Force Beams and Playing Cards

Friday, July 18, 2008


This is a commission from Heroes Con that I just finished up. I've changed my official commissions policy by accepting work from home. I have been taking names, but I won't get to anything for months while I work on my new project. I'm not sure if I can say what it is yet, but I can say that it's not painted.

From now on, I'll only be doing inked comic art, reserving paints for covers and other smaller projects. The painted artwork is too precious and time intensive for what I want to do, which is to tell stories. I hope to color (digitally) my own inked work, but I won't have enough time with this first project. I should have some examples to show in a couple weeks.



Also, this is a head-sketch from the New York Comic Con that I never got around to posting. Now I have.

Next Week: I'm planning on taking an exhaustive look at my (now-obsolete) painting technique. In the midst of creating page 6 of Mythos: Captain America, I took extensive photos to document the entire process. I hope you will enjoy it.

  1. Yeah, I was wondering if you were going to keep painting. I love it, but I would also like to see you do more regular work. Exciting.

    Can't wait to see the process stuff.

    Interesting... can't wait to see what you do with digital only! So... good blogging times ahead ;)

    Well, obviously i prefer painted, but I remember seeing some inked commissions and remember thinking how great they were.

  3. 2 great pieces.

    Looking forward to that followup on M:CA next week.

    Can't wait to see those examples of your new project when you get to post them

    I think it'll be cool if you get the chance to digitally color some of your inks.
