Finished pages

Here's a few of the finished pages of the comic, fully inked and lettered

The first few pages

2010-12-17T14:16:00.000-08:00

Another concept drawing from my sketchbook

Thumbnails for pages 1-4 of the actual comic

Page 1 pencil rough

Page 3 pencil rough

Page 4 pencil rough

Here's one more concept drawing, and finally some of the actual comic book. I put up the thumbnails for the first four pages, plus the pencil roughs for pages 1, 3, and 4. Page 2 is particularly important, so I started it later so my drawing of the characters is a little more warmed up. Hoping my sister (who has a lot more experience writing) will help me rewrite the dialogue so it doesn't sound like a caveman wrote it.

More Concepts for Comic

2010-12-17T14:04:00.000-08:00

Some more concept drawings for my comic. These were all drawn in Flash using a Cintiq. Most of these are just ideas for the look, and don't have any story relevance (at least not yet. Maybe if I do a sequel they'll become part of it)

My Comic

2010-12-16T00:54:00.000-08:00

So I've been talking about doing a comic book for several years now, and I imagine those who have heard me mention it in the past must think I'm full of hot air. However, at long last, I have finally gotten around to actually working on the damn thing, and will start posting some of my progress here. First up is some concept ideas I doodled awhile back for the comic. Enjoy.

Shark Week Day 5

Todays shark is the Porbeagle Shark. They"re kind of cute. As long as they're not gnawing on you.

For Wednesday, the frill shark. They kind of look like a cross between a moray eel and a newt.

Todays's shark is: the Zebra Shark. It's the primary prey of the lion shark.

My New Reel

2010-04-22T12:47:00.000-07:00

I just put together my new reels The one here is a thirty-second quick reel. I have a longer reel with more acting bits on it, but I can't post it yet since it has clips from shows that haven't aired yet. If you're interested in hiring me I can show you that reel on an individual basis.

2009 Sketchcrawl #22

2009-04-12T18:54:00.000-07:00

I participated in the sketchcrawl in LA this last Saturday. I've been meaning to do it for awhile but this was the first one I actually managed to attend. It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed meeting other artists and talked to a lot of really cool people. I feel like I didn't get that many actual drawings done, but it was a great experience anyways, and I hope to attend the next one. Anyways, check it out:

Flash Backgrounds

2008-08-24T20:03:00.000-07:00

One of my current freelance gigs right now is working on a trailer as part of a pitch for someone. These are some of the backgrounds for it. They were all drawn directly in Flash. It's little frustrating because I know I could get the textures and subtlety I was going for in Photoshop, but I'm wanting to keep this entire project in Flash to keep it simple. I know all of my designer friends could have turned out something more interesting in their sleep, but these are important milestones for me, and I'm learning a lot about drawing and coloring in Flash. So there.

Steam-powered Gorilla

2008-07-08T12:01:00.000-07:00

I don't consider myself much of a designer, but I did this character as a logo/mascot for a website my sister is working on. It's all done in flash. The character is jointed so he could be animated eventually. At some point I plan to do a complete turn-around for him. The website is Tin Ape at tinape.com.
