Epic Happenings at Errant Apprentice!

Epic stuff is going down over at fellow studio-mate Kevin Hayman’s Errant Apprentice. Epic indeed. Wars of goblins, major characters dying. It’s awesome.

Plus, add to that that the main character, Terry, is starring in a Phineus adventure and will play a major part in The Kali Saga!

Go read up, get caught up in the story, and be ready for Terry in Phineus, soon!

Bonus Material

I’m starting work on bonus material, that will coincide with the current story, but will be available for PDF download and/or back up in the printed trade paperbacks when they come out.

I will try to do several of these through out the year. Would any of you consider a membership (cheap, like $2 a month) if this stuff was available only to members? Lemme know.

This will allow me to delve into a lot of the secondary characters and side stories and historical stories that I mention in the main story, but never have space to tell.

And don’t worry, we will continue the DAILY FULL COLOR adventures as has been going on.

Thanks for your support,

Barry

The Errant Apprentice

Here is my good buddy and studio-mate, Kevin Hayman’s comic,
The Errant Apprentice. A world similar to Phineus’, swords, sorcery and monsters in the modern world. Terry, the guy in the middle will be playing a role in the Kali Saga later this year. Check out his comic here: http://olddyingkitty.com/errant_apprentice/

Creephunter delay

I gotta apologize to Creephunter fans and especially Mikey Wood for starting Creephunter 3 and then abruptly stopping. I have WAY too much on my plate at this minute, with DAILY Phineus , too many sketch cards and commissions and too much summer activity. I will restart Creephunter, soonish, once I get a sizable buffer built up. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Little Person among Media Giants

I was just interviewed for an film that is being funded through Indiegogo. TGT’s kurt Sasso is mounting a monumental film about the struggle to survive in a world of media.

I’ve also donated pages for the stuggle. Please head over and check out the campaign and pitch in!

A Little Summary

This documentary follows an independent interviewer struggling to survive in this mass media world, working hard to not only find his place in the world, but to be recognized as well.

To do this he needs to get one great interview. The journey evolves by the not only personal stories being told, but also through other interviewees on their own successes and failures and how they are attempting to make a name for themselves.Morgan Spurlock is an influence on my Film making all because of “Comic Con: A Fans New Hope” as well as the Documentary “Indie Game: The Movie”.

Harryhausen monster fest!

All the monsters! Wow, how many of these things have I used in Phineus?How many more will I put in? Ray, I love and will miss you!

Talos by Harryhausen

Another of Harryhausen’s gags that I’m using in the comic. (Oops! I’ve said too much!)

Ray Harryhausen’s Kali!

In keeping with our Ray Harryhausen theme, this week another great scene from the master! This one has it all! Harryhausen! Kali! (One of the influences on using Kali in the current storyline) and pre-Doctor Who Tom Baker!

Classic!

Ray Harryhausen 1920- 2013

Ray One of my biggest heroes and influences since I was a kid and my babysitter Susan took me to see “Jason and the Argonauts” has been Ray Harryhausen. He was a master of animation, stopmotion and special effects in so many movies for so long a time.

He added so much character and life to the little rubber puppets that inhabited the worlds he created.

He acted through his dolls in a way that you rarely see in CGI.

hero719_harryhausen-cyclops

From Mighty Joe Young, to alien flying saucers , to an army of skeleton warriors and even a hydra and Kali, herself, he brought them all to life, by hand one frame at a time.

I became a film maker because of Ray, made my own stop motion monster movies in my basement. Sewed my own dinosaur puppets to animate and majored in animation, widely because of him.

I recorded and watched “Clash of the Titans” EVERY DAY for 3 years when I was a kid. All because of Ray.

Ray passed away, today at 93.

He will be missed. God bless, sir.

Process Blog

Here are some of the (NSFW) sketches I do for the comic. I have a concept design for Ganesh, here, plus a couple pages from Chapter 5 and pages for the guest story I did for Adam Black’s Locus comic.

I always work at 8 x 12, old school on paper with pencil and markers. I use a good old clip board, usually on my lap in front of my tv, while I watch movies, Supernatural or hockey.

I find it much easier to draw smaller and it makes my line work look awesome.

The Locus pages were done 24 Hour Comic style as I did start it back in October as a 24HCD.

Just a little peek into my comic madness.

I am the Doctor, and I am Afraid!

This new 2nd half of Season 7 seems a lot like a whole new season. I’m really digging on Clara Oswin Oswald. As much as I loved Amy Pond, Oswin’s killer, too!

Can’t wait for March 30th!
