It appears there's some cross communication.

Looks like this situation was just cranked to 11.

Taking the shot... again?

The rendering stages of the climax have begun. It's been a grueling but a rewarding process. I'll hopefully have it wrapped up by the end of the month. 18 pages is a lot.. even if rendering is the last stage. Almost there! XD

Piper and Buster

This was a small tribute piece I did for someone that tragically lost their kitten (Piper the tuxedo) to a terrible incident earlier this year. Her brother Buster looked over her. Losing a pet is dreadful as I've experienced it multiple times. This was a small token of sympathy I could give. :3

Catching up on work, or just a convenient excuse?

Taking the shot

Just as an appetizer... the grueling 18-page set continues as base color is almost done. I did a test run of some rendering, so not necessarily the final product. Here's Titus hiding out in the woods being his sketchy self. :P

Lights, Camera, Action!

I'm about done with line art and color prep, but thought I'd throw up an action page since I don't feel I've shown much of that yet. Big things to come in the story. This is just a small taste. :P

It may look a bit drab with all the gray tone, but I assure you, once colored and rendered, this page will transform vastly. :D

As a little note, some of the fight sequences were referenced from Judo matches.

The grind continues

As I get lost in the grind while working on the comic, I keep meaning to post some of the progress for my patreons. This page above is one part of the assembly line process that I use. This stage is what I call "line art and color prep". This is the clean up phase after sketching where I get all the clean lines and color mask in all the characters, backgrounds, boxes, panels, etc....using a lot of layers, folders, and organizing.

It may look a bit drab with all the gray coloring and sim...

Taking a step back

This sketch of Holly is the last one of an 18-page set I just finished drawing. This will make a lot more sense in the future as the story progresses, but as a standalone, you can take it as is.

I've spent over 5 years developing my artistic craft on this art journey and at least 4 on developing the world and story. The page I just finished tonight had me in tears. There really is an attachment to these characters after this much investment, and this night proved it. I really hope this ...

There's some freaky stuff going on here.

The situation intensifies

I wanted to share with my $5 patreons one of my recent sketched pages. I must say this section of the book (aka the finale) is taking a toll on me. :P It's turning out to be a much higher amount of pages than anticipated, all in the interest of trying to keep good pacing and visual storytelling. 

I have a lot of practice to do for action and fight sequences, boy howdy. It's been a slow and grueling pace, but I'm slowly getting there. Anyway, without much context, hopefully you can ...

A Retro Take

I was sketching Titus in the comic and at a certain point, I couldn't help but feel he looked like someone in an 80's standup routine. So one thing lead to another and um... this happened. I think the Seinfield theme is about to start. XD

Things intensify :3

Just a few sketches from the new pages I've been working on. Titus and Abram are having a rough time, at least one of them is. :3

Behind the scenes

I thought I'd share a typical night of chugging away. I swear, the more monitors you have, you WILL find a use for them! XD I got references on the left, script, music, chat on the right, and the creative middle. Normally my cat Kepler would be pawing the screen and driving me insane, but I've been lucky tonight so far.

Anyway, if you wondered where the magic happens, here's a peak, and a freshy new page (still very rough).

P.S. Dave Brubeck FTW

Taking the shot

Just slamming away at more material. This here was a shot I had stirring around in my head for awhile and finally made it come to fruition. It's not exactly what I was after (is it ever? lol) but thought I'd share this with my Patreons. There's some serious stuff at play here! This is all still VERY rough. :D

Titus here has a fancy new weapon, which is actually a 3D model a friend of mine helped me with, completely custom. It uses electricity and laser like firing (ala Star Wars), proto...

Hot off the press, out cold in the rain...

I've been recently juggling multiple projects over the last few months as I just finished up a children's book (more on that as details develop). Since finishing my last major set of pages, I'm now beginning into the biggest part of the volume. I've really wanted to make some production changes in how I approach the process, including usage of 3d models to really help cement the look.

I'm using some free stock 3d models I've found as place holders to give me guidelines once I actually g...
