Fallyn Soul

Thats the title for the second project I'm working on with our newest member, Tom Bennis. Ill let him give the details but suffice it to say, its not a superhero book. Which is nice because it gives me the chance to draw different stuff, you'd be surprised how sick you can get drawing cityscapes all day long. Anyway, here's the first page for you to enjoy.

And now the second. I'm trying to appeal to the female comic reader demographic here with this project.

a love note to gainax

honestly these blog titles have almost no bearing on their content.

I somehow managed to make 7 new pages and 2 replacement pages on the inside of 2 days.(bringing the total number of pages done in a week to 11, a personal best)
The 3 new pages plus the 2 page splash page i made the day before are now the new intro to the first issue while the 2 other pages replace older art that i am honestly glad no one has to see anymore. I'd usually have a set of scans to follow but im typing this on my blackberry and am nowhere near my scanner. (thus all the grammatical errors)
I also completed 2 pages for issue #2 and 2 pages for Tom Bennis's project "Fallyn Soul" which has a "Bleach meets Wormwood" feel to it that i think you're gonna like very much.
The plan, is to pick back up on that issue next week with another marathon drawing session while i get D-listers formatted and to the press. Anyone interested in purchasing an issue can do so from Leftfeild's comics and cards in Milford, PA and also from the website comixpress.com in about a month from now.
As soon as i get off work tomorrow morning, ill scan the new D-lister pages. Untill then...

Bring your trunks, Im gonna splash ya

I can honestly say this is the most fun I've had drawing so far. This splash page is set to replace the first two pages in the double sized #1 due out in Dec. I replaced a lot of the art because half the book was drawn almost 3 years ago and I'm just not that artist anymore. Part of the reason this book took so long is because of that. Not being satisfied with leaving in old art, I've been replacing pages here and there (Especially the ones that were scanned poorly). So the first issue may look a bit hodge podge because of the old and new art but its still the best damn comic no one has read yet.

Honestly what really burns is that I cant use any of these characters because...well they're dead.

Pencils in the Can !

Oh man, I didn't think I'd finish so soon (or late depending on how you look at it?) but the pencils on issue #1 double sized (which is basically issues 1 and 2 combined) are done. All thats left to do is final editing and lettering and its off to the printer. I wish i could color it, I'm capable but I just don't have the time. So in the future if I can find a color artist willing to work basically for free, they'll just have to stay B&W for now. Perhaps if i get picked up by a publisher they will hook me up. Anywhoo, here's a small sample of the 38th page for you to enjoy. The rest of the issue goes on sale in 5 weeks. Still out before Ultimate Hulk vs Wolverine!
