Chapter 2 INKS -- pages 16,17,18

So my PC crashed again. I spent last night rebuilding it and so I am back online for now. In the meantime I did three more pages of inks but couldn't scan till now. so here they are...

Page 16


Page 17


Page 18


5 more pages.

Page 15 inked

inks on the first page of chapter 2....page 15 overall.

page 9 pencils

I saw some art today by Super Wrestle's Andy Kettler which knocked me out and into rocking this page a little bit more. So here it is again all beefed up. I think the experiments on the catwalk solidified the composition a lot.

page 9

Here's the last page. Pencils are basically done. Now I need to put some inks down....getting close and running out of time! Can I ink 9 pages in one week?? one step at a time.

page 8 pencils

Page 9 tomorrow.

page 8 first pass

Made some good progress on page 8 tonight although Im not thrilled with this page so far. I was in Kelley's Island OH, over the weekend and haven't picked up my pencil since Thursday so I'm a bit rusty. Tomorrow should be better.

Page 7 pencils

Another penciled page... I think that makes 4 in less than a week! [patting myself on the back]. This one is mostly done. but there are some things i need to address now that I sit back and look at it. mainly nate's hair is a little wacked out in panel 2. some other stuff too. time for sleepy.

Legends of Super Wrestle at SPX!

Awesome Poster by Andy and Kevin! We will be at SPX and (I think Kevin got us a table) so gotta keep pressing or I won't have much to show!

page 6 pencils done

some little things need tightening up but I can get that with the brush. If I can finish 2 of the last 3 pages this week I'll be thrilled.

page 6 pencils

back to work tonight and got a lot done. Should be able finish it tomorrow night.

page 5 pencils

Kevin sent me the script this morning and we are off! Pretty good for one nights work I must say. Not quite finished...but reasonably close to pencilling this whole thing in one night. started at around 8:30 while my kids were watching a movie. read them a chapter of Harry Potter and came back to draw. About 3.5 hours.

Monster Fights at SPX

Big day. Talked to Kev about trying to finish this chapter in time for SPX at the end of September. He is talking about sharing a table with Charles Soule! Coolness. Anyway that all means I would need to ink and color these 4 pages and do the full monte on 4 more *ahem* yet to be written pages. all in under 4 weeks. Scary thought for me considering my normal page rate is a page per week for pencils, a couple days to ink and another week to color! Well nothing like a challenge I guess. It's a good opportunity to push myself and see where it takes me. I should be updating this with new art a lot more regularly as I attempt the tiny but close to impossible (for me) task of finishing this chapter in 3 weeks. Wish me luck!

Anyway..progress made: I finished the pencils on page 4 and am pretty durn happy with the results. Take a look.
