Last week I was on the Nerd Perspective radio show (which was a LOT OF FUN). One of the guys hosting the show asked me, “I saw you post about The Legend of Jamie Roberts on your blog. What is that about?”
I’ll start with the story itself, and go from there. Continue reading “What Is The Legend of Jamie Roberts?”
I was chatting with some peeps on Twitter about personal projects, and they asked me, “What’s your personal project?”
And I said, “I don’t have just one. I have several in various stages of completion.”
When I thought about it, it made sense to me, but it may make some people go, “Jeez, why do you work so hard on so much stuff ON TOP OF a day job?” Continue reading “Why I Make Multiple Comics at Once”
Time for some updates that aren’t related to the KickStarter for Johnson & Sir: The Collected Comics (which is going really well and you should totally show some support by checking it out, wink wink. Ok I’m done).
In the realm of the other comics, things are going really, REALLY well, actually. First… Continue reading “Charlie & Clow, New Comics, and Other News”
I have a ton of personal projects in the works, and I realize that it may be super confusing for you to keep up with all of them. Sometimes I myself have a hard time keeping up with the ones that don’t update online.
So, to make things easier for you and me, I’m making Wednesdays into a new feature,
The SuperMegaUltraMaxi Update! Continue reading “The SuperMegaUltraMaxi Update”
This is a sketch I finished yesterday, to practice making stone textures in pen. I feel like I somewhat succeeded, but I still need to practice illustrating depth. For example: that sculpture of the goddess is supposed to be sitting in a recess in the wall. I don’t feel like I did a good enough job of showing how deep the recess is. It could be fixed with tones, though, probably.
Oh, let me explain what this sketch is showing:
Jamie Roberts, the figure in the foreground, is approaching the entrance to the abandoned temple/city of Kinyaht. Kinyaht is entirely underground except for the entrance, which is covered in sculptures of the Goddess.
In their mythology, the Goddess created the World, and when people and creatures die, they return to an otherworld called The Way. In this mythology, the easiest way to get to The Way is through caves and going underground, so some people got together and built Kinyaht, an underground temple.
By the time Jamie and her friends find this temple entrance, though, it’s revealed that no one has been in Kinyaht for over 500 years…
I’m looking forward to developing this environment further, and practicing more backgrounds, landscapes, and environments. It’s something I want to get better at.
Thank you for reading! I’ll see you tomorrow with a new post.
