Strange Things Moss

Kali's origin

This is a concept that I have been working around in my head. On my non-stop goal to expand comics and to show the world how a comic narrative can be something more than words on a page. 
Enjoy,

Foil n Fur Demo

 Feast your eyes upon Foil n Fur Pg3: This is a demonstration of my creative process when making comics by hand.
1.) I start out with a color pencil when laying out the composition. I previously used  a non-photo blue pencil, but they cost too much. Plus, I love keeping all of my pencil marks, since I don't over render.

2.) A little goes a long way when doing layouts, let the page breathe; Never make tight pencils, due to potential changes.

 3.) Ink what you like, and leave out what doesn't work. With coloring/painting in mind you don't have to do much with the ink either. Just render out the narrative. I like to think of it as carving with acid.

4.) The rest is painting by numbers: Don't be afraid to experiment with different techniques. Treat the page as an experiment. If it goes wrong, you can always paint on top of it. Try to balance colors and balance the negative space. Less is always more, even when you are creating action.

5.) Don't be afraid to try different materials: on this image I used acrylics, color pencils, markers, paper, and ink.

6.) Confidence goes a long way: Become a zen master and realize there are no mistakes, and you are creating what was already there.

FYI: There was no digital manipulation on this comic book page. All analog materials.

Big Barda

Big Barda is the ideal feminist character. The way BB is matched up with Mr. Miracle is a nice role reversal. This may or may not had been the intentions of Kirby, but to see it played out in MM is great. BB's costume is also cutting edge, I see many women today indirectly wear many of the same colors, patterns and designs. My reason for drawing BB is to show how fashionable her outfit really is through the color choice I have made and with the simple contours. Women will eat up BB's outfit in the near future. Kirby is the best.

Wolverine: Beast Mode

It is rare that I paint violence, and even more-so superheroes, as much as I like them. This isn't my typical style, but I was in the mood to create hyper detailed paintings. Enjoy Wolverine: Beast Mode

Originally I had Wolverine eating the poor sap's intestines, but by the end of the painting, I lost the under-painting and didn't feel like putting it back in. You can see his intestines in the first few photos. 

Enjoy,
