practice with my new markers

got some fine line markers and started doodling. I've been doing a lot more work with the markers and pens without pencils to try and loosen up and I am starting to get some pretty nice results. the lines look ok but I can't resist adding some color.

A couple sketches from the weekend.

Took my sketchbook along with me on a weekend trip to Emerald isle with some friends.

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.

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.

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.
