Red Lantern - Sacrifice (Book 3) Script
🕑 Added 2020-07-28 22:32:26 +0000 UTCThis month's story submission is going to be a little unusual, but I'm hoping it'll be an exciting surprise for many of you. I'm getting back into work on Red Lantern, specifically Book 3, 'Sacrifice'. This has meant, since it's been literally 6 years since I last touched it, a complete re-tooling of the script. Including adding a few new scenes.
This is a rare peek at the upcoming scenes in book 3, beginning at the beginning, of course. It covers about 1/4 of the graphic novel. These are the bones I base my story-boarding on. The script format is my own, I do not follow specific film or television script formats (oh god, flashbacks to college, ugh).
A quick FAQ -
Is the dialogue and scene direction absolutely final? - No, not at all. This is a guide, and while much of the dialogue WILL make it into the final comic, I edit and make changes as I go. What's more, just like with Kindred, I'm open to critiques here.
Is the page count final? - Again, not in the least. Scenes/dialogue often get shifted as I storyboard, and I usually go over, not under.
When will the first page come out??? It's been long enough already! - I knooowwww. I'm so sorry for the wait folks, I've been working on catching up on commissions and menagerie images, which I really have to prioritize. I'm hoping to post another round of WIPs, this time with characters, this week. I hope the script will hold you all in the mean time. The nice thing about having the backgrounds ready to go, and my process of working on RL these days in general, is that it's like a staircase. Once a set of assets is done, or a block of linework is done for a few pages, things progress very quickly. It's just getting that work done at the outset that takes a while.

True. But it’s 50/50 right now seeing things. Amon could either have a happy ending with Luther and go back to his mansion and have his happy life with Luthers wife and kids or it could end in crap with him dying for nothing and making Luther miserable. I prefer the first one. Even if it ends in a bloody battle, I want Luther winning and getting his mate Amon and happy ending with both of them just living life to the fullest at the end. I hope this happens and not the depressing one.

This is Rukis we're alking about, right? ;-) We all would love for Amon to have a wonderful happy ending.

"She doesn’t LIKE anyone, honey.” Ha! It's so cool to see this part of your process.

I just want Amon to have a happy ending. Please so much has happened to him from the very beginning, it’s only fair for him to be happy at the end with something. That’s all I ask in the end

A few reactions: HELL YEAH DELILAH, tell their fucking asses! ''...Who emphatically does not have time for his shit right now'.' Can't wait to see THAT expression... though it's probably just... her normal expression, actually. Also after finishing a certain book, I also can't wait to hear from a certain stripped hyena ;3

Dhaval's confusion is just so... adorably hilarious XD.

You definitely know how to twist the hearts of your readers.

WIP or not, the feels are stabbing me in this one as i read it! I can't wait to see this in graphic novel form.

Are you trying to kill me?! My heart literally skipped a beat when I got the email ping! XD Reading it now! [EDIT] Okay, gave it a read. I'M NOT CRYING IT'S JUST RAINING INDOORS. A wordy start, but then politics usually is, so very fitting. Definitely would recommend keeping that in just to highlight how stuck up their own arses the Lords are. I love how everyone's turned against Manjusha too, and how she uses her hired muscle to keep them in line. God, I can't tell you how on the edge of my seat I am right now. RUN LIKE THE WIND, DHAVAL!

still can't wait to read it.
