Fallen Angel

I had the opportunity to contribute a pin-up to an upcoming Fallen Angel collection. J.K. Woodward, the incredible artist on the series, has set the bar high, so it was a fun challenge.

Shown here are my original rough, a couple of work-in-progress camera phone shots while I was inking, the finished inks and the colors, courtesy of my ever-amazing collaborator, Jason Millet.

Athena Voltaire and the Volcano Goddess cover #1

Pencils and inks by me, colors by Jason Millet.

Also, if you haven't done so yet, please take a look at my Kickstarter campaign. Kickstarter is a funding platform for artists, writers musicians, etc...like a PBS telethon, except instead of tote bags, you can score an exclusive Athena Voltaire hardcover collection, an exclusive sketchbook, original art and more!

Airgirl: The rejected 1-page pitch

I pitched this to Moonstone a couple of months back, but they passed. I guess that since Airboy is in the public domain, I could take this to any publisher out there.

Any takers, anyone? I could write and draw this book for cheap. I'm just sayin'...

Green Hornet Sample Piece (color)

And here's how the Green Hornet piece looks all colored up, courtesy of the ever-brilliant Jason Millet.

Return of the Canterville Color

People went on lots of carriage rides back then.

Lots.

To be honest, I'm pretty unhappy with the line art on this page (it happens...sadly), but Jason saved the day with his colors.

I have a boatload of new pages and drawings to scan, but will continue with the colors through the weekend, I think. Next week, we'll see some new b/w work.

More Canterville Color

Continuing to spotlight Jason's terrific color work over my pencils & inks.

This scene leads up to an appearance of the ghost.

Some more Canterville—this time in color

I haven't posted any of Jason's amazing color work from The Canterville Ghost for a while. I think I'll rectify that over the next few days...

I used a lot of loose drybrush on this page and I think Jason did a great job of adding color without overpowering the line art.

Some More Canterville Ghost—Now in Color!

Okay, first of all, I may not have hit my goal of updating every day (or even every weekday), but 2008 has shown significant improvement in the regularity of my blogging updates. It's certainly been more consistent than how I've handled email and phone calls. What can I say? My schedule regularly kicks my ass.

But everything will improve even more in 2009. Hopefully.

I'm very excited about the color piece in today's update. Jason Millet continues to kick ass on all of our collaborations, and this page is no exception.

I showed a step-by-step development of this Canterville Ghost page, from rough sketch to pencils to inks. Now, Jason's color page completes the process (the publisher will be handling the letters, so you'll have to buy the book if you want to see that stage).

At Last! The Canterville Ghost in COLOR!

As I mentioned last week, Jason Millet is doing an amazing job with the colors for The Canterville Ghost.

Drink it in.
