Happy Holidays!

I will be away from December 24 - 31, 2007. There will be no updates, or responses to emails, during this time. Enjoy the holidays! See you in 2008!

Page 75 Complete! Last before New Year's!

Page 75 has been completed, the last page before the New Year's. I am leaving on a week-long vacation, so there will be no updates before New Year's. I will see you all in 2008 ! Happy New Year!

Page 74 complete!

This was supposed to be posted yesterday, with the hope of posting page 75 this morning, but as usual, right when things look like they are going smooth, it hits the fan. I was bombarded with time-intensive work yesterday, and socked with a cold on top of that. It wasn't a good recipe for artwork. While still fighting my cold, and knowing more time-intensive work is coming today and tomorrow, I am hoping I will at least get some work on issue 5 done today -- and if not, then tomorrow and Friday.

Page 73 complete!

Another page is complete — page 73. Check out the preview to the right (click for a larger view).

This is, hopefully, the start of a "week of many updates". Like I said, "I hope." With my "RL" work, I never know if it will be slow or hectic. I am hoping for "slow" this week, with the upcoming holidays. These holidays are also the reason why I want this to be a "week of many updates" as next week I will be away for the holidays. Needless to say, there will be NO updates or work done that week; nor will I have a chance to read or answer any emails. Come the New Year, however, all will be back to normal! :)

Page 72 complete!

I meant to post this yesterday. I got so caught up on working on the page, and then on the next page, that I forgot to post an update. Page 72, the one that you saw a pencil preview in the the last post, is complete — inked and colored. You can see a color preview by clicking to the right.

Now... onto page 73 — which is already 75% done...

Issue 5: Drawing Stage is now complete!

Sorry for any delays in posting in the last couple of weeks. The Thanksgiving/early Christmas season has been a busy one. But I have been working diligently whenever I could on issue 5. I can now officially say that:

grOw/cOmic#2, issue 5 is now in the inking & coloring stage. All pencil drawing has been completed for all 22 pages! Wait... did I say "22", as in 1 more than I originally said a few posts ago? Yes! I have added another page to the issue. I needed a nice conclusive page for this final issue of the series. To see an example of a full page in its pencil form, click the preview icon to the right. It is a reduced version of page 72.

In addition to the pencil preview, I have also completed coloring the opening page of issue 5 (page 71). You catch a preview of that by clicking on the color icon here.
