So here’s Jon, my favorite character from The Watchmen, in all his naked glory (Why artists tend to shy away from artistic nudity is beyond me).
I penciled this back about the time the movie came out and have just now gotten around to inking it thanks to crazy work deadlines. Hope you enjoy!
A time lapse video of the inks will be up soonly as well!
Time lapse inks of Jon, the infamous Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen.
Batch number four of the TWAYKI pages.
I’m currently penciling/inking pages 29-30 and looking back on these pages from a few weeks ago they seem a little stiff to me now, but I can already tell a marked improvement in my speed and quality. Hopefully I’ll keep better AND faster as the project progresses.
So now that I’m in a groove with my graphic novel gig I’ve had some free time on the weekends to just play around and draw for me again. Here’s something I did this weekend, inspired by a desire to make a children’s book and the song Clouds by Kaddisfly.
Here’s is the 3rd batch of pages from new full-time gig, a 90+ page online graphic novel for educational reading programs. Enjoy.
Page 9. A nice long conversation. Talking heads need room to talk.
Page 10, with pacing even!
Page 11, more room to talk for the talking heads.
Page 12. And cut to a blizzard! WTF?!
That’s it for now kiddies, tune in next week for more!
Time-warped video of me inking a piece for my cousin. The Superman mythos holds a special meaning for him and his children. 11×17 on Bristol, roughly 2 hours of inkslinging.
