Husband. Father. Daydrea... Guns blazing, Luke threw himself into battle, a war cry on his lips.

Double milestone day! 🥂

Fortune #1 is production-complete, and I managed the whole process using Emerge, the comic collaboration tool I’m building.
Onward to Issue #2!

Curious about Emerge? https://t.co/BC1ykvkYXS

Question for my fellow comic creators - what’s the hardest part of making a comic (besides paying people)? Where does it usually start to break down? #IndieComics #ComicCreators #makingcomics

[Luke McKoy @LukeMckoy]

Josh and I wanted to say a thank-you to everyone who supported us on Kickstarter to get Fortune crowdfunded - so excited for what's to come!

As much as I love them all, not every character is easy to write.
Marcus has such a pivotal arc in Fortune, but his reserved personality means he doesn’t get the fun character beats the others do.

Comic writers: which of your characters are the hardest to make work on the page?

[Luke McKoy @LukeMckoy]

And that's a wrap!

If you saw Fortune posts from me everywhere over the past few weeks, sorry for spamming so much. But a huge thanks to everyone who supported me - because of you, Issues #1 and #2 are getting made and will be out in the world soon.

You try to raise your kids right and then it turns out they eat cold spaghetti, leaving you to think “Where did I go wrong?”

[Luke McKoy @LukeMckoy]

If you're a fan of Skullkickers or Rat Queens, you'll enjoy Fortune. There’s a day left on the campaign, and any pledges at this point will help bring Issue #3 to life!

48 hours to go.

I could spend this time trying to convince you to pledge, but it’s been a long road, and right now I just want to enjoy where we are.
So here's the cover for Fortune #3, from sketch to letters.

We’re down to the final days of the Kickstarter! Our next stretch goal will bring Issue 3’s covers to life in full color, so here’s a sneak peek of the pencils.

Want to see the full piece and help make it happen?

Rereading #Skullkickers and #RatQueens to keep in the fantasy mood while my comic’s Kickstarter winds down. They’ve been big inspirations for the kind of action/humor balance I’m aiming for - can anyone suggest other series in that vein?

Thought I'd share a timelapse of me lettering page 1 of Fortune #1 - I'm slowly developing how I work, as well as my style, but I'm enjoying every minute of it🙂

@pindoramacomics Looking great! Where will it be available when it’s complete?

[Luke McKoy @LukeMckoy]

When I started writing this comic, I didn’t expect Maddy to become my favourite character to write—but she’s just so much fun.

She really starts to shine in Issue #2, so if you want to see this little spitfire in full force, consider supporting us on Kickstarter 💥

[Luke McKoy @LukeMckoy]

@letsrollprmm Kickstarter’s reporting ~40% from external traffic at the moment, but since I haven’t been using custom tags, I wouldn’t be surprised if it's a bit higher.
Are you finding Kickstarter’s bringing in new people, or are you having to drive most of the traffic yourself?

[Luke McKoy @LukeMckoy]

Which cover would you pick for Fortune #2?
The issue is nearly halfway funded on Kickstarter:

Really encouraged to see another positive review for Fortune. Big thanks to @michaeljnimmo for taking the time to dig into it.

[Luke McKoy @LukeMckoy]

@pindoramacomics @michaeljnimmo Yup - indie and creator-owned. Portal Comics is the label I’ll be using for my self-published comics.
