True Noir Tales Collection

Created by ERIC ERDEK

True Noir Tales drags you into stark black and white stories so brutally honest they’ll slap you awake. This collection isn’t just a bunch of tales; it’s a wake-up call to explore the epic, hidden dramas playing out in the shadows of your life!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

True Noir Tales... Still true. And noir

Hello, dear backers!
I'm excited to update you on our progress! I'm doing stellar work on the interior illustrations, and the results are simply amazing. (If I do say so myself)
After 2 months sick, I'm eagerly diving back into our lettering work pre-holiday, ensuring every page is perfect.
All the finished artwork is lettered (you know I write as I letter, no script) It's been a wild ride, and we can't wait to show you what we've been up to! So I will.

Here's a sample page of the new stuff.





The next step is to re-read the whole story up to now, then draw the last pages, then letter them!
I'll get as much done before Christmas then start up again after new year!
Thanks for all your support and for sticking with us. Your enthusiasm keeps us motivated every step of the way!

True Noir Tales - finished pages!

Hi!

I'm making great progress on the art of the True Noir Tales collection :-)

50 pages done so far, I thought that would be enough, but now think the story needs about 5-10 more pages.

Meanwhile... I think it would be super cool for you to have some pages to read right away! So with no further ado:








True Noir Tales Update!

Dear Backers that Really Rock!

The project is coming along well, I'm making super fast progress drawing the pages (no writing involved because I draw them right from memory!)

I have changed my drawing system a bit. I do a very loose sketch, then ink it. I used to draw True Noir Tales without sketching, but for this deluxe edition, I felt I needed to make it better than ever.

Here are some samples of the new art technique, they still need to be shaded.

I'll hit you up as more news comes up. Thank you again for your support!

Smoke out!

Hi!

 Smoke tests have best sent for True Noir Tales!

This is the last step before the surveys go out to everyone.
Pretty soon you will get a survey from Backerkit which is a formality to get everyone's address and info straight so that packing and  shipping the rewards can be more organized.

I'll keep you updated as things move along 

Stay Golden

Best,
 Eric

Dear Backers that Rule!

The race is run, thank you for your support. This project literally would not be made without you. 

I waited a few days to send this because there has been a flood of messages going out from all the Comictopia creators.

It was cool working with all of them and it was also a learning experience :-)


I'm taking the weekend off to celebrate and recuperate from the campaign.  I'll jump back on and I'll send more updates as the work on True Noir Tales progresses. 


Hope you have a good week end and a great rest of your summer!
