Chapter 1 just around the corner!
The final revision has been made to text in chapter 1 of The American Mastiff’s first saga Toe the Line. Rhardo, the graphic artist, has completed the flat colors of the first chapter but is going to add shading and depth to the scenes. For now, I’ve posted the digital sketches to the comic’s Facebook Fan page http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-American-Mastiff/238577615759. I continue to be impressed with Rhardo’s work. I’m ready for chapter 2 to go into production already LOL. G2GFFU3FTDAM

Chapter 1 Illistrations for Toe the Line
Just a quick update. There’s been a delay in publishing the first chapter as I’ve had to prioritize a few things. However, late last week Rhardo sent me pencil drawings of the illustrations that will accompany my story. I hope you all appreciate it as much as I do! Rhardo has done another fantastic job with the sketches and I’m looking forward to the final colorized pieces. Then, I’ll be posting them with the first chapter of the story.
Here’s a sample sketch!

Here is the The American Mastiff Logo. I’ll soon begin obtaining promotional products (e.g., shirts, cups, Frisbees for dogs, etc.). In the next month or two I’ll also be posting online surveys about the characters and taking you opinions and thoughts on the characters, storyline, and issues of today compared to what The American Mastiff is going through.

Flat Color Version of Cover
The cover is coming along and that means the opening of the comic will become available soon! The American Mastiff will be like Superman, Black Panther, Iron Man, Wolverine, Batman and Captain America all rolled into one and yet nothing like them at all. You’ll want to tune in on the epic comic that will be like no other.

A Comic Book like no Other
He’s no Captain America, his past is not as dark as Batmans, his wealth is not as deep as Iron Man’s….
You’ll need to come along for the ride to see what makes The American Mastiff interesting, different and modern.

The protector is coming….
He’ll be like no other hero you’ve heard of, he’ll fight evil on the American/Mexican border, and he’s continually dealing with internal strife of “pure race” while, still, helping all traces and races within America borders but most particularly in the city of Charlemagne, Texas.
Once the final cover of the comic is complete the American Mastiff story will begin to be unraveled. Return to learn his origin, philosophy, nemesis and how he manages all that along with his secret identity and the love of his life.
