no matter what, so that makes me happy to hear.

Echo's life is in danger. Someone is killing people who claim to be psychic, and despite being a fraud, he's a target. To survive, he puts his trust in Ren, an actual psychic. However, Ren's ability to dictate the course of events is frightening in its own way. #GN #DVArt #DVpit #SFF #LGBT #SF

Oh I like this a lot, and it looks so slick!

CJ Joughin @cjjoughin.bsky.social · 14d

Immaculate vibes.

CJ Joughin @cjjoughin.bsky.social · 14d

Thank you! One of my favs.

For the final day, my long running WIP is my comic City of Cards. It's the story of Ace, a guy with no past, who by simply trying to live his life sets off a chain of events. Ghosts, cyborgs, love and loss.

I've learned so much working on this story.

I've loved your work for years, so cool to see you pitching a story and this looks GORGEOUS!

CJ Joughin @cjjoughin.bsky.social · 18d

Thank you! I love thinking about how technology and the supernatural can seem indistinguishable at a certain point.

Warning Signs

Ren - 24 year old junk dealer, somehow always knows what someone will need. Ever since he was a kid, his memories seemed to work both ways - the past and the future appear the same to him. He's been waiting for the day he meets Echo, but he'll have to convince him he's not totally insane.
