Yay! The cover to Issue 8 is finally inked. Took long enough. Now to do the coloring. I always worry about doing the coloring. I think it’s because it seems like such a big task and I’m often concerned about how the colors will turn out. It’s often an experiment.
Hey all. I’m about to rush off to my appointment, but I wanted to post this first. Matt and I are going to start working on a new design for RCSI Publishing here in a bit. I’ve spent this morning creating a mock-up. I rather like how this turned out.
Things will change during the coding stage, but this is just a general idea. And, on that note, I need to dash. Thanks guys and take care!
It’s a new month, which means a new wallpaper. This month, we’ve a segment from one of the comic pages of Wynnie. I like Wynnie and thought the panel turned out pretty so… I wanted to use a larger version of it.
Supporters, you can download the image on the Wallpapers page (under the ‘Extra’ tag) in the Supporters Area.

Due to how large the site’s becoming, we’re going to stop offering the 800×600 versions of the wallpapers. Hopefully that’s okay. The 1024×768, 1280×800, 1280×1024, and 1680×1050 will still be available. And yes, all the old wallpapers are still available. It’s the galleries that took the cut. I still need to go thought the blogs and edit posts that link to images in the gallery since… those images are in the process of being removed. It’s all good.
Maybe I’ll do that this afternoon – clean up the blogs, I mean. They’re just going to get bigger.
That’s all for now. Thanks for sticking with us, guys!
And, the commission is now complete. Hopefully it came out okay. Though personally, I love that camel. I don’t know why, I just do.
And yes, this was done with Prismacolor pens and Copic markers on 11×14 Bristol. My wrist is pretty sore, so I’m going to zone out for a bit before hopefully starting the wallpaper sketch. I need to get that finished up tomorrow.
It’s after midnight here as I write this, which means I should be asleep. But, for some reason I can’t fall asleep just yet, so I thought I’d show you what I’ve been working on this weekend. I still have the rest of the base colors to lay down as well as the shading. While the pencils went quickly, the inking took most of the weekend. The wrist had a lot of do with that. The odd mis-colors and over saturated markers are from scanning. They’re not on the drawing itself.
My goal is to have this one finished up tomorrow evening. It’ll be a long day, but doable. I then have to get back to working on the cover to Issue 8. I also need to do the cover for the trade as well as the trade’s extras. That needs to get to the printer by September. Oh, and I need a wallpaper for July too… Okay, I’ll do the wallpaper Tuesday. When did all these projects show up? When?!
For now, I need to get to sleep. Night all, and thanks for sticking with us!
