New Years Comic Resolutions

So, folks,

What are your resolutions for your comics for the new year? How many pages, issues, etc do you plan to finish this year? Are you going to publish? Please sahre…

I plan 2 pages a week of “Phineus”-related stories, plus my normal 3 full color strips of “Weirdlings” a week.
(Give or take, a 1 page week to a 3 page week)

What say you?

Sara: One Shot # 11

Sara-#-11

Okay, I suck , I was supposed to get this up last week, and I didn’t. I guess I’ll blame it on the holidays, even though I’m doing this on New Years eve.

AND… I didn’t get the pages done by today I wanted. Just this one, and a lot on backgrounds drawn. I’ll post them soon so you can pick them out as I post pages.

Happy New Year!

Hellboy by me


This is probably the best rendition of MAster Mignolas Hellboy I’ve ever done. Hellboy rocks!

Merry Christmas!

Excellent!!

So, tonight at work I just finished pencilling and inking two pages, and pencilled the last page of “The Radon Farting Bastard Aliens from Hell”. Just gotta ink thelast and do up the cover and blammo! Done!

Next back to The Sara: One Shot. I hope to get the first half(up to page 20) done by years end.

If I do, that’s 73 pages this year! That’s a page and a half a week. That’s not even counting the 125 Weirdlings strips (that’s another 42 comic pages!)That’s the equivalent of almost 6 – 20 page comics this year! Holy productive year Batman!!

Live the Metal.

The Path

Here’s a pin up I did for a swell guy, named Mr. Riot, who does a mighty fine comic over at :

http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Path/

I describe him as the bastard child of Mike Mignola and our very own Noeland Collins with Joseph Campbell as the grand father…or something like that.

Cool Stuff you should check it out!

Oh yeah and it’s about Cthuhlu…

Manga Studio

This is kinda cool…

MANGA STUDIO 3.0
A Japanese Illustration Standard Ships in the U.S.
By Ko Maruyama
Manga is known by many as a Japanese style of illustrating cartoons, both illustrated and animated. “Manga Studio 3.0” is the American release of the #1 manga-style illustration software. Previously known as Comic Studio, Manga Studio offers all of the tools needed to produce pages that are ready to go directly to the printer.

There are two versions of Manga Studio. The smaller version, Manga Studio 3.0 Debut is perfect for beginners. It’s not loaded with as many “bells and whistles” as the larger package, but at a price tag under $50, even professional artists will want to load up some stations with the tool. The ‘Debut’ version will still allow you to sketch, ink and publish cartoons.

The larger version, Manga Studio 3.0 EX, not only allows for everything that Debut offers, but also contains over 3,000 screen tones – to which you can add more. Additionally, in EX, you can import vector layers, 3D objects (lwo, obj, dxf, lws, stc), as well as Adobe Photoshop and Painter projects. ‘EX’ also supports Poser and Shade native file formats. EX can also export a layered Photoshop document, in case someone in your production pipeline prefers to work in that software. At just under $300, Manga Studio is also an affordable addition to any production studio.

We started to decorate today, all but the tree, because of my damn cat, Riley.

Last year we lost like 30 bulbs to the little bastard. They’re gold and shiny and he likes to knock them don and roll them down the stairs. Dammit!

Ghost Hunting

Nov 15 09:00 PM GHOST HUNTERS (SEASON 2.75) ATTACK OF THE IRISH ELEMENTAL on Sci Fi.

This is where the Ghost Hunters go to Leap castle in Ireland and investigate the hauntings there. This is also the haunting I based my “Terror of Leap Castle” on, check it out again at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/phinmagic/sets/72157594168153282/

I can’t wait, I already have my DVR set to record it!

Yay!

If I didn’t have to worry about money for a living I’d do comics by day and Ghost hunt at night!
