Gamer Girl & Vixen: Artist Power Up!
I’ve got a fun little artistic treat for everybody today: another finished page of Gamer Girl & Vixen #1! But this page is actually kind of special in that you’ve already seen it before, a long time ago. This is Page #11, the moment where the girls meet and decide, almost instantly, that they need to work together.
When we first started working on Gamer Girl & Vixen last fall, we had series artist Gemma Moody whip us up six preview pages from the middle of the book to pitch to comic book publishers. Well between that preview and her work on the current issue, Gemma really leveled up her skill and style!
Check out the differences between the original page from last fall and the new page that’s going in the comic!
Though I’m going to miss that cat…
The change is pretty dynamic! We hired Gemma for her awesome, adorable art in the first place, and she’s only gotten better! Gemma also colored both pictures, and she did the lettering in the original page. The new letters are done by Taylor Esposito, and the difference is astounding. Trust me, good lettering is worth the price.
The first issue of Gamer Girl & Vixen is almost done! We’re still gearing up for the Kickstarter next month, putting the finishing touches on our page and all our rewards. If you’d like to help out with promoting the comic and the Kickstarter, let me know in the comments. Any and all help will be very appreciated.
And if you’re interested in following along on production, check out our website GamerGirlandVixen.com. The closer we get the more excited I get!

Gamer Girl & Vixen: Spreading the Word
Yesterday was a pretty huge day for Gamer Girl & Vixen, my own self-published comic. We’re gearing up for a Kickstarter in May, and the website AfterEllen.com decided to check out our comic and write up an article to help show us off! They are my heroes right now.
You can check out the article for yourself by Clicking Here. It’s a great little write-up and I am over the moon at the acknowledgement. So sorry in advance for gushing.
But hopefully After Ellen is just the beginning. We’re looking for anybody out there willing to help us spread the word about Gamer Girl & Vixen and gain some more followers ahead of the Kickstarter. A few of you henchies have already agreed to spread the word — and I couldn’t be more grateful. Seriously, that you readers would be willing to help me out like this is more awesome than I ever expected blogging to be.
Anybody who’s willing to help out, let me know! It’s as simple as visiting that After Ellen article and sharing it on your own social media. Or if you’ve got a blog or website, I can send you some preview pages of our comic to show off. You can check out the pages for yourself here. And you can also send people to our website www.gamergirlandvixen.com.
You Henchies have been a wonderful help so far, and I can’t thank you enough. We’re only one short month away from making this comic a reality, and I couldn’t be more pumped!

6 Page Preview of Gamer Girl & Vixen #1
It has been awhile since I posted Gamer Girl & Vixen news, so prepare for a mother load! We are proud to present to you a preview of Gamer Girl & Vixen #1. Here are the first 6 pages of our comic. These will be part of the finished product, and introduce both of our main characters.
The first issue is almost complete, and will hopefully be done by the end of the month. From there, we’re planning to finally launch our Kickstarter campaign in May to produce a second issue, and then to print and ship both issues to our backers. We’re nearing the final stretch to get our comic off the ground and into your hands!
But first we need your help! I know some of you readers are fellow bloggers, with your own comic book blogs. If anyone is willing to host these preview pages on their own blog to help spread the word of Gamer Girl & Vixen, please let me know. You can leave a comment at the bottom of this page or shoot me an email at GamerGirlandVixen@gmail.com. The only way my comic can succeed is if we get the word out, so I would greatly appreciate any help with this.
If you’d like to follow along more closely with the production, you can visit our new website www.gamergirlandvixen.com!
Now without further ado, join me after the jump for the rest of the preview! And let me know what you think in the comments! Thank you!
We Need Your Help with Gamer Girl & Vixen!
I can’t express you how exciting it has been to make Gamer Girl & Vixen and share it with all of you. This has been one of the coolest thing I’ve ever done, and we’re barely getting started! Right now though, I need your help with a little market research so we can better understand exactly what we’re getting into here.
I’m going to need some volunteers to answer a couple questions. Who’s in?
You’re our only hopes!
Our Kickstarter is drawing ever closer this spring, but all of the research in the world isn’t going to prepare us to fully understand how to succeed. There is no perfect guide on how to run a successful Kickstarter. So I’m hoping to get your help to knock around some ideas. You henchies will hopefully be a big part of our audience, so I thought I’d turn to see you find out what you would be interested in getting from Gamer Girl & Vixen. Your input can help drive this book.
Anybody who would like to help me, please send an e-mail to GamerGirlandVixen@gmail.com, and we can get to work! I just have a few questions, and hopefully we can get a discussion going. We would really appreciate your help.

Gamer Girl & Vixen: Meet Taylor Esposito, Professional Letterer
Big news this week, comic book fans!
It is with great pleasure that we welcome letterer Taylor Esposito to the creative team of Gamer Girl & Vixen! Formerly of both Marvel and DC Comics, Taylor is the lettersmith behind recent comics like Red Hood and the Outlaws, Constantine, New Suicide Squad, Vibe, Katana, Watson and Holmes, Bodies, and more.
Taylor has worn many hats in the comic book industry over the past several years, mostly in the graphic design side of things. He was a staff letterer at DC Comics for the past two years before leaving their employ in December. Since then, Taylor has decided to go freelance with his own graphics studio, Ghost Glyph Studios.
And one of the first projects Taylor signed up for was Gamer Girl & Vixen! Taylor discovered us through the Twittersphere and quickly offered us his talents to help make our comic a reality. He’s been hard at work for us behind the scenes for several weeks now, and he finally gave us the go-ahead to announce his involvement publicly.
As a special treat with the announcement, we present the completed first page of Gamer Girl & Vixen #1, with Taylor’s lettering! On this page, Vixen is narrating her opening heist!
Artist Gemma Moody is hard at work this month on finishing up issue #1 for us, and we’re going to share more completed pages in the weeks ahead. So stay tuned. We’re drawing ever closer to getting our comic off the ground, and now with the creative team complete, it’s only a matter of time!
If you’d like to follow along more closely with the production of Gamer Girl & Vixen, you can follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook. Both are updated frequently.
We’re also turning our Tumblr page into the Gamer Girl & Vixen HQ! There you’ll be able to see all preview pages we show off, as well as get some more background info on the project and the team.
I’ve also got another announcement for Gamer Girl & Vixen soon, so keep your eyes peeled to this blog. I’m going to need your help with something!
