The Return - A Web Comic

Over the summer, Cold Blooded Chillers--an award-winning publication from Robert Heske--ran an open submission contest for its latest anthology: 2012. The challenge was for creative teams to come up with a short comic based on the 2012 'end of the world' mythology.

I was contacted by my writer friend Michael Moreci about providing the art for a script he had written for the occasion. The story departed a little from what the anthology was asking for but we both enjoyed the story and decided to submit it anyway. The end result is what you'll see here, a short called 'The Return.'

Michael and I earned an Honorable Mention for the strip, but not publication. Both of us liked the story, and rather than allow our completed work to languish in a drawer--or hard drive, rather--we decided to use the power of the internet and get the story out there.

So here's the deal: Michael and I are both posting this first page (of eight) on our sites. Every Friday, I will post even numbered pages; every Monday, Michael will post the odd pages. As mentioned above, the story is eight pages long. So in four weeks, we'll have posted the complete comic--and for free no less!

Cheers and I hope you enjoy!

More sketchies

Here's a couple more sketches from breaks this week. I added a background to the previous pic and a whole new one. Enjoy.

Cool September Days

Weather gets cold fast here on the east coast. It's a bit of an adjustment from 6 years in Korea. Kind of nice.

Here's a sketch I did while on breaks at work. Enjoy.

Ooooh colours...

Here's some more experimenting I've been doing with Photoshop colouring. One is a cel type look while the other is a more water colour type feel. The character is one my own for a book I've been working on my a while now. Enjoy!

Been A While...

Hey all, I've been working on a short story with Michael Moreci for a submissions call and trying to get my sequentials to a place where I like them not to mention looking for a job and trying to keep my sanity..:P Sorry I haven't had time to post lately. I watched some of Brian Haberlin's Digital Art tutorials recently and decided to give a more painterly look to my work a try. I usually enjoy a more cel shaded approach but have been itching to try this for a while. Here's my first try. Not bad for a first attempt but I may keep picking at this for a while.
