Issue #5 Cover

It's late, I'm ready for bed. Here are the pencil and inks for the cover art of issue #5. Enjoy!

When Bears attack

It's slow going but issue #5 is well underway. What you are seeing here is a four page preview from the issue which is currently on hiatus. We've turned out attention to an 8 page mini telling some of what happens to Bell directly after the events at the start of issue #4. The first page from that preview can be seen here. So without further ado...

Hope you enjoy!

We Have Liftoff.

Boy these plane analogies come easy when referring to a comic based around planes, don't they? I'm sure I'll run out of them sooner or later. For now, though, the puns stay. What you see below you is the finished pencils of page 1 for the upcoming issue of said comic. Flying Fortress production, after months of time in the hanger, is finally in the air again. This particular beauty clocked in around 10 hours. Those hours were split over three different evenings thanks to my day job of making sure my 2 year old son gets proper rearing.

I must say. I'm really, REALLY freaking happy with how this page turned out. I spent several weeks prior to this really doing the basics. Exercises and fundamentals. It was boring as all hell, but it sure helped. I'm miles away from my destination but this makes it feel a whole lot closer. Look out world, I just stepped my game up!

OK, True believers, it's time to hit the drawing board some more. Enjoy your stay, but be sure to lock-up when you leave.

DayZ is a Helluva Drug

If you ever get the chance to play DayZ I highly recommend it. This is just a bit of fan art I did for it.

Some pages

As I stated in my previous post I'm seen pages in on issue #4 of Flying Fortress. I figured I could go ahead and update you with some of those pages. One of the biggest differences you'll notice in these pages is the addition of shading. Filling in blacks has always been a difficult part of drawing for me. Understanding how light wraps around and object just eluded me for years. I decided, that with his issue, I was going to use heavy blacks. I felt it was important for my own artistic growth. So, here we go!

I'm very happy with how these turned out. I can already look back and see errors, but that's part of that artistic growth I mentioned earlier. If I don't make mistakes, I'll never learn how to correct them. I'd love some feedback on these pages, so hit me up!

Wolverine

Having spent the past several months working on my comic book -- Flying Fortress, I've been set in a specific type of drawing. I've been drawing 'real' people, real planes, real everything. I've been drawing things based in a reality that existed 60 years ago. When I started drawing comics I wanted to draw superheroes and super villains. Those spandex clad characters are what really speak to me as an artist. So I took it upon myself to return to that with this drawing.

Thanks to a suggestion by Andy Moore, I have wrapped up a drawing of my favorite character. I probably put around 6 hours of work on this piece and I couldn't be happier with it. Funny thing is I finished it at 1:11 on 11/11/11 which is to say that if I was counting by the pacific time zone it would have been done at 11:11. Good stuff! Here's Wolverine, I hope you enjoy it!
