Next Comic!

Hey everyone!

I wanted to post a quick little blurb about my next comic project. I'm currently working on 2 very awesome comics right now;

The Standard and The Hero Code

I'm having a BLAST working on them, and hearing people’s feedback is fantastic. Thanks so much to those of you who have read them, followed the books progress, sent in any feedback, or just creeping and checking out the art!

But this is where the personal work comes in. My available time I have for any sort of personal comic work is terribly limited. Realistically, looking at around 5-10 hours a week at MOST to work on it.

I’ve tossed many ideas around and came upon some old concept work (I included them in this post). I wanted to show the old stuff just to give you guys an idea of some of the topics and genre that the comic will be in. I’m thinking it will be around 20-50 pages. Something “quick” and do-able. One of the goals for myself this year is to get some personal work out there to you guys! Client work is wonderful, but personal work is something for the soul, and something that can spark the passion that you have in your chosen work. At least for me J

So, until a next update, have a great day, keep reading and making comics everyone!

*NOTE: These are concepts. The art will most likley be traditional comic art, not painted*

Panel Thumbnail

I posted this on Twitter last night, and thought I would share here as well.

This is a rough sketch for another project I'm working on. Again, I'll share more details soon, but the deadline on this project is very lax.

Enjoy!

Webcomic Style Test

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 :)

The Standard. Issue 2 pending cover.

Good Monday everyone!

I got the green light to show you the cover of the 2nd Issue of The Standard! As I write this, I realize I should have copied the Inks over as well. Maybe I'll do that later. But for now, hope you enjoy the colours, and hell, the entire cover :)

*This has been sent for approval, so slight changes may still be made to the final print version.

The Hero Code: Screengrab 32

Hey everyone!

I've been posting quite a bit of "Screen grabs" on my Twitter account. Since I've made the switch to digital work for most of comics work, I thought I should press the old "Print Screen" to share with you guys!

Today's quick one is an establlishing shot of a city in The Hero Code. One of the comics I'm working on with Jamie Gambell right now.

Talk to you soon!

Jesop King Mini Comic - Page 1

Hey everyone!

I was able to scrape some time up and finish page 1 of the mini comic. I will most likely do one more final pass over the art before I put the text in. Beefing up line weights and making things clearer if I need to. I'm still tossing around an idea for the title, but the main character is Jesop King. You can see the previous blog post here for some concept art for him. And here as well :)

Also, it's funny. All this time I've been bouncing around new ideas and concepts. In the end, I've come to the conclusion of using the story I first came up with, 'Da Hungah'. You can check that post out here as well.

This new version is a swap. Changing it to the world of Jesop King, but it will be essentially the same story as those pages in Da Hungah'.

So, enjoy! More pages coming soon!

Hero of the Day: Gambit

Seems like I'm slowing down on these. The last few entries have never seem completion. I may have to adjust my style a bit to keep it more "simple". Gotta try my best to fit these within the hour!

Till tomorrow!

P.S. Seems like I'm on an X-Men kick, so what the heck! This will be X-Men week...or 2 weeks :)

Hero of the Day: Superman

For some reason, whenever I draw Supes, I get scared. He's such an iconic character, that I always feel like I'll mess him up somehow! I rushed the "inks" on this one, as the hour ran up. Good practice!
