Post by: Kualan on May 07, 2014, 12:20:04 PM

Enjoy, and as always feedback is appreciated:

Man, I didn't realize how much I missed this! What a great introductory chapter. You really do seem to capture those small nuances with characters like Tarkin. Wow, I can't wait to see this new bad guy, and a former padawan of Mace! Excellent work Kualan and expect to see this featured here at ISY very prominently on the front page.

Thanks for the front page treatment, Tamer!

Glad you guys liked it. This Volume is going to be very much focused on the shadier side of the Republic, which was hinted at towards the end of Volume Three.

Spies, conspiracies, secret agents will all feature prominently - but there will still be plenty of clones, droids and Jedi battling it out across the galaxy too!

That was really, really amazing work.  Talk about a ton of action, great storyline, awesome writing, and jaw dropping effects.  Damn that was a good read.

There was so much to like here, but my favorite part was the officer who criticized the Jedi Order right in front of Palpatine.  How awesome was that?  We really needed a glimpse of that in ROTS, in my opinion.  What you did here was a masterpiece.  Looking forward to what you have in store next.

I took some time to read this again this evening. Wow, I can see that perhaps Kastrofa is getting ready to take a back burner to a new baddie. I can't wait to see his downfall and how Mace brought him to justice. My word I would have enjoyed the prequels a ton more had you penned to story and screen play. Truly you do not get enough credit for the great work you do. I am already impatient for the next chapter.

Amazing! I must say, your series makes me feel as if the Clone Wars never ended, your story telling and visuals are truly top notch. As always, you've captured our favorite characters perfectly and introduced compelling new ones! I love the Obisidian reference (KOTOR II was a great game!) and seeing Captain Ozel was a treat! I particularly enjoy the angle you are taking with Mace in your story, very interesting! I also loved the Dooku/Qui-Gon subplot, they are both fascinating characters, I look forward to seeing more of it! I know how much work goes into producing a series such as this, please know that I truly enjoy every issue you create, thank you for your commitment!

Awesome stuff Kualan.

While I will probably always prefer non-digitized stories, I completely recognize and admire the incredible about of planning, talent and dedication you put into this.  It's just amazing results for the readers and you deserve the highest praise for what you continue to do. 

Very well done, to say the least!

Post by: Tamer on October 18, 2014, 05:59:45 AM

I really enjoyed this episode. I thought I would not be able to have a more favorite villian than Kastrofa, but I must say this Lord Tok looks like he might outrank him. I love the characters you are coming up with and seeing the character develop from some of my favorite Jedis (like Mace Windu).

I know that The Clone Wars Fans are feeling terribly let down after the end of the TV Series and even though you see a mention every once in awhile from SW.com you can really see that we are getting ready to link to the REBELS timelines and of course Episode 7. This gives those fans something to hold onto and I really appreciate you doing that for them.

Finally, your story and artwork just keeps getting better. I know this to be true because as soon as I am done I get frustrated that I am gonna have to wait to see how this turns out. You are doing well with your writing if I am getting that feeling. Only a few of my favorite authors do I do that with.

Time for another front page shout out too. This is too good of a work for folks not to notice. I am also sharing this on our Facebook Page too.

I reiterate everything Tamer has written; fantastic fiction, and no better source than the Clone Wars period which remains I think the ultimate wellspring of combat-orientated storylines (and dramatic shockwaves radiating from, in all corners of the galaxy) in Star Wars lore.

Kualan,

I've started reading this from part one and I just wanted to let you know how much I continue to enjoy your creation. The dialogue is so slick it just draws me in. I love the characters and all the amazing locations.

Part one is just superb... I'll keep reading.

Thanks Tamer! Glad you're enjoying the new villain - I think Railas Tok is shaping up to be my favourite of the series too, since we know more about his background and history than we did about Kastrofa. And there's more to come!

You're completely right about the CW-era, John. Although I love every period of SW lore for different reasons, the Clone Wars definitely takes the top spot for galactic-scale combat and battle sequences.

