Space (I Believe In)

Here's another panel from "The Last Leaf". The inking for this is 98% done, I just have a few minor things to touch up. Then it's on to the next project... more Zombie, I believe...

Nothing To Say

A Last Leaf panel.

Umm... well... so... how about those Olympics...?

Greatest Mistake

Here's 2 more panels from The Last Leaf. The inking has gone well.... so far. Some of the pages are very thick with whiteout, though, which makes for some pretty ugly looking originals. Strangely, I don't really believe in "getting it right" the first time, in regards to inking. I don't mind making mistakes on the page. In fact, I've gotten good at using whiteout the moment things aren't going right.

Oh Yeah! You can get your own sneak peek of THE PERHAPANAUTS: MOLLY’S STORY (by Dezago, Weinstein, Copland and Thomas) : http://forum.superpouvoir.com/showthread.php?t=14426

Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)

This a character sketch for one of the main characters for The Last Leaf story.

Done on the Cintiq.

Gotta run!

Stars In The Sky

3 inked panels from "The Last Leaf". The pages are coming along. I seem to be happy with most of the inking, anyways. But, knowing me, that could change at any moment! ha

I just realized that there still needs to be some stars drawn in the windows in that first panel... oops.

The Perhapanauts: Molly's Story should be out in a couple of weeks! Make sure to grab a copy if you see it! And, I know you all know this but that UFO story I drew is now being serialized on the Ape Entertainment webcomics area. Here's a link to the latest page. Check it out and feel free to leave a comment and/or rating. Thanks!

Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy

Inking on The Last Leaf story has begun! Working in digital is fine for some things but it feels good to be inking it with good'ol brush and ink.

At some point, I'm going to be colouring this story, too. THAT will be done digitally.

Don't Change Your Plans

A rough panel from the Last Leaf story. I'm just finishing up the last of the roughs so I should be starting to ink the pages tomorrow.

That's the plan.... anyways.

Next To The Moon

This is what I'm currently working on, this morning. This is a panel from The Last Leaf. You can see that the hand is next for tightening up.

Digital drawing.

Once Upon A Time In The Projects

I'm finishing up the layouts/pencils for The Last Leaf. I'm pretty happy with them. This is a shot of one of the main characters tinkering with his latest project.

This is a mix of pencil and digital drawing.

Shock To The System

I'm still working on the layouts for "The Last Leaf" short. I'm well into them, actually, and they are turning out to be far more detailed than I was originally planning on them being. Which is ok, I guess. Makes for easier inking, when the time comes.

Also, I still haven't figured out a system on how to do the layouts. I thought I was going to do the them completely in digital form but I found it hard to get a sense of the page as a whole. I've gone back to pencil for the most part and will use the Cintiq do tighten them up, after scanning them. Seems to be working.

So Lonely

Here's another look at how I work out the perspective for a panel. It's a shot from the same setting as the last perspective image I posted. The background will be mostly be us looking out into space through the huge windows. The Last Leaf story has a real despairing and lonely feel to it, so I am trying to make the settings reflect that.

All done digitally.

Somebody Get Me A Doctor

I'm working on the futuristic retelling of O. Henry's "The Last Leaf". It will be a part of the Digital Webbing anthology that revolves around the idea of re-envisioned fairy tales with a sci-fi slant. I don't think the project has an official name. I'm working with writer, Jason Mullikin, on this.

This is a panel from that story. 100% digitally done. I will end up inking this traditionally but damn if those digital lines aren't super close to being good enough for print.

Ramblin' Man

Sorry, folks. Just a page of sketches to show. Haven't had any time or energy to whip something up. I'm sick. Again. Great start to 2010, eh?

Going to be putting all my time into drawing the Last Leaf story, for the Digital Webbing anthology. After that, I've got some zombie stuff to do for the 3rd installment of Zombie Bomb.

After that? Hoping to be going into production on a large project with writer and pal, James Powell. I've also been given word that I may be drawing another Perhapanauts Special, this one written by Rich Woodall. It starts Big, one of my favorite characters from the book, so I'm pretty stoked on that!

I'm rambling, now. Time to go take some decongestant and lay down.

Perspective

Boning up on my 2 point perspective. This is what's on my Cintiq, right now. It's a design for a dining hall in a spaceship. It's going to go through a few more changes but it's getting close.

Sweet Leaf

In between all this zombie stuff, I'll be working on a futuristic revisioning of O. Henry's "Last Leaf", written by Jason Mullikin. The story is a part of a Digital Webbing anthology that will be out sometime in 2010. This is my first attempt at developing the "Johnsy" (renamed "Shea" for our version) character's look.

Marker on paper.
