Detail Images From Three Books



Here are three detail images from each book that I think best sum up what each one is about.

Full Pages from three books looking great



Here's  a full page from each of the three comics I hope to have at TCAF (hope to have meaning I hope I get accepted, not hope to have finished) in May 2015 I'm really happy with the work. There are a few tweaks for each page still but that's fine I'm in a great place with the books, feels awesome.

Inktober sketches



Inktober is a sketch event that runs for the month of October where pencillers are encouraged to practice their inking by inking a drawing a day and posting it over on twitter. I've done three sketches so far, which means I'm a few days behing, but I have good reason I've started scanning and colouring the second and third issues of Homeless G-Men and another title that I will talk about in posts later on. I'm going to colour these pics later on when I have some time

Where We're At , Comic wise that is


September was one heck of a month, I digitally coloured 95 pages for the three comic books, I still have a few pages to draw for one of the comics but that's fine I wanted to get the bulk of the work finished and will come back to them. They're already sketched they just need some ink lovin' and will be ready to be coloured soon.
The hardest part of the process are the covers, the cover above is for "Battle Rally" it's my favourite of the three, I imagine I'll be changing the covers right up until the end of November when I send the three (and possibly four) books off to the printers. The Battle Rally cover works, it's supposed to reference 80's action movies like Mega Force (with Barry Bostick!) just needs some more painterly colouring to make it pop, right now it looks like it was coloured in Digital Pencil Crayon
 
It has been a hell of a step learning curve, I didn't know how to use Manga Studio 5 on the first of September and now I feel very comfortable with a good portion of it's functions. There are quite a few that I still have to figure out but the books look good, I'll print off a few pages and post them next week. I wish I could get screen captures from Manga but that doesn't seem possible (let me know if you know).
more to come,
