Working on the G-Men all day long I don't stop

We're into the second comic now the first issue of the Homeless G-Men my strange and fun cop procedural. This book is told in three story increments each story providing a clue that leads the G-Men towards solving their last case together- the case that got them fired.

There's still lots of script work to do in Crypto-Zombic but I'm going to do all the text at once so it's got some flow. I hope to be through the flatting and colouring of the G-Men by the end of next week and into the THIRD comic Battle Rally.

I'm also designing stickers done in Old School American tattoo styles for each book.

There's lots to do and I'm still keeping crazy hours but I need to straighten that out since I'm running a 10km on the weekend.

back at it, hope all is well

Jungles, Titles, dialogue

Here's a terrible photo of my screen while I'm flatting out one of the many hundreds of panels

where our MC's are traversing the jungle. After nine days of this I see why so many comics take

place in big grey rooms, jungles are a challenge, you want to create a feeling of depth and also have

foreground light. I'm sure I'll get better with my approach when I start the second issue of the book but now this is slow and tedious work.

I have most of the flatting finished for Book One and I think as of 2 AM last night that I have seventeen finished pages, so only fifteen more to go and the cover/back cover and inside covers need to be done next then we're on to the first issue of The Homeless G-Men.

I have one more page to draw for that book and will be including some supplementary material

since that was the book that I drew and plotted first.

cheers,

Deep In the Heart of Cryptozombic!

 

 

 

It has been a very long time since I've posted, I thought I'd be able to balance regular

blogging and updates as I began doing the flatting and colouring for Issue One of Cryptozombic but since this is my first time using a Wacom and manga studio 5 blogging (and clogging) had to take a back seat to getting the work done.

At this writing I have sixteen finished (words, colours, everything) finished pages and that leaves only sixteen more to go before I move on to the next comic "The Homeless G-Men" my goal is to have four comics ready for TCAF in May 2015. If all goes according to plan that shouldn't be a problem I just wish someone had told me to make sure all of my "loops" were closed in my original drawings, if you use Manga studio or any colouring program you'll know what I mean.
