The Rest is GIANT ROBOTS

We continue our occasionally dizzying journey through our respective self-published works, and just about manage to keep things from falling apart.We go ever deeper into To The Death, Oxygen, Horizon and Five Points (and its' the in-the-works sequel, The Gyre), examining mistakes made and lessons learned along the way... like don't make your first go at creator-owned ten 48-page prestige-format print comics... but somehow we're still gung-ho to go to do something together with The Engine down the line. Some lessons, it seems, are never learned!As ever, we welcome your comments, questions and feedback. [email protected]

The perils, pitfalls and perks of self-publishing come under scrutiny, as we delve into our respective creator-owned projects.We go in deep on To The Death, Oxygen, Horizon and Five Points (not to mention the in-the-works sequel to Five Points, The Gyre), both in terms of conception and the sometimes rocky road to print (or otherwise). It's been a learning curve since we both started developing our creator-owned projects and the how-to/when-to/in-what-form decisions, some good, some not-so, we've made along the way. The pluses and minuses, the highs and lows, we're putting it all out there! Part 1 (of 2, at least!)For more stuff and video etc come see us at WILDFUR.NET

Another abrupt U-turn sees us back at the tail end of 2004, as the Dreamwave era of TRANSFORMERS implodes. But... it never ends!As TFNation continues to unearth and reconstitute buried (unpublished) treasures from the dying days of Dreamwave, we take a deep dive into those troubled last months of the company's tenure as TRANSFORMERS (comics) license holder to explain why it happened, what it meant to the creators affected, and why the script and art from those unpublished issues is only now seeing the light of day.EXTRAS:TFNation One Day Convention https://tfnation.com/mini-con-reading-25A piece of history.

Not a Star Trek spin-off,  rather life - and workload - after RG1, as we disseminate the art of scaring up new work without looking desperate.We turn the spotlight on the period post-TRANSFORMERS: REGENERATION ONE, circa 2014-15, as TV storyboarding and Titan Comics - in the shape of Dragons: Riders of Berk - come to the rescue. There's an art to hitting up people for work without appearing needy, and we get into that a bit, as well as just our usual round-up of what else was on our respective plates. As ever, as some doors close, new ones open. Such is the nature of the biz!Want to see this as a video and with a load of extra natter from us?

EP32: (RE-) START YOUR ENGINESWe loop back again, to get the inside story on our early 2000s shenanigans as Wildfur Productions, and answer other listener questions!The Engine: Industrial Strength - our first foray into creator-owned self-publishing - gets a fuller review, prompted by a listener request, as does the overall output of Wildfur Productions itself (though 'output' might be stretching the definition), plus we dip into our mailbag for more questions (and try and give semi-intelligible answers).
