BOLT VS WONDERBOY

Project for my Materials and Techniques for Sequential Arts Class, I got to sneak in some familiar characters. The one spouting lightning is my character Bolt, and the dude with the W is my friend Dave Wheeler's original character Wonderboy who we are in the process of making a book for: http://themisadventuresofwonderboy.blogspot.com/. does this mean crossover???? Who knows!?! you'll have to find out. I always forget to take pictures of all the steps I take when i draw, but this time I at least took two;
this was after a day I believe, even tho I started with pencils I was still doing a lot in blue pencil.


second day I devoted the entire day to this because it was due the next morning, I got a lot more black pencils in there but there was still much more to be done. this might've been around 10 or 11pm.
Finished at 4:30 am, went to bed for 4 hours got back up, scanned this then went to class. Next time I do a big project I'll try to remember to take more photos.

9!

Yo, I just saw 9 and let me tell you it was DOPE!!! It was dark, suspenseful, and mysterious. The animation was on point and I was into the story. This movie had me on edge, I was anxious, scared, it was action packed, and I got emotionally attached to some of the characters. Over all this movie was really cool and like they say, it's not your little brother's animated movie. Glad i went to see it, you should go see it too.

Ante-Up: Prelude to Madness ON SALE TODAY!!

Yo everybody! Its done, finally, my premiere preview art book; Ante-Up: Prelude to Madness. 20 pages of Sketch Master Skillz goodness right here: http://stores.lulu.com/netwavecomics. I just got it finished and ready to go on sale, unfortunately it's a little pricier than i was going for, its 15 bucks. Initially I was gonna sell it on IndyPlanet through Ka-Blam for cheaper but they never replied to me so I switched to Lulu. However, there is a download version for half the price, 7.50, I suggest buying that one for your computer and save some dough for when the bigger, better, badder version comes out hopefully buy this December. If you like my stuff here, please head on over to the site and support the book, this will further help me to put out more and better artwork and get the big book done faster. Thanks again to ya'll, peace.

TECHNO INSECTO preview

Zudacomics.com holds a competition every month that allows ten 8paged comics to be voted on by the website members (anyone can join btw), if you win you get commissioned to turn your submission into a full out book. but even if you just get selected to be a finalists (one of the ten) then u still get 500 bucks. i thought this would be a great opportunity to put money in my empty pockets and work on a atory i had in mind for a while now. Unfortunately, i figured this all out way too late.


I started working on this last week tuesday and had to get all 8 pages done (penciled, inked, colored, worded) by moneyday(yesterday). i thought i had enough time, but as it turned out, i was also going out of town on saturday taking me away from my computer, scanner, and wacom tablet and leaving me with only 4 days to get it all done. I thought i could do that too but on top of cleaning up the house getting ready to leave and taking care of my brothers that just did NOT happen.


But i'm kinda glad i couldnt. I mean i wanted to get it all done but its better i have a whole month to get it done in great quality for next time and possibly make it in as supposed to having 4 days to rush it and throw whatever crap i can together and probably not make it in. so i have time to turn it in for next month, but now i'll show you what i got so far. I managed to fully color 4 pages, no text has been added yet, but hopefully the imagery will get ya excited for whats to come:
