Anatomy of a Page

The lastest page of my webcomic. Lately feels like I turned a corner with this work. Still learning, but this the process so far...

1. Begin with Line Art

2. Add a gray backdrop along with a few flats to determine lighting.

3. Throw on a much darker grey overlay.

4. Bring back the line art

5. Add the talk balloons

If you like my work, lend your support through PATREON!

A $5 donation will be rewarded with access to my web comic FIGHT LIFE!

OLD SCHOOL NOVEMBER

I wasn’t exactly ready to say “finished” with inktober so decided to challenge myself by putting together an “Old School” set. Basically the same rules, it’s just stuff from the 80s and 90s. Couldn’t commit the way I wanted to due a number of other obligations (like keep my lights on and the roof over my head), but this turned out to be a damn good first effort.

INKTOBER: THE WRAP UP!

As of this writing it is November 1st. Inktober has come and gone and I had a blast every step of the way. Below you'll find my latest batch but before that I'd like to tell you what I've got planned for November.


Since I'm not aware of any challenges, I'll be scaling back the visual pumping up my writing muscles in this year's NanoWrimo event. I recently lost a friend and fellow creator and while we weren't all that close, I was aware of her situation and the weight of absence in friends list and timeline is keenly felt (her posts always made me laugh). In this wise I have chosen to dedicate the entirety of this undertaking to her memory and to her girlfriend and children. (They may never read this, but I continue to morn with them)

As far as art, it's like I said, I'm scaling it back a tad. Any visual work will be focused on my web comic Fight Life, which available for viewing on patreon every week for the low price of $5 bucks a month. As always I will have slots open for commissions.

Intober/Drawlloween Week 1

It’s that time of year!  I’m now in my fourth year of Inktober and my second year of Drawlloween (where the drawings are Halloween or horror themed).  Because my hours have been reduced I’ve had an opportunity to ramp up my output but it’s turning out to be a double-edge sword; if this keeps up and I’m not able to find a second job, I will likely be homeless or without power by next month.  I honestly don’t know what to do except what I’ve been doing: Bringing the heat in every drawing I put down hoping my viewers feel the burn and throws a few bucks my way.

Missing in Action

I owe you guys an apology for staying gone and being so inconsistent, but in my defense it’s been an OBSCENELY long summer for me. Not to mention highly STRESSFUL, and while I’ve managed to be some kind of productive the past few months have been a bear…an enormous, rabid, rage-fueled Kodiak bear. The heat was unbearable and I came perilously close to losing my job. In recent news, I’ve relaunched my web comic “FIGHT LIFE” via the website Patreon. You can enjoy the weekly strip by becoming my patron with a donation of $5 (five dollars) a month.

My life as a gamer has been revive thanks to Pokemon Go. The Pokemon franchise has become quite resurgent, so much in fact that it couldn’t resist digging out my old Gameboy Advance and popping in Pokemon Blue (a game I’ve had for over 16 years now!) The result: The several Pokemon drawings you see below. Really enjoyed making those!

With fall officially here (meaning September is half over) Halloween and some of our other favorite holidays are right around the corner, and so I’ve decided to get a head start on my holiday themed art and get them ready for sale on Etsy. You can also request a commission through the aforementioned Patreon as was as all of my social media links. I’ll be doing traditional Halloween themes as well as a few of my favorite urban legends and movie monsters. Heck man, I might even bang out a few Scooby-Doo pieces. Stick around, and hopefully I’ll find time to write again.

Throwback Thursday/Pokemon

Pokemon Go has become so huge that it's dredged up a lot of nostalgia.  I've not only start playing my old Gameboy version (which I've had since I was 16), but I remember a fan comic I did shortly after graduation. Aside from my friends who were featured characters, this bit never saw the light of day.  In honor of Throwback Thursday and the apparent resurgence of Pokemon's popularity, I thought I'd throw this baby up and show all three of my loyal readers how far I've come since then.

Gotta catch'em all!

Disclaimer:  I do not repeat DO NOT own the name Pokemon.  The characters here were created by me soley for entertainment purposes.  Seriously, this was done strictly for fun.  I've got enough problems without Nintendo suing my ass.

Hope you guys enjoyed this!
