While Everett Soares, the creator of Sky Pirates NFT Games, has been working on this concept for over 2 years, it truly did not come to life until he met Brian Brinlee, the current penciler for the project. In December 2006, the 2 were introduced. They started working on concept sketches and before they knew it, Everett’s words came to life on 11 x 17 artboards.
Four months and 8 pages later, they stumbled upon the chance of a lifetime, Small Press Idol. SPI is an American Idol-like competition for aspiring artists and creators. Everett entered the competition with work that he and Brian had done so far. What occurred over the following year was beyond any of their expectations! And joining them on the journey was Michael W. Kellar as an inker and Jet Amago as colorist/toner.
Sky Pirates NFT Games finished in 2nd Place in Small Press Idol, ultimately selling over 400 copies of Issue #0 that Dimestore Productions published as a result of the competition. Shortly after the end of the competition, Free Lunch Comics extended an offer to publish Sky Pirates NFT Games.
Now fans have the opportunity to share in the joy and excitement of Sky Pirates NFT Games. Everett, Brian, and Michael travel throughout their areas promoting Sky Pirates. They are all very proud of their accomplishments and look forward to the future of Sky Pirates NFT Games and their careers in the comic book industry.
Everett and Brian would like to welcome the newest members to the Sky Pirates NFT Games team – Alex Rivera and Keith Murphey. Not only did these gentlemen work hard to make our final issue in our first chapter a gorgeous product, but they will also be joining us for the next chapter. Alex will be our series inker and Keith will be assuming the newly established role of Art Director, ensuring that the art is the best possible work we can produce.
