Mr. Monkey 002: process

figured I would post a bit of the process going into this page, since I was doing things a bit out of order from my usual steps.

digital pencils


I went in and blocked in basic colors, duplicated the layer, adjusted the colors on the copy and then pushed and pulled what I wanted the colors to be between the two layers.


Did the digital inks, refined colors a little bit.


Slept on it then woke up and did my final touch-ups.


note: at the end of my process, when everything is flattened, I like to add a lil' texture using the noise filter.

stewing in the back of my head

possible idea for a new web comic... I have it decently plotted in my head, will try to get a bit more of it down on paper tonight.

page in the middle stage

a page with a relatively dark environment, still I'm trying to leave a lil room to play with the colors.

Number 5: Episodes 007 & 008

been a while since I did one of these, but it's fun to do a comic that takes more time to upload than to sketch.

a few sketches

working on a more expedient style to work in for an upcoming project that will require it. just black and white today but the project itself will be in color... still got a bit of playing around till I have it where I want it though.

Steps

still around

Got a few sketches I did recently with friends, since I can't show anything I've been working on yet.

enjoy

quick character sketches

Digital Strips: podcast...

Did a review of the November 2008 ZUDA entries, of which RUMORS OF WAR is among. Go check it out,they said a lot of very nice things, enough to make me blush a lil in fact (it was a bit of a relief considering what the attitude was at the beginning of the show). It's done alphabetically, so the review for R.O.W. is about 70% of the way in.

Cheers

Number5: episode 006

Page from "Work" project
