October Monkey
Just got back from New York Comic Con. What a blast! I'll write about it next post, right now all I can do is walk around in a jet-laggish zombie haze... and draw monkeys.

Snatcher Bodies on Graphicly
So we gots a *new* comic out on this excellent site called Graphicly!
It was something I wrote and drew my first year in HK. I was never too happy with my writing on it so it's been sitting on my shelf for years. Until now! Adam Barnett (who wrote the book I've been working on this year) swooped in and re-did all the speech bubbles. The funny thing was though, that I only sent him (1) page at a time so he never knew exactly where he was going with it. It's a crazy fun ride. Check it out won't you? Did we mention it's FREE FREE FREE? We're hoping to use it as the icebreaker for our 5 issue series/book called 'Hero Action Persons'. More on that later though. (I keep saying that don't I?)

Process...
Recently I drew a version of the cover for Ghostrider #40 for the Covered blog:
While I've been working on the book with Adam Barnett, I kept this Ghostrider thing going on in the background. I used it as a warm up while I worked on pages, or if I just needed to sit in front of Photoshop for a few minutes everyday. So today I just wanted to show my process on how I got to the finished piece.
The first thing was choosing which cover I wanted to do. I recently picked up the first two volumes of the awesome Marvel Essential Ghostrider series. So this is like the first 50 issues of Ghostrider in two volumes published in B&W phone book size books. This image jumped out at me:
I liked working from the B&W image so I could color it without being influenced by the 'real' colors at all.
So the next step was to just draw ol' GR in my own style. This is the 'getting to know you' phase of the drawing.
SInce the original cover is full of lines and has this gritty raw power, I wanted to see if I could go ultra clean and sharp. I thought it would make a nice contrast. So the next step was to take out the ol' lightbox and start cleaning.
I also drew all of the background elements separately so I could move them all around in Photoshop to my liking.
So then after some manouvering in PS I came up with this:
Then it was on to hours of coloring goodness. PS offers so many different color combinations so easily sometimes it's hard to make up your mind. I eventually got to this one:
But then at the last minute, I decided on this one:
And that is, as they say, is that! :)
Now back to the book...

Home Stretch...
A little sneakity peakity from a book in the works. I promised myself I wouldn't say much about it yet, so I can't, or I'll beat myself up. Or the writer will erase me. But I will say that it's the longest comic I've ever worked on... and I only have a few blocks of pages left to draw and then it's all done. The guy who wrote the script, OK, fine -it's Adam Barnett- put a lot of classic fun into it and there's a lot of heart in there too. It's also one heck of a blast to draw. There's also a really pretty girl who's coloring it all. Ok. That's all I can say for now. I can say no more. More soon. Very soon!
