Part of the challenge of working on comics and art part time is coming up with a workflow that's relatively fast. Given less time (and energy) in the evening, going about things in the traditional roughs/pencils/inks/colors means can be daunting. What I've been trying to do is find ways to cut a few corners without compromising the visions I see in my mind.

These two sketches were done using mechanical pencil, and a few quick Photoshop tricks to simulate an ink pen. I'm going to try to color these soon and see what the end results are. Enjoy!

I ran into some technical snafu's in the past month or so that made getting art completed and posted a bit of a challenge. Hopefully that's behind me now, so I'm posting some things that were completed recently. I'm also brainstorming on ways to add more content to this blog with or without new art to show, but I'll have to iron that out a bit more first.

First up is this week's Drawer Geeks, "Frankenstein":

I wanted to show a bit more of the messy business of stitching someone together of disparate parts. My Frankenstein is falling apart at the seams, literally.

Next up is another Drawer Geeks from the previous round, in honour of the film and book "Where The Wild Things Are".

Played with a whole new palette for me, as well as colouring directly on the pencils and skipping inks all together. Relatively happy with how this turned out, even if it wasn't anything like I pictured initially.

Finally, this is a pencil drawing of a duo that figure into a larger story brewing in my head at the moment. Not ready to talk about it yet, but I like the design enough to show it around.

I've been crazy busy these past couple weeks, as I'm moving this Friday (first house!). I've been keeping the regular update schedule over at Cubicle Gangsters, so I haven't had a lot of time for extra curricular drawing. However, I did come across this picture that I had about half way finished well over a year ago, and decided to complete. Let me know what you think!