Thanks guys! Unfortunately, due to my RL work schedule at the moment, it could be some time before Descent Part Three is completed. So in the meantime I knocked up a little teaser image of some of the characters and plotlines that are going to take place during the rest of Volume Four. A sort of trailer in comic form, I guess.

Thank you Tamer! Glad you like the lighting effects during the duel. Each volume of the series I try to find something new to add to the technical side of things. Volume Three it was advancing the facial expressions of the characters instead of being blank 3D puppets, and in Volume Four I've experimented more with lighting effects (particularly with lightsabers).

In the absence of new Clone Wars episodes, your series has been so, so great at getting me my Clone Wars fix!

Thank you folks, glad you're still enjoying it! And speaking of getting a Clone Wars fix, I recently completed making a brand new 3D model for a character that started in the TV series and will appear later in Volume Four. Here is their concept art:

I am reminded of how cool it would be to see your characters take on life in action figure form. It sure would be cool thats for sure!

Great stories :) The comic book covers are a welcome bonus. All solid material that will satisfy any fan of SW's grander soap opera episodes. Visually, it's the 'missing link' between The Clone Wars animated style and live-action stills.

Plenty more Mandalorian action to come! I've also been updating the Mandos' 3D models for future issues so there can be a wider range of Mandalorian characters. For example, this concept art of an updated Amelia (the Mandalore):

(http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp224/Kualan90/ConceptAmeliaUpdated.jpg)

Also been making a whole range of new 3D models for the rest of the volume. Spoiler alert - the Mando armour isn't the only costume change Tok is going to have over the course of Volume Four! Also got a new Quarren mercenary character who will make an appearance soon:

You keep making the artwork and storyline better and better in my opinion. My only critique would be having to wait for more chapters!

Rergarding adding supplementary information, yes, a very good idea :) I do the same for my Star Wars Toyscapes photostories on my FB group - when all the photos are loaded into a single post they can be read like a slideshow; in the text box beside them, I add background notes and deleted scenes etc. FB is a very good format for that kind of presentation, although a standalone web-site or blog with the same functionality and none of the general social clutter would be better. Or, add new posts below your story updates in Imperial Shipyards and contain each episode in a different thread to make for easier navigation?

Thanks folks, glad you're still enjoying it, I was worried the plot might be getting too crowded. This issue starts a new subplot for the volume with Palpatine running into trouble in the Senate. It's based on one of the plotlines for a future season of TCW that never made it to air.

Its about time I left better comments. First off when I saw the Senate stuff I started to groan going back to my feelings when Filoni pretty much ruined a few episodes over the Senate Stuff (just my opinion folks). Now I can handle it the way you included it to show how Tok was causing Palps some trouble and you made your point and moved on. I am interested to see how Tok takes to being bossed around by Grievous. I don't see good things happening there. I also enjoyed seeing the dark side a bit in Mace. I knew he had it in him if the truth be told. Once again you have me hooked on your characters, storyline, and action. I wonder how Embo is going to handle Mace? Great episode.

Heh, yeah I didn't want to linger too long with the Senate scenes! They were necessary to get Tok on Sidious' radar however...and we know it's never a good thing when a Lord of the Sith starts to take notice of you (just ask Ventress)! As for Mace's dark side, there was always an 'end justifies the means' edge to Windu (look at his actions in Episode Three) that I tried to touch on in this issue with his treatment of Tameron. It's hardline, it's cold, but nowhere near cruel or evil.

The confrontation with Embo is going to be fun, and there will also be some classic droid-versus-clones action in the next issue too! And you're right...Tok is not going to be happy about taking orders from Grievous!

Love it. I read this one fast the action was so intense. That last image reminds me of the Sith lighting up their lightsabers for TOR Videos if you remember them. I loved those preview videos.

Great chapter Kualan. Daggone now I have to wait to see how this turns out. I am glad you didn't kill Embo off by the way.

