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.
