Serenity

The other day I got a commission request to do a couple of sketches of River from Serenity. I loved the show and the movie so I said yes right away and he sent me the reference pictures he wanted me to work from. Here are the results...

Now I am off to finish up tomorrow's Perfect Storm page...  I'll post it here too when it's finished.

PerfectStormPublishing.Com update!

Hope everyone is having a good Memorial Day. I've just uploaded this week's Perfect Storm page to the site- Click over there to check it out!!!

Chelsea

It's been a few days so I thought I should do a li'l update, and since I just finished this drawing of my friend Chelsea it seems like good timing...  Done in pen and ink then colored in PhotoShop.  I was originally going to do the background pastels in Painter, but I had a set of pastels sitting on my desk so I did it on a board and uploaded a picture instead.

Unleashed Book 3

Busy weekend- Yesterday was the deadline for issue 3 of Unleashed from ChalkLine Studios so the group of us had an all night drawing marathon to get it done. It was hard work, with a couple of us working from 10 am Saturday till 1:30 this morning, but it's done and on it's way to the printer, and we will have them back in time for HeroesCon in June!!!

Today, well, not much work got done. Unless you count returning emails as work. And "networking" (i.e. facebook and myspace)? If you count those then yes, some work was accomplished today too...

Finally I got to see Star Trek tonight too- Wow, what an awesome movie!

Tomorrow I get back to the grind, including uploading page 23 of Perfect Storm to the site (www.perfectstormpublishing.com). What, you don't want to click all the way over there?... Fine, here it is- If you want to read the story from the beginning though you'll have to go to the site!

Finally...

Well it had to happen. I knew eventually I would wind up working on one of these "blogs" but kind of fought it till now. See, I grew up at the very tail end of Gen X, which is the last generation of kids who didn't grow up with a computer in the house. Sure, some of my friends had them, but they weren't the cornerstone of existence as they've become now.

So, I tend to be a little behind on these things. Didn't have a cell phone till a few years ago, never texted till recently, still don't twitter, but I do have an iPod. Doesn't play movies or games or anything, just music, mostly Gen X stuff with a whole lot of Beatles and blues thrown in... Maybe games, or video games, is a good barometer for how far behind I am in technology. I had a ColecoVision when I was very young, then a Sega Master System, which we replaced with a Genesis around '91/92, just before it came with Sonic the Hedgehog. Really not much to speak of since, but I am considering a Wii because you can buy old Genesis and Master System games on it...

And of course just as I got used to Myspace everyone switched over to Facebook. I'm telling you whatever comes next is going to have to do without me. There's a lot of time to invest in getting these things up and running which I just don't have the heart to do.

So then why the blog you ask? Well, this has come about for the same reason why I bought a computer in the first place- For work. I'm going to be promoting upcoming projects here, posting artwork and sketches, networking, and hopefully talking to other artists and comic fans here- If in the upcoming posts you see something you want to comment about please do- I hope this becomes one of your regular stops on the information superhighway...

Wow, I'm probably the last person to call it that, huh? Told you I was behind...
