No updates for awhile

Co-Creator Kristján Ingólfsson is currently studying art in Denmark.

The first book is still being inked and colored by our new colorist Bjarney, but things, like always, are taking time.

The second book is still being written and drawn.

Everything is still in production, though nothing of value is here to be told about.

Sorry about that.

The First Issue keeps on inkin'!

The first 15 pages of Bloodshed #1 have been colored by Ragneheiður and the next are now being inked by Kristján.

The comic might also get introduced to Icelandic audiences with FURÐUSÖGUR, a new anthology comic book looking for new and interesting stories.

Goodbye to Ragnheiður

We entered 2010 with big smiles on our faces for the journey a head. We have been working on this comic book since 2006 and have been working on the idea for even longer then that. But around 2009 we met Ragnheiður, who shared our passion for storytelling and was a very fine colorist.

In 2010, due to her heavy schedule with various things, she unfortunately had to stop coloring Bloodshed for us.

Her work will however not go unnoticed as she will continue and finish the first chapter/issue before stopping completely. Her work in the comic has really made ours shine.

The picture I have here is not from the first issue, but the second. This was the first picture she colored when we were still discussing if she had both the time and skill to do so. The skill she had, the time she did not. But she joined us anyways. It was very fun working with her in this short time she was able to join us. The first issue is almost being finished in color and we are already discussing with two other colorist who might be able to join us. Here's hoping that this won't slow down the release of the first book by too much and that Ragnheiður Ásta might have the chance and time to join us again before this journey is over.

Merry Christmas!

There's Christmas tomorrow, so I just thought I'd drop in with a "Yo ho ho and some gum gum". Heh... One Piece..

Well, I just wanted to let everyone know that Bloodshed is still going strong. And just because of lack of blogging does not mean that we have suddenly stopped or anything. We are still working on to releasing the first book as well as finishing the second. But that still may take some time. Most updating will be done on this blog, but I do not expect many followers to arrive until maybe the first book is out. Still, better to let people know we are out there now then never.

I just had a dream which I want to incorporate into a future story perhaps. I will at least write it down.

Thanks for reading!
Have a good 2010!

The Bloodshed Blog!!

I guess some introduction is in order.

BLOODSHED is a graphic novel that is written and drawn by Bjarni Gautur and Kristján Ingólfsson. With colors by Ragnehiður Ásta.
Guest writers/pencilers include Einar Darri, Andri Kjartan and Höddi Björnssen.

The story is as follows:
On Weynos Island exists a portal to both Heaven and Hell. For centuries, demons have been trying to find a way to open the portal so they can invade and conquer the universe and other dimensions. Standing in their way is the fifth horseman of Apocalypse, Bones who is building up a rag tag team known as the Protectors in order to stop this from happening as well as protect the portal to Heaven from any attacks. The team consists of Saro, a divorcee who finds his grandfather's costume which gives the wearer super abilities, his best friend Mammam, the cybernetic construct known as Four, a Nexus general called Tanax, the vigilante Boris and the mysterious Infernus, as well as two computer geniuses nicknamed LL and Geeko.

The first book or novel, or what ever you want to call it, will either be the first four chapters or the first five chapters (we haven't fully decided yet).

The entire first book has been penciled and written and me and Kritján (as well as our guest writers/artists) are working on the second book. The first book is currently being colored.

Here's hoping people will like it.
