You may have noticed that our dispatches are being issued increasingly infrequently. For this you have our sincere apologies. The onset of convention season for Mr. Wiegle and the arrival of fatherhood for myself have made it difficult for us to maintain our weekly schedule. You will be seeing the resolution of Destructor’s encounter with the mysterious Lady, just not quite as quickly as we’d hoped.
That said, perhaps I may still be of some use to you while we await the next page. Do you have a question about Destructor the comic, Destructor the man, his world, or his humble chroniclers? Post it in the comments and I will answer it here on the blog, if it is within my power to do so. I look forward to speaking with you!
What aspect of Destructor would you say most comes from each of his “daddies”?
What’s the collaboration like in terms of character and environment design? I’m thinking specifically about Island Prison and The Lady. Are there design sketches done by Matt (that he could post)?
Also, would you start up a fan art section if you got submissions?
Thanks for asking! Sean has pretty detailed environment and character notes in his script, and I generally do some sketching to figure out how things are going to look and (especially) how they’ll be staged, which I’ll send along to him if I have questions and want to make sure of something.
I’ve got some stuff sitting around from Lady which I’ll put up in a later post; Not sure about Prison, since I drew that a while back, but I’ll put those up too if I can find the sketchbook(s) I was working in at the time.
Could you guys post your Destructor playlists! Either what you listen to when you write and draw, or what you’d think would make great soundtracks for readers?
The coloring is generally done to about 50-75% old episodes of The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross.
What detail of direction is given when writing Destructor? Any chance you can post an example of a script already published?
Look for the answer tomorrow, FBP!
I really enjoy just getting the “bits and pieces” type glimpses into Destructor’s powers – the mystery empowers the awesomeness of each new reveal… so without spilling any beans.. can you perhaps compare the totality of Destructor’s power level and hidden abilities with other sci-fi/fantasy/comic robot/armor-esque guys we’re familiar with? Like… is he on a Darth Vader-type level? Optimus-Prime?Galactus? etc… or would he just kick all those guys’ arses?
