The Shape of Things to Come

I’ve been busy working on a project lately, one I’ve wanted to do ever since I was a kid.

A comic book.

For the first time since I started studying art, I have something which will be truly and completely mine. I’ve been doing practice and studies for way too long, and it feels amazing to finally do something which is expressive, and — hopefully — says something.

I’m new at this, and there’s a lot I’m learning along the way by doing it wrong, but I’m completely excited. And I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I am enjoying creating it. When the first issue is done, I plan on making it a big deal. Perhaps dancing monkeys will be employed. Who knows?

P.S. Thanks for the comments, everyone! It means a lot to hear from people whose work you admire as well!

New post. I’m resolute about being much more consistent in my postings with this new blog. More action scenes — this one doesn’t really make visual sense, unfortunately, but I learned a little about how not to make a punch read. I like each panel individually, but they don’t work so hot together. Until next time — cheers!

P.S. Going to bed in a second, but thought I’d put this paintsketch (that a word?). It’s for the Flight forum’s “Blue” challenge. I think the idea of a pretty young girl being depressed amidst ridiculous opulence is kind of funny, offensive, and poignant all at the same time. Not that this is anything original, the Victorians beat me to this hundreds of years ago. So stop it already, you big Victorian crybaby.
