These are the pencils for the cover of the Devil Spy graphic novel, hope you like how it turned out!
The book cover will be digitally inked and colored for print, but the original art is available as a reward through the Kickstarter and will be hand inked and colored with Copic ink and markers.
There's just 15 days left to get the book funded, we still have a long way to go to reach goal, I hope we can make it. I really want to make this book a reality. Check out the 2017-01-31 07:28:36 +0000 UTC View Post

Hey everyone! These are the pencils for the back cover of the Devil Spy book. The Kickstarter is a little shy of halfway funded with only 18 days left. I really hope we get to goal so I can make this book a reality. :)
I was hoping to work on the pencils for the front cover this weekend, but alas I am in Seaside right now and I forgot to bring it with me.
The back and front cover will be drawn together on an 11"x17" piece of bristol paper and available as a reward through the Kicks...

We definitely need MOAR chubby leads in comics... (and entertainment in general, haha). I was just thinking about this last night so I decided to draw this. Hope you enjoy it. :)
The Devil Spy Book Kickstarter is almost up to $750. I hope we surpass the $800 mark today. I'm really looking forward to reaching the halfway point ($1500) hopefully soon, I've heard that...

Hey everyone! Hopefully you saw the news last night, but I know I posted it late... Everything for the Devil Spy Book Kickstarter campaign is ready to go! I'm planning to send it to Kickstarter for review tonight! Approval can take up to 3 days and hopefully there wont be any snags.
Above is the main image for the campaign (with some text I added to announce the launch is coming soon!) I hope it's really eye catching and will get people's attention on the Kickstarter site!
Sorry to spam ...

Hey everyone! I forgot to post a couple of Vincent and Ben drawings over here, sorry about that! I hope you enjoy this one. It's an inked and colored version of a sketch I did a few days ago. DEFINITELY my favorite drawing of the year so far. :)

Not sure yet when the official launch of the Devil Spy Book Kickstarter will be, I still have a few things I need to get done but it should be soon. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks so much for your continued support!

Sketch dumps like this are usually available each month for $5+ a month patrons, but I've made this one public so everyone can see what they typically look like. :) Hope you like it!
From top left:
My therapist asked me to try drawing some non canon sketches... I couldn't think of much, haha. But I drew DS in Wyatt's clothes, Wallflower buying a can of beans and some sort of like post apacolyptic scenario Amber with a weird gun.

Good morning everyone! This is a hand inked and colored Devil Spy page. You may recognize it from Chapter 7 (page 97, I think). I'm planning to offer hand colored pages as a Kickstarter reward and I needed to get one done as an example, I hope you like it. :)
I wish my scanner did a better job with marker stuff though, haha. The page looks a lot better in person. I wonder if I should just a take a picture of the page rather than scanning it. :P
Anyway, I think this was the last peice of ...

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all having a great day. :)
I am planning to offer large digital commissions as one of the reward levels for the Devil Spy Book Kickstarter, but I realized that I didn't have any recent examples, so I drew this large picture of Vincent and his friends having lunch. I think Vincent is being melodramatic about something and Maddie is pretending to not know what he's talking about (which is making him even more melodramatic, haha). Ben is amused, Ethan i...

Good morning everyone, here's the sticker designs for the Devil Spy Kickstarter! The 4 sticker set will be included at every reward level (with the exception of the PDF since that doesn't require mailing anything, haha). Hope you like 'em. :)
I'm mostly finished putting the campaign together, I have just a few more reward levels to finish. I'm planning to spend the rest of the week working on that hand colored Devil Spy page so I can upload it as an example.

This is one of the prints I'll be offering as a reward in the Devil Spy Book Kickstarter! The prints are all 8.5"x11" in size and there are 4 in total. Hope you like it. :)
I'll be sharing some more sneak peeks of Kickstarter stuff with you all this week. I have sticker designs in the works. Also, one of the higher tier rewards I'm offering are the original pencilled Devil Spy pages and I'm considering offering a few of them hand inked and colored with Copic markers.

Good morning everyone! Here's another print for the 4 print set I'll be offering as a Kickstarter reward. This is an illustration that I used for my 2nd Kickstarter promo but I really, really liked it and wanted to make a print out of it. So I added some background details to it, I think it turned out really nice. I hope you like it!
I'll be posting Kickstarter stuff as I complete it early for patrons (this stuff wont be posted publicly until the campaign starts next month). I still have 2 mor...

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all having a rad day. We're pretty much snowed in over here in Portland, which is okay with me since I need to catch up on work anyway. :)
This is one of the prints that I'll be offering in the print set reward of the Devil Spy book Kickstarter coming next month. I'll be posting the artwork I'm doing for the Kickstarter early for patrons, basically whenever I complete something. The rest of the world will get to see it when the Kickstarter is going. I hope...

I've started really working on the Devil Spy Book Kickstarter over the weekend... I'm only about ankle deep right now but I'll probably be in over my head soon, haha. I started putting the campaign together on the (Kickstarter) website so that's coming along. I still need to make a bunch of reward banners and stuff like that, on top of designing the prints and stickers and all that. I'll be sharing the sketche...

Good morning everyone, here's the latest Willem page for you. I've been trying to get a little more adventurous with the angles I use to depict the characters. I hope it looks okay.
It's currently snowing here in Portland, but as soon as it hits the ground, it disappears. I don't think it's cold enough to stick around, which is fine by me. Snow was one of the major reasons we fled the east coast, haha. The cats are enjoying the show through the windows anyway.
Hope you are all having a g...

Good evening $5+ patrons! Here's the sketch dump for November. Sorry it's a day late. :)
These are just a few sketches I've done over the past month including a short auto bio comic that my therapist wanted me to do. It's just me talking about Prince, haha.
The rest from the top: the preliminary sketch for my Devil Spy Kickstarter promo, a couple of Amber sketches, a Willem in winter clothes (just because) sketch, and the original sketch for my drawing of Vincent in his A Link Between Wo...

Good morning everyone! Here's a little promo drawing I did of the boys for their upcoming Kickstarter! I hope you like it. :) This is the first Kickstarter I'll be running for the Devil Spy series. My KS for Split Screen went pretty well, the one for Willem was a bit rocky so I really have no idea what to expect with this one, I hope it's successful. :)

Good morning $5+ supporters! At the $5+ monthly level you get early access to all of my artwork so here's the very first marker drawing I've done of my skunk character Vincent. :) I hope it looks okay, my markers drawings are hard to scan, haha. I wanted to put some sort of colorful background on this so I hope these rainbow dots are okay. I'm hoping to do some more marker stuff soon.
I'm planning to have the November sketch dump up for you this week sometime. I'll also be doing a lot of prep ...
