I can‘t believe there are almost 200 pages of Humanity Lost, we’ve come a long way together folks, thank you so much for supporting this project. 

Here’s also a little update on the physical release of the book. Unfortunately the two publishing houses which I’ve been talking with have gone silent, I’m going to carry on trying to push things forwards but if things continue like this, then I’m just going to have to self publish. It’s not what I want to do,but it seems publishers just don’t want to take the risk with an artist who has never been published before, which really sucks for new creators like myself. 

I’ll give you another update regarding this soon, but for now it’s time for all out Womb-World warfare baby!

..what about a Kickstarter or something? With 200 Pages and six chapters you would have enough to show for.

CallumStephenDiggle

I’ve been weighing my options, Kickstarter is one option, although the shipping could be expensive because I’m in England and the majority of my follower base is in the Western Hemisphere. I’ve been looking into a company called CRWN that prints and distributes your product for you out of America, so that could take care of the shipping aspects of things. There’s a lot to consider, that’s for sure! I would be releasing the book as volume 1, that’s the first five issues. I’m also going to include a guide to the Orion arm booklet in the back pages of the volume which with give information about the different species of the HL universe and I will also include bonus artwork like maps and conceptual artwork.

Lovely work it’s really awe inspiring!

Marcos

To many tentacles... I have seen enough hentai to know what is going to happen in the next few pages, lol. On the other hand, those are bad news for anyone who wants to publish and is new in the business. I hope you get some news from them soon and let us know if we can help in any way!

Davide

I'm very sorry Stephen, the two publishing house don't know what they are missing

Davide

My humble opinion, this is one of your best boards, seeing this display of Imperium forces makes it clear how much all life in the galaxy is in danger

Charlie Horse

Go ask what the comicsgate guys are using. They're often quite successful with their products.

CallumStephenDiggle

This isn’t that kinda comic my man 😂 Aye, it’s rough breaking into the business, I suppose if they see the first volume selling well though my self publishing efforts, they might be inclined to pick me up in the future. I’m going to keep trying them for a little while, but if they don’t bite then I’ll do it myself. I will, thanks Marcos! 🙌🏻

CallumStephenDiggle

I appreciate that Davide! There’s still a chance yet, it’s just tough getting an email back out of them. Fingers crossed though ey 🤞🏻

CallumStephenDiggle

Thanks man, I agree, I think it’s the best one that I’ve done to date.

CallumStephenDiggle

Yeah, I’ve heard that. I’ll take a look into what they do, I’m very new to this stuff.

publishers take like a 90% share of your book's profits i would tell you to self publish. well maybe is different where you live here where i live they take 90%

Erika Spooner

Leviathan vs Tandrax Star engine, which one would win? Also, what it is like onboard an Imperium ship for the soldiers?

Shawn Bond

Classic scenario…classic conundrum…I need experience to get a job but I need a job to get the experience. Same scenario. KS might seem the way.

Shawn Bond

Hmmm…I’m thinking Deicide doesn’t have the resources to match Leviathans.

Ryan

Kickstarter or indigogo bro I’ll help as much as I can

Captain_Torres

Hol up, there's 3 Leviathans on the warpath?

justanothernobody

Everyone wants someone with experience, but no one wants to answer how you're actually supposed to GET experience in the first place. Good to know that's universal.

CallumStephenDiggle

It’s a pretty across the board thing for many industries, you’re right there!

CallumStephenDiggle

A Tandraxian Star-engine is much larger, but I’d say it’s a coin toss to see who would win as they are both pretty evenly matched. On board it’s relatively nice when compared to the cramped conditions of other Imperium blood machines. The Leviathan actually has a horizontal O’Neil cylinder running the length of thicker part of its body. So it’s actually very spacious inside!

CallumStephenDiggle

Yeah, that seems to be the case. Self publishing is a lot of work though and it would take me away from working on Volume 2. I’d be going with American companies anyway because there’s just not much of a market here in England, I take it you’re American?

CallumStephenDiggle

It really is, man 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’ll keep trying because if I can manage to get on the ladder, it makes publishing sequential volumes much easier. I’ll definitely look into Kickstarter!

CallumStephenDiggle

He’s got a whole Womb-world there, he stands a fair chance, but that wormhole is wide open!

CallumStephenDiggle

I think Indigogo take less of a cut from your profits which is good. I appreciate that Ryan, thank you mate!

Matthias Danberg

you have come a long way! ...building your universe from nothing. drawing 200 Pages. stiching them together with a story. figuring out the rest will be easy. 💪😁

Erika Spooner

What do you think the day-to-day life of an Imperium troop would be like?

Fluffer

Here's a cheers to a 200 more!

Black Cloud

When your work gets published, and it will, I'm going to show this page to my friend and tell them these are the good guys.

Meggie

I don't have the eyes of a publisher but I don't doubt Humanity Lost would be successful in proper comic form. If you go the self-publish route, I will help support you. Also this page slaps so hard I gasped.

cubirk

can you put a flesh ball in page 200?

AZP

An alternative to using publishing houses could be Amazon, I know that there are quite a few self published books, so maybe that route could work?

cornerflag77

Have you thought about moving to America? Then self-publishing could be a real option and you will probably make more than enough to cover the cost of moving.

CallumStephenDiggle

It’s becoming more and more appealing the more I look at it. If I was to publish there, It has the advantage of staying in print because there wouldn’t be a limited print run 🤔

CallumStephenDiggle

I have thought of that, but I don’t think I can leave England. It’s home, you know? It has been home for hundreds of generations, I feel too attached to England to leave her. I’ll find a way to make it work from here, I think Amazon could be a good option.

jon jorgensen

God the imperium tech just gets more and more disturbing.

Gabu

The symmetry on the face like patterns at the top of the leviathan it’s so trippy! It’s like those optical Lucians, where you can see two images in one. The faces overlap! What is the orange glowing part under the face?

CallumStephenDiggle

It is a pretty trippy effect, I threw myself off a few times when drawing it trying the get the right amount of faces each side. That’s a huge eye!
