Drawing by night

Went over to DC comics website today, and found out about Zuda comics, DC comics’ new project.

I find the idea interesting, but I cannot look at Zuda without remembering Marvel’s “Epic”. Does anyone remember Epic?

Epic promised to take submissions from new talent and then pick the best and give them publishing contracts. To observers, such as me, in retrospect, it seems to have been a marketing ploy, setup to draw attention and boost initial sales as Marvel tried to crank out spin-offs and new titles for lesser known properties.

But Zuda is from DC comics, it has a social web application premise, and I like their idea of the mail-in comics jam.

Maybe we’ll put together an 8 page comic side-story of The Trigger for Zuda, or a whole different comic book.

One thing is for sure, I’ll be watching. As I’m sure many other aspiring comic artists and fans will be as well.

Hey! I’ve been taking some flak for not posting about the comic lately, and I admit, I would have liked to be more present!

Anyhow, things have calmed down a bit and tomorrow I should be dedicated to coloring in one additional comic book page. So with any luck, check back monday for a new page.

In the meantime, here’s a picture of a figurine I made to help me draw Will from different angles!

Just kidding, this is just what happens when you spend time with kids and you’ve got your project in the back of your mind Though if there were an old school console game for the comic, this is probably what Will would look like in it!

Back to some serious comic bok stuff by Monday, promise!

Sunday is drawing to an end and a new comic book page is colored and up!

So here’s the latest page completed for the Trigger project comic. This one has a couple of things I’m less satisified with, but it has come together nicely with the coloring, in my opinion.

Promise made, promise kept!

A good part of my Sunday! I did take some time to handle a few things in the house and catch up with my xbox 360! All in all, a successful day

Next up, I’ll be attacking the first fighting scene in the comic, and for these scenes, I’m developping a different approach to the coloring.

I’ll ahve to organise all the pages I’ve shown in one easly to browse gallery at some point. probably over at comicspace.

Stay tuned, and your feedback is always appreciated!
