Pressure Point Part 2 (WIP) Pages 12-25.

Here is the baseline sketches of the remainder of the Pressure Point comic. You should be able to tell what are placeholder illustrations and what are intended to look closer to the final product. Now I get to go back over this and make cleaner lines and redraw some sections. Then I go back and Color, then Light and Shade, then fill in the background. It'll be a while, but thanks to you being a deluxe subscriber, you'll get to see how things turn out for Daniel and Eli before anyone else! Tha...

Get Well

Got fed up waiting and got myself a new pen! So I'm back to creating! Here's a little thanks for the patience!

Table Scraps

As I continue to wait for my replacement stylus to get here (should get in around early December) I didn't want my Patrons thinking I had forgotten about them.
I attached a series of concept sketches to tide you over in the meanwhile and thank you for sticking with me. check out the captions for info on the pictures!

Pressure Point Cover

Here's an update on Pressure Point, a colored and shaded cover for the book, might edit it more, add detail or something else. I've started sketching out the plan for the end of the comic, but my pen is malfunctioning making that difficult. Luckily due to the contributions of my Patrons, I'm able to afford a new one!
Face-up officially won the poll, so just trying to figure out just how immediately Daniel and Eli get into it and how things wrap up! ;)
I'll be sure to share progress upd...

Pressure Point - Where to go from here?

Eli McKaber in Pressure Point (Line Art)

Hey there guys!  I'm going to be asking my Patrons to decide the direction of this comic. Once I get that I'll draw out the rest and color everything in. In a few days this comic will be released in it's current state more publicly, but only you get to decide where it goes from here. I'll be adding a poll for my deluxe subscribers to let me know what direction you want to see!
Thanks for everything guys! Hope you enjoy Eli's latest adventure!

Daniel (Preview)

Meet Daniel! Trying to get a good look for this character took a little time, but I eventually settled on this appearance. here's the completed line art for the character, complete with the new bolder outlines I'm experimenting with. He'll be opposite Eli in the latest comic book, about a massage gone wrong, or right... ;)

Massage Comic Preview

Hey there, continuing to do illustrations for fun, but in the meanwhile I'm also working on the next Eli McKaber adventure. In this one Eli enlists the help of a fellow classmate (pictured) in his massage class to run through the motions of a professional massage session. Just so happens, he's Eli's type. Doesn't bode well for Eli keeping things above board, especially as his classmate shows him some of the tricks he's learned.
The comic is still in the very rough draft stages, (haven't e...

Corrections

To showcase how much quicker it is to do things messy, I thought-up, sketched, colored, lit and shaded this one in less than two hours, on a whim right after my previous post. hope you like it!

Tailor

Just a rough colorized sketch. Might do more like this because it's a lot faster than making fine lines, but looks a little less polished. Thought I might try to make an animation of some kind based on this pose, but that takes quite a lot of space and effort to get right. Might try for that another time.

TSA

I had a friend tell me once he always got flagged at airport security when he went through the full body scanners. I doubt the real scans are in full color and shading, but cartoons don't have to be totally realistic right? Still, can't imagine it would be too terrible having to give this guy a secondary pat down.
Higher level patrons will probably get variations on this post as well.

Cover Concept

A friend suggested I should have a unifying something that ties my comics together, so I'm toying with the idea of a shared cover format. This is a rough design of what the "Frat House Party" cover would look like. Let me know if you have any thoughts!
