Once again apologizing for the lack of updates. Time just flies the older you get. ha.
I have been a little busy with projects, but it seems to be all over the place so this post is going to wander by the nature of the times.
Well seems that old KiGor wide vision story I did a couple of years ago for Moonstone is finally going to surface. If you remember it is a prose story with I think five illustrations I did that spread across the double page spread. Remember, this is the one. Written by the great Martin Powell, so look for 'War of the Beast-Men' sometime in the future....I will keep you posted...I promise.
Also been working on another proposed KiGor thing, after all I need a few bucks to pay down some of my medical bills that roll in. Believe me it isn't much of a chance at some money, but then again no publisher pays much at all anymore. It is all back end money and promises mostly. Shame the industry has to resort to this kind of treatment of the talent. Anyway, I feel I draw a bit better than a couple of years ago, so went for a slight redesign of the KiGor character last night while watching 'the Spider Returns' serial.
I was also dealing with a haunting feeling that the Creature from the Black Lagoon and the Deep Ones from HP Lovecrafts tales are closely related. So was playing around with that in my daily warm up sketches...and it is thinking toward another little project for bucks I may have going.
Also I have been playing around with some color, especially for the Number 13 project for Sequential Pulp/Dark Horse. I consider myself one of the worst color theorists in the business. Plus I seem to agonize over it way too much when I color something, and it just takes so much time hitting the art one more time after inking it. Sometimes after I ink something, I feel done with it. ha. Anyway here is a un-refined color version of the first page of Number 13.
Also, since I am thinking ahead to doing more conventions next year and the year after, and also wishing and hoping I can take early retirement....so I figured while I had a pay check coming in I thought I would go ahead and get a business card....then I figured I needed two....one kind of serious one, and one spotlighting the cartooning aspect of everything from cartoony to serious illustration type stuff. So here those are.....
So see even tho I don't make it around to posting, and feel I don't have anything new to show, I guess I really do most of the time.....it may not all be finished stuff, or good stuff.....but it is stuff! ha.
And of course once again I am slowing down due to my health, can't seem to sit at the board for ultra long periods like I used too. So some days when the day job is long and tough, the evening just isn't very productive.
So Loyal Legionnaires hope you are still tuning in........and if you are, Thanks for hanging around and waiting on the old man.
