One cold winter's night, Angela was staying in a particularly drafty room in Pale Manor. Looking for something to wrap herself up in, she found what she thought was an intricately patterned blanket. Turns out it was a cursed kimono, left behind by some of Winifred's father's yokai business partners. Why it was left in an unguard...
2017-07-22 16:22:01 +0000 UTC View PostNow that I'm done with Underburbs #18, I'd like to add more tiers. I want to start small, because I'm still working 40 hours a week on top of doing this art stuff. I think if I start adding tiers, I may go down to five days a week for the Daily Doodles. But there would be a lot more finished work in its place. What would you lik...

No rest for the wicked. This little doodle is a quick warmup between finishing Underburbs 18 and starting up a backlog of Magic Lesson and Epilogue commissions.

At long last, issue 18 is complete! It's not drastically different from my first color treatment. I went in with a little more color on Angela and Bel so they wouldn't just match their respective planes of background. I cranked their opacity down to about 30%, though, because I still wanted to preserve the look of the pencil and...

OC of transformation artist Chesshire88. I just like some of the artist's work; we're not collaborating or anything. The comics/sequences are great, although they're definitely more bad end/sexually charged than the stuff I do.

Angela figured out what happened with yesterday's spell. If she makes Shelley smaller, that mass needs someplace to go!
2017-07-18 15:02:19 +0000 UTC View Post
Having been assembled in a laboratory, Shelley has been tall and lanky for as long as she could remember. In an attempt to see what it's like to be little, she enlisted the aid of her best friend and semi-experienced witch, Angela.
She's shorter now, but exactly what most people would call "little."
Excerpt of a finished panel of Underburbs 18. I think the series is rife with potential reaction images. C'mon, guys! Let's get memeing!

Being Hammer's personal assistant is a full-time job for sure. You never know when important business can happen. You could even be enjoying a day at the beach when your phone rings! But Heather's a bit of a workaholic. She can handle it.
Funny thing about Heather's 'final form' here: I got the pages back from TJ and was ...
This is my Annie-Potts-esque elation when TJ called to inform me that he finished the greyscale on issue 18. I'm picking them up tonight as scanning them. A solid weekend of Photoshop, and this one's off to the printer!

Whipped this up in a few minutes. I just scanned the original in black and white, then changed it to RGB. I copy/pasted two duplicate layers, and colorized Layer 1 in red and Layer 2 in blue/violet. I erased parts of Layer 2 to reveal Layer 1, and went in with some yellows in Layer 1 as well. It's pretty much the look I want, bu...

I think I've done all I can as far as physical media. At this point, you may be wondering why this cover is in black and white. I'm actually going to color this digitally, which will be an Underburbs first. Colorizing duplicate layers and messing around with brushes on Multiply should save me some time (I need this issue done fo...

I kinda wish I remembered to take the pic before shading Bel.

I'm in the final stretch of issue 18! I feel like the majority of people who've seen my earlier treatments of the cover preferred the flatter, stage-like composition, but at this stage in the game, I gotta go with the one that's more fun for me to draw.

It's Daryl Hannah from Splash and Blade Runner simultaneously. I could've thrown her Kill Bill character in the mix, but I figured I'd stick to the 80s. Plus, an eyepatch would've clashed with the Pris eye makeup.

A quick and rare celebratory art trade. What's the occasion, you ask? I just finished inking Underburbs #18 last night!

No fun drawing today. What I thought was going to be a breezy pre-holiday work day turned into this nightmare. I work in picture framing when I'm not busy saying I want do draw comic books when I grow up (currently 39). This is going to be a mat with fourteen separate openings. This is why I hate paneling when I finally do work ...

Remember my sketches of Hammer's personal assistant Heather from way back? Here's her final design after her dousing from Winifred's magic scroll. She'll only be featured in a single panel in issue 18, but we haven't seen the last of Heather or Hammer's new business ventures.

A continuation of yesterday's post. It's a shame to waste a perfectly good summer day, botched spell or no botched spell. Rosemary's taking the whole thing in stride, even if she had to buy herself a new swimsuit on the way to the beach.
