So, after deciding to make the Post in full color, it took me a bit longer to finish it to my standards than I few anticipated. This was mostly due to other issues, like work, school, and life in general... But as of now it is in my gallery and ready for your viewing pleasure.

As for the story itself, it's 18 chapters deep in the synopsis, and that leaves me with about 42 more to write before I can begin thumbnailing.

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the poster, and I'll have an ACTION! shot coming up pretty soon that is in inking phase.

What's up Deviants?

Just wanted to let you guys know, I am currently working on a poster for the Graphic Novel I'm working on. It features head shots of two characters not in my gallery at the moment. It's a nice piece. I've finished the line work for the four images that I'm going to compile together, I just have to tone it up via Photoshop and arrange the layers like I want to see them portrayed for the final image. Expect that next weekend.

Why next weekend?

Well, truth is, my time for actually drawing has been limited. Not because of school or work in particular, but I have found out exactly how incredibly difficult this process of writing a graphic novel is. So, most of my energy has been invested in the actual writing process of that work, since ultimately that should come before the graphic work. Thus far I have completed the history of the world it takes place in, the currency system, the government/political system, all my groups/factions/special interests have been listed and described them in full, I have finished writing the Central Idea of the story, and the Plot. Honestly, that isn't even the majority of the work, but it is everything you generally MUST do in order for the next part to flow as smoothly as possible:

The Synopsis.

That's right, I'm working on a generalized version of the novel's "play by play". This is extremely time consuming, and has stretched my storytelling idea's to the limit thus far. I have completed up to chapter seven thus far, with my page layouts being anywhere from 15-19 panels per chapter so far. I have to say, I am quite impressed by it thus far.

Anyway, after the Synopsis is done, at LEAST I can pick up a drawing pencil and start the really fun part of creating this thing... even though I only get to draw thumbnails. After that though, I get to do the ACTUAL Panels. Which is going to be loads of fun!

That's the update though, and I'll have that poster up by next weekend.

Keep your pencils busy.

Hey everyone. Been a long, long time since I've updated this. I've completed quite a few pictures since then, and between having a new baby (Alleyne, 10 month old baby boy at this point), full time at work, full time at school... I sort of got lost with this whole thing. Later in the day I will be posting some black and white line work for characters in my project graphic novel, titled: The ROOT. In the mean time, yesterday I drew a picture and pushed it all the way to finished quality in celebration of my two year anniversary of picking up a pencil to draw. You can check it out in my gallery in the Fan Arts folder. It's a character named Yumi from Miki Falls, a graphic novel series created by Mark Crilley. If you have not heard of him, you should definitely google him and buy his books. They're outstanding. Anyhow, take a look... Enjoy, comment, rate, all that stuff. See you later!
