So, back in November, I was hired by a writer named Joseph Pignataro to do the art chores on a Sci-fi/Horror comic he had written called “Children of the Apocalypse”. Long and short of it, a few months, a few speed bumps, and a few rewrites later, the project gets new life under the new title of “Apocalypse Jack” and is now being represented by an agent named Wendi Niad (anybody who likes Ender’s Game might recognize her name as the agent who helped get the Ender’s Game comics done) who has done work with Marvel Comics in the past and is getting this project placed on Joe Quesada’s desk at the end of the month for consideration. The story revolves around the whole Mayan “2012″ thing. I didn’t write it, I’m just the drawing monkey on this one. What you see here is the cover for the first issue, which is also being used as the cover for the pitch. The Marvel stuff was added to basically be like, “Look how good that Marvel name looks on that! Just make it official, damn it!” If this project gets picked up by Marvel, it means good things for The Path, too! With the extra money from the big “M”, I’ll be able to quit one of my jobs and devote more time to my comic-baby. Wish me luck, gang! We’ll all know around the end of the month!

I’m so productive!

Seriously. I am. It’s kinda magical.

For one, I’ve started doing TABtS again, and I’m very happy about that fact. I’m going to be sticking to a MWF update schedule this semester, so yay for that. Also, I’ve done some rather cool site revisions. I remade the top banner, made it so the avatar changes for each news post depending on my mood, and a few other minor changes. BUT the one that I’m particularly proud of is the new Mediocre Militia button on the side now. Now, its a much larger half-banner that every time the page is loaded, switches to a picture showcasing our art for each of the comics. It’s a very simple php script and I can give it to anyone who’s interested. Let me know!

Here’s the images that I have cycling through so far. If you have a better picture let me know and I’ll put that in, these were just jacked from your pages, haha!

Anyway. Naka-Con coming up. It’ll be myself, Zac, and Dave in attendance. Oh yeah.

It’s me again!

Ok so here’s another experiment with the markers.  Even though it didn’t turn out how I expected I realized with this I LOVE THESE MARKERS! It’s like super blendy paint in  a pen.  I have to get used to the fact that the color dries completely different from how it goes down.  I do notice that the skin tone is very orange, but overall i really like this.  i wanna try some realism next…they just blend so purdy!

So I’ve come up with this really new nifty completely original idea.  Cute vegetables! huh, what do you mean that was so last con.  no no no, joey didn’t do it first, that was FRUIT, this is COMPLETELY different.  toatally, entirely, I mean, uh, er,  ummm….HE STOLE IT FROM ME!! IT WAS ALL MEEEEEEEEEE!

ok so as soon as color gets involved I totally forget how to do shading.  bummer…

Naka-Kon Anime Convention

Merry Christmas you yahoos!

Naka-Con anime convention in Kansas City is coming up in the month of February. For those who would be interested in attending, I have table and hotel already taken care of. That means that all you would have to do is fly down. Let me know if you guys would be interested, I know Zac and Carly and I talked about maybe hitting up some anime conventions this upcoming year, but if any others would like to come along, let me know and I’ll start getting the weekend badges. I’m lookin’ at you Froo. It’s high time you joined us on one of these escapades and I think you’d do wonderfully.

Let me know guys, I’d like to get the badges ready by the first week of January.
