I recently finished up a new pinup/poster image for my character 'JESOP KING'. I'm currently brainstorming, and coming up with the new chapter in his story. I wanted to take a break and draw him again, which lead to new story ideas, so more information as it happens.
Quick run down of what the challenge is;
-Create a 24 page comic book in 24 hours. This includes all artwork, all story, everything outside of mass production ha ha.
-No preparation can be done. Save for materials i.e. reference, sharpening pencils etc etc.
So why even do this? Well, the challenge of course! As all artist should know, it's always been about self expression, and knowledge. Always wanting to get better, increase ones skills, and be the best he/she can be. This means endless study, endless work at the grindstone, and endless passion to learn the mighty secrets of "getting better." What ever the heck that means!
Long winded conversation out of the way, I will be continually updating this post while I try and attempt to tackle this challenge. Hope you all enjoy watching this, and wish me success!

Hey friends!
I finished these up over the last few days. I've been bouncing around in my mind, weighing the pros over the cons. I keep thinking that I should keep these close to the vest for now, and I'm going to go ahead with that.
BUT! Before I stop cold turkey on you guys, I'll show you the doodles.
Keep in mind that these are simple style tests. Many things will change (style, black and white? Or colour? How Fantasy will the characters/story be? Will they be even MORE cartooney? etc...)
So enjoy the little sketches, and I'll keep you updated once some serious walls have been knocked down, and it starts to look like this will become a reality. Until then, I'll keep hacking away!
Keep reading comics, and keep MAKING comics everyone! Talk soon :)
Below is the entire 7 pages of the mini. I had some great time on this book for sure. Some downs, and some ups. Now that it's done, I can't wait to get back to it, and tell more stories of the great, JESOP KING!
Would you be interested in instructional videos, dealing with the creation of comic books, as well as anatomy? These videos would be over an hour in length with various prices.