Another most excellent chapter Kuulan!!! Your series makes the lack of any more official Clone Wars episodes a little less painful  ()rr
Tons of great action, while setting up for a pretty epic finale. That's a hard balancing act to toe, you have my most sincere respect there! Keep 'em coming!!!

Absolutely fantastic! What a great way to start the weekend. Look for this on our front page soon. You have got some major players together here. I am so looking forward to seeing Tok and Grievous exchange a few pleasantries. Your story has me on the edge of my seat. I will be honest I am enjoying your storyline for The Clone Wars so much better than what we got in the TV Series. Bravo Sir!

Know that I will be an unwavering fan for as long as you continue to produce this awesome comic!!!

Glad that you guys are still enjoying this series four whole volumes into it. I knew in early issues when I had Grievous and Tok exchange insults in their first meeting that I wanted those two to cross blades before the end of the Volume - and as far as I know we've never seen Grievous' four blades fight a double-bladed lightsaber before so it will be interesting choreographing that fight for the next issue.

I'm not sure how many issues will be left in the finale arc for Volume Four - two at the very least, though not all plot threads will be tied up as neatly as they have in past volumes. Some characters and storylines I intend to carry over to a potential Volume Five.

I also like how you are resolving the personal issues between main characters too, like you did in the past issue with Tok and Mace. I can envision Mace being an even tougher Jedi now that he has resolved that particular crisis. It still irritates me a bit that we don't know if he survived or not after ROTS. I for one think he was one Jedi who could survive and wreak some major havoc. Anyhow I like how you are handing some of my favorite CW Characters.

Wow, didn't see that coming for Tok. Guess you reap what you sow so to speak. Wow I enjoyed this. Glad to hear another series is coming even if its not TFTCW. You have done a fantastic job keeping that story line alive when it was just abruptly stopped. I enjoyed your view of TCW better than the show, truth be told. Thanks for sharing your graphic and writing artistry with us. I can but wait for your next series.

Thank you Tamer! One of the reasons the finale issue took so long to produce was because I kept swaying back and forth on what Tok's final fate should be. I settled on the final version because I felt it balanced the karma Tok deserved with the evolution that Windu and Sarella had taken across the course of the volume - not to mention the growing 'dark side' to the Republic that has become a recurring theme for the series as a whole. I'm really pleased you liked it!

And just as I did with Tok's fate, I keep going back and forth on the fate of the comic as well. More Clone Wars? Not more Clone Wars? The debate rages! Part of me wants to move into new eras of the Star Wars galaxy, but another part of me thinks there's so much more potential to this time period. I'll be taking a short break anyway and see how I feel when I come back to the project anew.

At least that gives me more time to enjoy some of the great stuff taking place on the Shipyards these days.

Well said. I cannot even imagine how long it took to put all this together. I know I have worked for days on just one graphic let alone how you do all of yours and then splice them together, write the dialogue, etc. I know its a huge undertaking to do something like this and you can see the views and how much people like it. I sure wish folks would comment more, but its like trying to get em to vote they just don't!

Wow, talk about an excellent ending. Excellent job (as always) with this entry; however I have to say those last few frames were by far some of my favorites. I also loved the juxtaposition of the Yoda and Dooku shots, where they face each other. Amazing work!

Glad you enjoyed it Jodo. It's tricky coming up with different ways to convey non-verbal stuff (like that moment between Dooku and Yoda) in comic form.

Folks, after some storyboarding sessions I can announce that 'production' has started on Volume Five of Tales From The Clone Wars! I came up with a plotline that I think is interesting enough to stay in the Clone Wars era for one more volume at least :)

Here's a sneak preview of the first eight pages of Issue One - Brothers In Arms:

EDIT: Preview removed. Full issue can be seen here: http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=9848.0

I'll post a new topic to launch the volume once Issue One is completed.

Wow, great stuff. I am out of internet time this morning but rest assured I will give this its due exposure.

So glad to hear this will continue or heck any series from you will be great Kualan!

I ended up finishing the first issue today (I always seem to work faster with the opening issue of a new volume for some reason), so I'll start up a new thread shortly!
