White Death.

No story here or super secret sneak preview. This is just me playing around with scanning in pencils and playing with styles. Just doodling because I can and sharing well...just because. In the 2nd panel I got all manga-like.

I know I mentioned this not too long ago but, I'm mentioning it again because...I can. I don't know where the attitude is coming from. Maybe because it's snowing outside and I've had enough of the white death for this season.
Anywho...
I'll be at Megacon next Friday the 28th and Saturday March 1st sketching, signing and being a real pain in the ass at the Ka-Blam/ Indy Planet booth. I'll also have all 10 issues of Elf `n Troll for sale as well as premiering my latest project, Mill Girl. So, stop by and say hello.

Play Nice.

Atland #221 - Foul Play

See what happens when you take your eyes off Inky for a minute? --Gone! (He was a spy and a thief, after all.)

This episode was SUPPOSED to be the example for my new video tutorial on coloring. But of course, as soon as I finished recording and tried to save the movie file, the program hiccuped and closed out without saving. So, I'm waiting for another good example to come up so I can try again.

While coloring, I also noticed that I totally screwed up Bron's size as compared to Nodd. Bron should be bigger than that. Oh well. Pretend you didn't notice.

In other news, I'm working on the font that will be used for titles/credits (and probably the website) for Atland Season 2!

Next week...the dwarves' DEMONBREAKER!

Leeloo...Multipass

I have been a busy, busy little camper lately. I managed to finish up the Mill Girl book for Megacon in Orlando as well as working on a website for my self-publishing imprint. I'll have more on that in a day or two. I decided today that I would just doodle something for no reason whatsoever. My subconscious presents to you the lovely Leeloo from one of my favorite movies of all time, The Fifth Element. I'm not sure that you can get a more Moebius inspired film and it doesn't hurt that I have a major "thing" for Milla Jovovich either. The movie Ultraviolet hurts my brain but I'll watch it everytime for a Milla Jovovich fix.

Play Nice!

The Wishing Well -

I've always wondered were my coins went.

Atland #220 - The Hare, Part 2

I drew this episode sitting next to a window in my office because the power was out right after a snowstorm. No heat in the house either, come to think of it. I totally needed to Google a picture of a rabbit running away and with no power, there was no internet -- so I totally faked the rabbit running away panel.

Next week, Nodd and General Bron finally have it out...

Please don't try this at home. Or if you already have, what's it like?

MEGACON 2009!

I will be appearing at Megacon in Orlando Florida on Saturday, February 28 and Sunday, March 1. I’ll be hanging out at the Ka-Blam booth with Barry and Jenni Gregory where I’ll be pushing the dead tree editions of Elf `n Troll, (all 10 issues will be available) as well as premiering a brand new project which I’m really excited about. If you’re at all familiar with my work…this one will take you completely by surprise. It’s a project that I’ve had sitting on the back-burner for a very long time and I’m excited to finally get some eyeballs on it. So if you’re in the area, stop on by and say hello.

Contest

Contest: There is a quote from a famous movie on the latest page (to the best of my memory). Go to the Zyn Dweomer page and put the name of the movie in the Shoutbox and you win a free digital sketch.

It is entirely possible that I slaughtered the quote but it should be close enough that some smart mofo will get it.

Main characters meet. What misadventures await?

Only the West knows!

Atland #219 - The Hare, Part 1

Drawing hundreds of footprints isn't much fun. I learned that with this episode.

But I also learned that I like drawing bunnies. Yay! Fuzzy (evil!!!) bunny! I discovered the best way to make a cute bunny look evil is to give it canine features. Throwing a little bit of "wolf" into its features in the last panel seemed to work best.

I decided to put Bruce's tracking skills to good use. (lest we forget he is a outdoorsman/barbarian type.) And there's a little explanation about Horn Heads and even General Bron's race, the Simians. Sometimes it's hard to inform the readers when I have so many characters running around in the middle of a story, but I try to at least make it logical.

Next week, The hare part 2 -- Nodd & the demon Sissyl's REAL plan suddenly isn't a secret...

Pewfell in: A Walk on the Wild Side

I haven't been posting any new Pewfell here for a while, as it's still all old stuff I'm re-running and now it's material that's been colored and on the web for a while. This little story is new though - well, mostly anyway: I took a few odd strips I had that had no real plot or connection and worked with Adam to string them together and turn them into the basis for a new short story to round out Pewfell Volume 1 Redux, Book 3.
