Halloween Gallery: Horror of Truckula

 

Hope everyone's having a great Halloween season! This week, I present you with the rig of darkness, the most ghoulish ride on wheels, the legendary vampire truck of nightmares, TRUCKULA!!!!

Maybe I should have Olivia Nightshade battle Truckula sometime...

Drawn on real paper (with real pencil and ink) then colored in Krita.

EDIT: I thought it would be available by now but I forgot how long it takes for these things to be processed (my fault). Please forgive the delay.

EDIT: It's available now.
 
Anyway, stay tuned to this site for more updates, and happy reading!

Halloween Gallery #11: Lord Necron

Right back at you with another Halloween drawing. This one featuring the vampire nobleman, Lord Necron as seen in this comic.

This is another one where I tried something new in Photoshop. I actually didn't ink this drawing at all. Once I drew the pencils, I just used Photoshop levels to darken the lines and the "stamp" filter to smooth them out. I think it worked great for the backgrounds, but on the character I kind of missed all the varied line-weights I get inking with the brush tool. But, it didn't seem to matter too much once the colors were added.

Speaking of colors, this is another one where I tried to do more with background painting to try to get more of a painted animation background look with more contrast between character and background. I think I did a better job this time so don't be surprised if this is the "look" of my backgrounds from now on.

Hope you like it, and Happy Halloween!

Halloween Gallery #6: A Sweet Defeat

Hello everyone, I know I've been absent from the site for awhile. The comic book and some family issues have kept me away. But, I'm back and here to kick off the 2013 Halloween season with a new edition of my Halloween Gallery!

 This comic will be very familiar to those who were kind enough to visit my table way back in Nippon Con. It's an excerpt from my upcoming comic book, Amusing Tales #1. Consider it a sneak preview.

Rest assured that I'm working hard on the full book (it will be 36 pages, full color), and I've got plenty of surprises in store for the book, the Halloween Gallery, and more!

As you can see I just couldn't resist doing a spoof of a certain classic ad series...
