Hello Everyone! Welcome To The First Ever Jackal Project Update Post. These Will Be Posted On The First

Hello everyone! Welcome to the first ever Jackal Project update post. These will be posted on the first of every month to report how development is coming along so you can follow along, as well as extra doodles and other stuff you may want to know. 

If you are unfamiliar with the project, please feel free to consult the pinned post and account description!

To start, my name is Niko (@Niko.jpeg), and I’ll be running this show for the foreseeable future. There's a chance more people may end up helping out, but for now it’s just me and my art tablet. Feel free to shoot me an ask if you have any questions, and I will do my best to give an answer. 

I unfortunately don’t have much to share this update, as progress on the project has only really just begun to pick up speed. I have some silly concept doodles I can probably go ahead and drop here, but everything else is a little messy as of now. I will however give you the Part One designs for Finn and Hattie.

Daw. Aren’t they adorable? I sure hope nothing bad happens to them in the far future. There’s more to their little gaggle, don’t worry, but for now, that's all I’ll be giving you. I mean, you get to see Lucky at the top of this post. That only leaves 2 characters whose child designs are hidden! I have to have *some* new stuff to give you guys!!

Onto the actual progress check I guess. 

TEST COMICS: Script complete, sketch in progress

PART ONE: Script complete, sketch in progress

PART TWO: Storyboard in progress

PART THREE: Storyboard in progress

SCHEDULED RELEASES: Test Comics, mid to late March 

“Storyboard” really just refers to the basic detailed idea, the rough sketch before the script. We’re doing pretty well! The Test Comics are just some practice runs of making comics in this style. Both these and Part One are 2 issues long and will be released pretty soon. The test comics will be released before the story itself, but are 100% canon! 

I originally had 3 issues planned, but I ended up cutting the original second one because it felt out of place. It was originally supposed to take place during Forces, but didn’t actually feature any of our 5 jackals. It was intended to be an action sequencing practice, but I have shelved it for later. It will be back, don’t worry. I will share a liiiiiitle piece of concept art I did for it though. As a treat. 

Thanks for reading, see you sometime this month. 

Here’s a frame from issue one of the test comics for the road.
