And BAM another page!

Hey there Bloggy McBloggerpantses out there,

SO I know I keep updating this blog with stuff for The Golem of South Florida, but to be fair, it is pretty much the only thing I want to work on right now. Besides school work. And even then, it's iffy.

So anyway, I finished the inks on page 4, and DANG it took way longer than I wanted it to, but, I got it done, and the next step is coloring! I am working on the colors for page 3 by the way. I just don't like staring at bright LED screens for too long, so I have to take breaks from working in the digital wonderland I fondly know as Photoshop. So here is the art, since that is the primary reason you are actually looking at this.


Bazinga.

Okay, well time to keep pressing on and making progress. Thank you all for your support, and continued support! Hopefully I can have some more pages for you in the future!

Peace my Bloggy McBloggerpantses!

More Golem-ey things!

Howdy bloggers!

Well spring break is coming to a close, and once again, school is about to start. However, I was able to get some work done of The Golem of South Florida while I was on break. Didn't get as much done as I would have liked, BUT still, there is progress. So here you go!


Here is page 2 colored up. I "finished"this page about a month ago, 
but I was thinking about it all break, it didn't feel finished, 
so I went back and made changes, ultimately for the better I think.


This is the inked page 3. I should say RE-inked page 3. 
A couple posts ago, I put this up saying it was finished
but I didn't feel like it had enough black placement,
 and felt like there was a lot of empty space, 
so I went back in with ink and now I feel much better about this page. 

Well thats all for now, I am actually in the process of coloring page 3, as well as finishing up the pencils for page 4. Hopefully I will be able to post some progress within the next couple, weeks...fingers crossed!

Visual Storytelling I...Freedom!

Why hello there blog enthusiasts!

I have made it through finals of yet another quarter! Oh man, let me tell you, this was a doozie...I am more physically drained than I normally am, so if I don't make much sense, its pretty much because I am sleep deprived and on the brink of collapsing into my desk. 

ANYWHO...I had a very intense class known as Visual Storytelling I, sort of an intense class in the sequential department where you really get to draw a lot of pages...like...A LOT of pages. 

So out of the pages, there are a few I liked and thought were fun enough to share with you all! Here it goes!

This is a page out of the 1989 trade "Batman: Gotham by Gaslight".
  Mike Mignola did the art, and this particular page was sort of awful,
 so we had to redraw it, as well as practice inking.
 There are some errors, but over all it was a fun piece.

This is from our  "Memoir" comic. 
Mine was about  a dream I had where I was hunting trolls, 
and i was saved by a giant talking iguana known as "Tortula", 
this is page one of the two page story.

Here is the second page of the memoir comic.
 It was a fun two pages, 
 I tried to challenge myself on my use of black placement, 
overall I pushed myself and it was great!

Here is the first page of four, 
this was my final project, its me in my house.

Page two...the suspense is building!

At last the twist! 

And the last page. 
Ends on a cliffhanger, the best way to resolve anything. 
...clearly

Anyway I hope you likes the pages I got to churn out for Vis 1. I worked my butt off, so while I am here relaxing during spring break, I will be working to regain a butt, so I can work that off next quarter. 

Well I hope you all enjoyed what I did, it was definitely a labor of love...talk to you later my bloggey-people!
