Title: X-WING ALLIANCE CHAPTER 25 - Plans Within Plans Pt1
Post by: hangarbay94 on May 27, 2014, 01:16:43 PM
Again I find myself apologizing for my absence, in my defense my priorities have had to focus on the here and now... I do however miss my Star Wars family.

I have managed to steal time to devote to my passion for my X-Wing Graphic Novel, and so here it is...the penultimate chapter...

(For those of you who have enjoyed my work, I do recommend going back and seeing some of the exciting previous chapters, they are filled with my blood, sweat and tears)

Wow, Jules this is just gorgeous work. We sure have missed you! You sure haven't lost anything in regards to your storyline or graphics though my friend. This is definitely going at the top of our pages today. Wow, wow, wow!

My God.
Every new chapter of this you manage to outdo your previous efforts... but this one was truly masterful! The sequence with the decloaking station made my jaw drop!
All of the little details you put into every frame... I could stare at this for hours on end!

Hangerbay 94,
You are a master, what a great chapter. I love the flow the detail. Just great work.
Now i have to go back and reread from the beginning.
I just love your X-wing tales, Thank you!!!!!

Excellent work as always Jules! Once again, a stunning pairing of visuals and action driven story!

Again I find myself apologizing for my absence, in my defense my priorities have had to focus on the here and now... I do however miss my Star Wars family.
Couldn't agree more! Life has a terrible tendency of cutting into my Star Wars time as well!

Can't wait, for the next exiting chapter (and find out just what Reeda's end game is!!!). Keep up the great work!!!

I just went back through this again and must say I absolutely loved your cockpit visuals and your environment shots. Reeda going all Sith and taking off that head was pretty cool too. I don't think there is any imagery you can't produce Jules. You have gotta be pretty pleased with how all this came together. You have captured that attack the Death Star feel with this chapter and I cannot wait to see what happens in the next battle along with what Reeda will do next. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Nice to see you are still making this series Jules. 

This chapter was a dazzling update, your visuals are always stunning and a joy to look at.  It's obvious so much work goes into each and every frame.

^ Simply jaw dropping.  Wow.  I love it.  Makes me miss your Darkchild series even more (which was my favorite thing you've done).

Hey buddy! Miss you around here, but I totally understand the time constraints of a man with a family and responsibilities.

Brilliant chapter! A lot of heart goes into these stories, that is easy to see. It occurred to me while ingesting your latest that it would be really cool if Disney picked up the Rouge Squadron as a stand-alone set of films.

Thanks so much everyone for your comments of support. I really wish I could do this stuff all day.

It may be some time before the final chapter, so here are a couple of pieces of art completed, it is the same image re-coloured, once the other artwork is in place I will insert the image. As you can see this mission is very much along the vein of the Death Star II attack...

Thanks for all your support.

Jules

Guys, it's been ages since I've been active here, sadly all of my creativity has been focused on work, but it has been paying off, things seem to be looking up! Man did I have a rough time...

Anyhow I am still determined to complete this story before possibly returning to it sometime in the future. The final chapter will be some time away yet, but it will be completed.

Here is just a taster before I disappear once again...

I'm late to the party .. and just catching up.

Jules, where ever you are, these are incredible. I have hunted down and read the first few chapters of your terrific story. It truly breaths more life into a fantastic part of the SW universe. Thank you for taking the time to create these.

I noticed in a previous post from a few years back that the installations were available for DL - unfortunately, it says the account had expired. I am taking a flight soon and would love to read the rest of the series. Is there a new link, or is online the only option?

Again, thank you. It is amazing.

It's sometimes a feat of dedication and concentration and persistence that you don't appreciate when you're smack in the middle of crafting such a project; afterwards, with distance and time, you look back and can get frightened at the monster you 'birthed' :)

Apologies for not coming back to you on this query. Unfortunately I have not renewed my FlipBook service, they wanted over £100 for the privilege.

You should find all of the chapters on this forum, if you can't I'll see if I can get them all in one place.

I've not reviewed the series for some time, if you see any elements missing please PM me and I will rectify.

One other thing, Chapter 18 the movie may have the sound removed... Disney have decided to close the door on us creative types. If you get to the chapter I can probably send you a link to the file via my Dropbox account.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Quickly browsed through the panels (I'm on the clock here at the office ;) ), but first impression is nothing short of amazing. I totally agree with Chewie, your visuals are stunning and the story only strengthens them. Will take a read when I get home and I'll definitely catch up and reread some of the older issues.
