I finished up a new format for Saltwater Witch last weekend--with new art, all new lettering.  It took me a couple weeks to complete, but I haven't had time to post about it until tonight. If you haven't checked it out yet, please do. I'd love to hear what you think.

If you would like to link to to Saltwater Witch, I've created some banner images:

We had thanksgiving with just the four of us, and I managed to squeeze in some drawing today, a good start on the top panels for for page 239 of Saltwater Witch.  I did both of these in Sketchbook Pro on the iPad.  Plus a little bit of Art Rage. Got myself an AYL stylus a few weeks ago from Amazon.  I haven't always been a stylus fan, but this one' ( Read more... )

Okay, I've posted them--www.SaltwaterWitch.com! For the foreseeable future I'm going to draw panels on my iPad (color when I can) and letter in Photoshop, hoping to get this down as a system that won't take all of my time. I have the rest of this chapter and a bunch of the next--roughly twelve pages--planned out, storyboarded but really sloppy. I ( Read more... )

I'm back at Saltwater Witch for the time being, working on the next two pages, 214 and 215.  I "finished" and posted 214 last night, expect 215 tonight. I say "finished" because I don't have time to really finish these pages, but I'm posting them anyway because you're asking for them.  Actually it's more along the lines of where the hell are the ( Read more... )

With updated pages! I put these back up last night but forgot to tell anyone. I haven't put up the new pages I'm working on--the rest of chapter 12, but you should notice some updates through the first couple chapters.  I'm still a bit embarrassed about a lot of the art and lettering in chapters 2 through 8, and I'm working on new panels for 12, ( Read more... )

Took a couple hours last night to sketch and paint this out on the iPad.

Here's a character study for a project I'm about to start, two of the main characters--art below and video showing progress below that. The video shows how I color and shade in the Brushes app on the iPad.  I usually use Sketchbook Pro to do the rough sketch, bring it into ( Read more... )

Just posted the latest page--page 228 (Page 211 in image file names, but that's because I have a bunch of page 12a and 12b's, and it messed up my nice consecutive order).

I'm really happy with this art.  Finally...finally! I'm getting to the point where I can draw and paint a whole page, then letter it in under four hours. I started last night, ( Read more... )
