Pre DCC Panel Peeks

Here's a peek at a couple of (non-sequential) panels from the preview book I currently have brewing for Denver Comic Con.

IN 3 WEEKS!!! Denver Comic Con 2013

It's that time of year again! The 2nd Annual DENVER COMIC CON 2013! Last year blew everybody's minds with such a huge attendance - it was a massive success and this year is looking to be an even bigger one! We local creators are in such a large debt to Illya Kowalchuk, Charlie La Greca, Frank Romero, Christina Angel and Bruce MacIntosh.

Once again, I'll be in Artist Alley (or Valley?) promoting Barbaric! I'll be selling a preview book and doing sketches at Booth A3. I hope to see you there! Friday May 31st through Sunday June 2nd.

A week ago

Well, about a week ago, this issue of ImagineFX (APRIL2013, #94) was sadly taken off the shelves at Barnes & Noble to be replaced by the May issue. I was so incredibly thrilled to have a 2-page spread featuring a step-by-step of how I've gone about creating BARBARIC as a part of that magazine. I never dreamed that I'd share page space with the likes of Syd Mead and John Watkiss (among many others).

If you have an interest in learning digital art techniques, I highly recommend this zine. It's invaluably filled with tips by working professionals sharing their ways. You can get a subscription here (and order back issues as well, like last April's, wink-wink) at www.imsnews.com/imaginefx-f007 or call TOLL FREE 1-800-428-3003.

BARBARIC will be in the APRIL issue (#94) of ImagineFX Magazine!!!

BARBARIC will be featured in the step-by-step two page spread called "Development Sheet" in an upcoming issue of my favorite sci-fi & fantasy art magazine: ImagineFX!!! I seriously couldn't be more excited about it!

Just verified with the editor - April Issue #94. Available March 1st!

Step 1 - Thumbnails

Step 2 - Pencils

Step 3 - Combine

Step 4 - Color

Step 5 - Finish

Pencil & gray tone to final color.

Here's a pencil and grey-tone combo sample panel from issue one. The book will be in color, so this is the second to last phase of the final art. The stage between this and coloring is a quick pass of digital painting to tighten, alter and clean as needed.
