Long time New sketches!!!
It's been a while since the last post and I stil have the NYC trip 'notes' somewhere to post so I'll see if I can get to that this weekend. In the meantime I have some new sketches for you all that I didi recently while at the day job.
I started this sketch with the figure first, trying out a new angle and seeing how it'll come together. The other elements came to me during the day to keep experimenting on how the environment would snap itself into place based off of te orignal angle of the figure. I'll get to finishing it up soon, but for now it's a good insight to how I sometimes work when pencilling.
Another sketch that started with the figure first. Going with the fllow with a rock band theme, I started with the singer and after I had him pencilled in, I decided it needed something else to punch it up a bit. Enter guitarist. It's a fast fun piece just to keep my drawing hand warm and in check. Btw, bonus to anyone who can guess what type of guitar he's playing...

Latest going ons
Ok so next week I'll be in NYC and I'll (attempt) to do a daily summary of the places/eats and things seen that day. I think it'll be fun and hopefully educational. LOL
Comic news: Still working away on Kolchak. Since I'm doing pencils and inks, I've taken this opportunity to greatly improve the pencilling I did. Fixing figures, faces, adding shadows, blacks, you name it. So far my editor loves it and the colorist as well so I may be on to something. On the downside it's taking a bit longer than I'd like for it too but then again I have a day job that eats up 10 -11 hours of my day so tha fact that I'm able to get this work out at the speed I'm doing it is a feat in and of itself. Plus I have inside info that there was an artist that took 2 years to do pencils and inks for 20 pages. 2 Years!!!
Right now I have 15 pages pencilled and inked and I started in january/February with the work. I think but it's still under a year.
Yeah I may take a while with the artwork but I strive to improve each and every page and to push my talent level to the next stage. And it pays off in that I'm faster now and at a better consistency than before.
Anyhow, before I bore you guys to sleep... I'm off to get some pre-trip errands done. Until then, I'll see ya when i see ya.

Latest Happenings...
Alright then, since my last post here I've been head deep in inking/pencilling that now infamous Kolchak story which should be out by the fall. I'm also working on, well actually, conceptualizing one webcomic concept and scripting another. The image for the latter is the Teaser Image I posted here a few months ago.
Now that is going on track and is getting somewhere. For now it's going to be the equivalent of a 3 issue mini series (maybe 4) so it'll have a beginning and end.
Asides that, i have some sample pages that I need to pencil to present alongside some ideas conjured up with Paul Storrie and another set of sample pages for another publisher.
On the Moonstone front, some interesting things are going on but of course I cannot say, but if it does come through, well let's just say that a lot of people will love it and a handful envious.
And on the continued education side, I'm re-re-re-re-re-reading...

Progression...
Well the facebook fan page just hit 100 fans and growing. Not bad and I have Kolchak in the final stages right now. Working with an ex-Vertigo colorist which will be fun, and starting a new pencilling stint next month with a company half way around the world. Should be excited and challenging. Have a somewhat 'commissioned' sketch I'm doing which I'll get online probably on Monday or Tuesday of next week.
I also have inks for Kolchak that are going out. Can't show them just yet however, I can show the pencils for the first 3 pages. That is once the changes/edits have been finalized.
Also have plans to attend the Wizard Con again this year and after that a week in NYC. Have a few beers and many thank yous to distribute. I'll see if maybe a Buckaroo Banzai signing can be pulled off and take advantage of my stay in the Big Apple and who knows, maybe I might 'bump' into an editor or two.
You never can tell...
