...layouts

...here is a layout for some reworks on the second issue.

...madman interlude

Issue 2 (update)

I spent the better part of the day at the park working on finalizing my script for the second issue. The weather is getting even cooler which gets me even more focused.

The L-Man Painteth!

...about half way through on the paint job for Lurotiman...man do i love painting on the red L's throughout his uniform. This one should be done by tomorrow. I have the Hooli-Hooligan baking in the oven as i type this...the paint job on him should be pretty easy.

Sculptures (day237)

I am about half way through at this point of finishing what i set out to do which was (for those of you into mission statements) to sculpt all my main characters. I started painting them over the weekend and have begun work on the Hooli-Hooligan.
It is also getting a little cooler here where i live that always puts me in a better mood to produce art.

Romeo Death!

For sure the hardest one to do thus far...pretty happy with it nonetheless.

Sculptures

I got the other three baked as well as the Swamp Thing late last night. Then I started in on Romeo Death!..which i am about 80% done with...the ski-mask is proving quite difficult. I went with actually sculpting the face then put a thin layer of clay as the actual mask. It is hard to get the holes in the mask right but i think i should be getting it figured out by tonight.

I might smooth over the groves in the mask and do them over...but other than that i am pretty happy with how it turned out...Romeo was my hardest one thus far for sure...two more to go!

Swamp Thing!!

...and here is my first commissioned piece.

Sculptures (day 3)

Finished up the Metroman and now i started in on the Lurotiman.

Sculptures (day 2)

I got most of the work done on my Moreman and started in on the detailing on the Metroman one. That leaves...Lurotiman, Romeo Death, The Blue Levidian, and the Hooli-Hooligan. I cant wait to have another Con to go to or store signing where i can have all these displayed.

Moreman! (good stopping point)

Here are a few shots i took of the Moreman scuplture as it started taking shape. The cool thing about working with Sculpy clay is that it never dries out on you so you can take as long as you want with it...also when you are finished with it you can bake it in a regular oven to make it hard.

Cartown or Bust!

I started on a few sculptures for the characters in Cartown Comics...i plan on doing one for all the characters that i create.
With the extra clay from these two i started doodling with the clay...first i did this really cool Vulture that i ended up mashing up then i did this one of Logan...which i am pretty pleased with...after i get my characters done i am going to start taking on commissions of busts for whatever character you like....I am thinking $25.00 each...would love to hear your thoughts on this.

...testing

...a few quick renderings trying to figure out the overall size of the graffiti in relation to the rest of the panel and in relation to the other panels.

...tag update!

...i got the artwork from Cam tonight and am in the process of coloring it...here's a sneek-peek!

90

...i am about to get some sleep but i wanted to post where i'm at in my latest panel. This one is following through on the intro story to the Hooli-Hooligan short.

89

...i have started the sequencing for the second issue. Here is an add on to the "Romeo Death" story.
A few odd and end pieces like this and i will be pretty much done with the artwork part of the issue and will move on to the lettering.

88

...again this would look a whole lot better with the graffiti inserted.
...The silhouetted Lurotiman is one shade off from black...still thinking of making it totally black. I am going to sleep on it and decide on it later...your thoughts?

87

...this panel (as the others) will look a whole lot cooler when the graffiti is added.

86

85

...a little insight into my process.

83 and 84

I finally settled on just a simple globulious jubilated stream to represent the paint in the spray paint can....after trying out several different effects for it in photoshop. I am pretty happy with how it turned out in the end. I also was thinking about doing some variations on opacity in the arms in motion but again decided to go with something more simple that i thinks fits the books overall look.

...conundrum

...spelled right? Who knows. More worried about trying to figure out how to draw spray paint in action. Going to try some different things out for it.

82

...another one from me.

81

Here is a new panel from the last short story that i finished the layouts for and went ahead and started on. I saw some of Cam's early tag art for the issue and it blew me away! The cover is going to look really good this issue!

...some layouts

...here are a few panel layouts on a short that i settled on to get the second issue finished. It will feature some graffiti from a friend of mine. I plan on using the artwork that he is producing for it in the comic and for the wrap around cover. I am really looking forward to this collaboration.

...the buttons are in!

...get yours while supplies last.

...more side project

...nowhere near done with it.

...side project

...this is going to be part of an art project/exercise that i am working on with friend and writer Freddy Ross. I plan on putting it all together at some point in the future...i'll keep you posted.

...the fans have spoken!

...update...i got the sample in and now its just a matter of days til they arrive!

Button Time!!

I am about to get some Lurotiman buttons made and have narrowed it down to these two. Which one do you like better...the straight on one or the to the side one???

The D.I.Y. CON!

I had a really good day today spending some time with some other local creators at the "Comic Zone" comic book store. I sold 7 whoppin-flopin-shapow issues!!! Thanks to all who stopped by.
Here are a few shots from the event.This is a sketch i did in this fan's sketchbook...which was a book of sidekicks...still fresh off the heels of reading Morrison's new Batman & Robin, i naturally chose the boy wonder.

D.I.Y-CON!

I will be at the Comic Zone on June 13th with a few other local artists including my buddy Jeff Owens! Should be a lot of fun...can't wait for it! Hope to see you there.

...more batman

...more distractions

...the sketch


...and the finished piece

..DD doodle

Here's a drawing i did while at work that i ended up being really happy with...thanks to my buddy Cam for having his markers on him.

1,000,000

...this is the raw footage.

...this might take awhile to get colored.

...here's an update on the coloring process.

...there is no one faster!

UPC

The little small press expo i was at over the weekend with my friend Jeff went pretty well. I sold a few issues and had a good time hanging out...thanks to all who came.
...now back to work on my second issue.

79, 80

...two more finished tonight. Feels good.

78

I went over to Jeff's house tonight to borrow his long stapler and we talked a little bit about the small press expo "UPC" that we are going to be at together friday and saturday. I am really looking forward to it but i am more than a little disappointed in myself for not getting the second issue done for it. I have more than lost my way. Here is another panel....and a slight variation of one i did the other day.

77

...and here it is.

76

I should have another panel finished before i am off to bed tonight.

75

Covered

I did a cover of a cover of The Phantom a few weeks ago and it got featured on a blog that has some pretty decent artists contributing. I am glad to see that mine got featured. Here is a link to it if you are interested.

74

...i started back working on my comic tonight...well actually for the past few days... I have been spending the last few at the park writing. It felt good to get an actual panel done.

...trying to get focused

"SNIKT" break.

I did this Wolverine piece for my friend Kieth. Thanks for supporting my book man!
