I'm very tentatively considering working on a Novus Imperium comic. My friends and I have compiled so frigging much information and concepts for the universe of NI, and I think it's time I started actually getting some of it down on paper.

This is just me doing a quick test for a manga-ish approach for the visual style. I'm a little iffy on using dot-tone for this, since I would likely be publishing it here (or on a separate blog) digitally, and because of the limitations of pixels, dot-tones don't always work well on computer screens.

Also: Say hello to Karic's "Golem" hardsuit. I'm still working out the little details of the design, so what you're seeing here isn't finalized (however, the head typifies the look of helmets for all of Karic's military powered armor).

Reminds me a bit of Appleseed by Masamune Shirow... Which is high praise.

Thanks, man.

Appleseed is easily my favorite manga (and very possibly my favorite comic/graphic novel, period). I'm glad that the influence shows through.

To be honest if it were a graphic novel I'd but it, were it a webcomic, I'd read it. Were it a game I'd damn well play it.

I would read this manga. That being said I don't read manga at all. However looking at the characters and interesting designs, it takes me back to days I wanted to do what you're creating. I'm glad someone out there is creating a similar universe (even better!)

This is pretty damn cool overall and this style would appear to lend itself very well to your Mecha/Character designs as well.
As has been said above, Go for it!
I for one await to see what you do with this Comic, if anything, with baited breath.
