Zac and All, Page 01, inked, no text yet. Actually looking forward to using my downloaded "ACTION COMICS" fonts. Still waiting to see if we use color or not.

Zack and all, page 2 done being inked. Still gotta add text. Color, we'll see...

THUMBNAILS

Thumbnails for a comic I'm working on with my friend/colleague Zack Thomas.

"Robot Man"

Penciled, Inked, and then colored in Photoshop. The "grass" brush in Photoshop rocks! Laid the colors down, then it was pretty much dodging and burning for shadows and highlights.

Iron Man Sketch

Starting to play around with inking sketches now. Colored Iron Man and background sky in Photoshop. Honestly the sky wasn't as difficult as I thought it'd be. Photoshop has a number of specialty brushes that give more natural effects. And here I thought I'd have to find a ripped copy of Corel Painter to do this. Played around with a lense flare also.

Shooter

A bit older sketch that I inked. Then, fun with markers. Did a lot of research and then decided on Copic Sketch markers. Two tips, one a wide (though not as wide as the standard Copic) and one a brush tip (very nice). Also still compatible with the Copic airbrush system which I haven't used for a finished sketch yet. This one still seems a little unfinished, but I got distracted and moved on.

Super Office Man - Page 01 - no text, no color

Super Office Man, page 01.

Wanted to see what it was like to do a comic, so here is the beginning. No text or color yet. Took some inspiration from the office I work in for some of the images. I had been looking at Batman Black and White while I started this one. Don't know if I'll feel the need to add color or not. I will say that so far, comics do seem to take time. Laying out multiple pages, image sequencing and how that might go with the text, which points-of-view to use. And then inking, that seems to be a whole other thing in itself. I don't know, I may be too much of a slow mover/perfectionist to ever crank out comics with any kind of speed, but they are fun to explore for now.
