Long time, no post...

Hello everyone! Very sorry that it's been so long since my last post. I had a trip down to Miami for a convention last weekend so the week before and the week since involved a lot of "trying" to get ahead of deadlines. I did alright on that end but all my other projects, such as the blog here, suffered.

Anywho, one of those projects is called the Concrete Dove. I'm inking the interiors and providing the cover to an upcoming issue. Larry Jarrell, penciler and creator of the series, penciled a cover that he wasn't too please with so he asked me to do my version of it. I did a rough sketch, changing the camera angle from his original, and emailed it to him. He approved it so I had my model-friend Daniela come over for some reference shots then penciled the cover. I finished the figures but was not happy with the background, so I brought it down to the studio to show Dick. He made a suggestion about the angle of the side of the building which tied the whole piece together! Funny how he will pick that out right away while I will stare at the thing for hours/days without figuring it out...

Here is the inked piece- I will be coloring it early next week once my friend David King (Creator of the Oscar and Sid comic strip) does the flats for me... No pressure on him now that I've told the world I'm waiting on his flats...
