Painting done

Here's the finished painting of "Attack of the Grickens!" I like how it turned out. Took long enough:) Some real progress on character development for the comic. Maybe a snap shot of one of them soon.

Painting is fun!

Here's a semi-painted attack of the grickens. I've decided to go with a sunset for the setting, I tried painting the scene in different lights, but this one kept wanting sunset so I gave in. Been doing a lot of thumbnails for the story, hopefully I'll get another page inked before I go. I work sooo slooowww, but i still enjoy it, hopefully i'll get quicker...quicker:)

Yikes! Attack of the Grickens!/KFG

Hallo, just wanted to post a new picture. Doesn't really go with the story I'm working on but it was an image that kept dancing around in my brain, so it had to come out. I'm in the middle of painting in photoshop. In other news I went snorkeling today at Ushaka beach near the harbor mouth. The sea was placid today my friends, like an old man drinking a mint julip on a kentucky wrap around porch. It was so nice, saw many fish and got to do a bit of surf-ski kayaking as well.

Cap'n Blackbarnacle and my mug

Hey folks, here's a few new images. One is Cap'n Blackbarnacle, he's an old salty seadog of the Narwhale persuasion and will sooner toss you the sharks than look at ya. And then there's me. I'll just probably shake your hand and say "nice to meet you" even if its not true. Me and the Cap'n are very different.

Newark

Lately I've been working a lot on the comic, it's going slowly but I'm sure I'll get quicker as time goes on. Anyways, I generally work on sketches and fun stuff in coffee shops around here to switch up my surroundings.

normal work place, I've commandeered the southern half of the dining room table.

and the coffee shop:


Drawing goofy pictures in public also allows me to meet new people which i'm told is a good thing. This is at the Corner Cafe, and because of the Mr. Rusty Robot I drew, I got to meet Nike, a server there. Hooray for drawing.


In an exciting note, today I started actually inking the first page of the comic. For those of you who don't know, generally an artist uses pencils to first layout a page, then he or another artist will go over it with ink. Then you can paint it if you want, which I will do some day down the line. Anyways this is a big step for me!

see these are the boxes where the drawlings go!

and the FIRST PANEL! Yayz!

And a self portrait, i'm trying to do a couple of these a week, so if you're on facebook, you'll probably see more of 'em.

Medieval Robot?

That's right it's a robot. He'll be in the comic a little later on, not initally, but he's so fun to draw, as most robots are.

I had my first non-zoo gecko siting today. It rocked.

Herb

This is Herb. He's a nearsighted dragon. I'll probably be switching around the colors on him, so nobody get too attached. He's not really cold, he just wanted to look cool like Frank did in his heroic stance below. Frank doesn't think too much of Herb's imitation and says find your own cool accessory that flaps in the wind.

Maybe 1 more character shot tomorrow, but that will probably be it as far as those go.
