So here's the first fully inked, colored and lettered page of Marathon! The book will be black with one color throughout and for this test I used a warm ochre. I'm currently leaning toward this area of the spectrum but until I'm coloring the book in earnest, that decision is still not final. Thanks for visiting and stay tooned for more previews and process posts!
Marathon Penciling is DONE!
All 183 pages of Marathon are now penciled! It’s been a long process but it’s all the sweeter for the effort it took to get here. Next leg of this ‘marathon’ is inking but for now, it’s DRINKING!
Whenever Warmup Sketch: Senor Salsa!
Drawbridge is now a superhero sketch blog and today's theme, 'Salsa', is no exception!
Whenever Warmup Sketch: Baby Monkey Chimera
I'm posting this a little late but yesterday's theme at Drawbridge was, 'Chimera'. I knew this was a setup for a tie-in with a certain infectious Youtube clip because the day before George O'Connor kept singing the video's earworm jingle. It near drove me insane. The above drawing is the result. Here's the clip in question. Warning: If you watch this it's almost guaranteed you will lose hours of your day humming or singing the melody.

Whenever Warmup Sketch: Bionic Bigfoot has a Posse!
On Drawbridge today, the theme is Bionic Bigfoot! I loved the Six Million Dollar Man television show as a kid and the bigfoot storyline was a huge deal. As some of you may know, Andre the Giant played the bigfoot! How cool is that!? So here's my take on the whole thing…
Daily Warmup Sketch: Happy Birthday, Kat!
This weekend is fellow Hypothetical Islander, Kat Roberts' birthday. To celebrate I did this sketch of Kat who once explained Biggie's song, Juicy, to me. She's very patient. Enjoy!
Marathon
As anyone whose been visiting this blog regularly might have noticed, there's been a dropoff on uploads of my daily warmup sketches on Drawbridge. That's in large part because I've been trying to ramp it up on my current graphic novel project, Marathon. The book is written by Boaz Yakin and tells the story of the first Greco-Persian war at Marathon. Above you'll see one of the very first inked pages from the book.
