Weekly Update #2 - Getting to know Albie the cat.

Hi everyone!

Weekly Update #2  is here!

Who is Boomcat when he is not Boomcat? Albert of course! Although he prefers to be called "Albie".

Anyways, Albie is quite a unique cat. He lives in Guapulo, a district in the city of Quito. It is a pretty iconic "barrio" in the city too. It's often classified as a bohemian neighbourhood with many artists and such. I personally picked this area for Albie's neighbourhood because I feel it's a great place for him to be in, as your walk through the streets you can instantly feel inspired, it's iconic to Quito, it's simple quite a great place!

A picture I found of Guapulo, next time i'll post some of my own!

Besides, Albie lives with Wallace in an apartment as roommates. Wallace is an plastic artist and also a musician, who likes to meditate, improvise on the guitar, and paint anything he has near him. He is helping Albie become a more peaceful being, and not to look back in anger. Basically Wallace is a mentor for our hero, since he shows him the path to illumination, the path of inner peace.

They both have a great relationship, Albie is even into art and music himself.

Albie is a normal yet not normal cat also. He likes to play the violin in the rooftop of the house, paint his paws on walls, meditate, and even has a habit of reading comics and watching anime or action movies on tv. However when he sees a yarn ball he completely loses it and basically becomes hypnotised by it, not to mention laser pointers. One funny thing is, even when he is Boomcat he maintains those habits; probably the strangest one is his relationship with dogs, Albie is actually creeped out by dogs, a mixture of disgust and fear. Albie also loves to eat tuna or any kind of fish, he likes to take naps and listen to Wallace play on the guitar which is usually blues or classic rock.

Well that would be it for this week, sorry for the delay, I will try to post something this week again to compensate! So, about Albie, what would you like to know more of him?

Any comments, questions, suggestions? Let me know via comments or on our Facebook Page!

Weekly Update #1 - The Script

Hi Everyone!

Weekly Update #1 is here!

Wait... What are weekly updates??

Weekly Updates will be "Weekly Updates" (RLY?!) with the progress of the web comic.

For example, for every issue I am planning to do:

1) Script phase

2) Storyboard phase

3) Drawing phase

Usually I will post sneak peeks of the script, the storyboard, or a drawing.

The idea of this is to give you guys something nice to peek until issue #1 is released.

When will issue #1 be released?

I honestly don't want to lie to anyone, Issue #1 is aimed to be released early 2016.

It does seem like a lot of time, but I must assure you a nice job before publishing anything, which is the reason why I am taking my time to give you guys something great!

Weekly Update #1 Sneak Peek:

This is a fragment for issue #1, it's not the start, nor the beginning, it's just a little teaser i'm throwing in of the script.

For scripting I'm using a nice software I found online called "Celtx" it's a nice tool for scripting not only comics, but movies, or any other project. You should check it out here!

Anyways,

Please if you have any other comments, suggestions, or questions, be sure to leave em' in the comments section of the blog or on the Facebook page!

Good vibes and Good Cattitude to Everyone! I'm out!

Boom Boom Cat! The Road to the Webcomic!

Hi everyone!

Daniel here, I would like to thank everyone who has supported Boomcat since the time he was a kitty with no name! This blog has been created to post the progress of the webcomic that will eventually be released.
For those newcomers, Boomcat is a superhero that was born while I was taking the online course "The Rise of Superheroes and their Impact on Pop Culture, Class Popx1.2x, by the SmithsonianX institution and edX"
The Kitty had quite the spotlight during the course, and of course, thanks to everyone who supported Boomcat, he is gonna live, all Thanks to YOU!

Stay tuned, in this blog I will be posting concept art, the progress, a few teasers, and many things that will eventually lead to the webcomic. Think of it as "The Road to the Webcomic"!

Good vibes and Good Cattitude to everyone, I'm out.
