colors for chapter 2 of Monster fights

Spent too much time wrestling with the palette for this page (by "wrestling" I really mean avoiding it hoping inspiration would hit me). Finally I followed the advice of my economics professor who said, "the hardest thing about economics is getting your ass in the chair!" Turns out this is true about comics too and so I got my ass in the chair last night and finally past this page. Here is an excerpt:



The final, with words, will be posted at Superwrestle HQ after the current installment of Legends is done.

Mini Legends

had an itch to draw mini manga dudes. apologies for the crappy scan. I drew it about 2 inches by 3 so it looks a little rough all blown up. Anyway, here's Cassie, Nate and Kid Comet from Legends of Superwrestle!

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 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.
