School in Session: Chickasaw Final pages

These are the finished pages for the Chickasaw comic I did for a project at school. There are a few things that I thing I can tweak and make better about them now... but overall, I'm glad they turned out fine.

Firefly

So I had to do a project where we took a favourite canceled TV show and turn it into a cartoon show. Four characters from the show. So, Of course I did the greatest ever Firefly! It was definitely fun to do these characters... I may go back and finish out the cast later... Maybe?!?!

TMNT

These are pages from a project I did for last year. It was a four page story about anything I want, so I had to do NINJA TURTLES! I mean come on... so here it is.

I decided to go with a Raphael vs. Casey Jones. Two of my favs... Kinda spent a good amount of time on these so I'm pretty proud of them.


There will be more to come soon!

School in Session: Tight thumbnails- Chickasaw Adventure

So School has started again, and I'm getting swamped...

I've been working non-stop since school started back at the beginning of the year. I don't have much to show yet, But I thought it would be nice to put up my Thumbnails and Tight roughs for "Chickasaw Adventures" a terrible book that we have to draw for....

The story is about this Native American boy that time travels to different points in the History of the Chickasaw tribe

But yeah, thought you'd Like to see a Roughs to Tighter Roughs process. I'll be sure to get the Final pages on here when I'm done.
Here are the Tighter Roughs that the basis for my finals that I'm working on now...





Till next time...

The Process of the Cover

Finally as promised! I thought it would be kinda cool to put up the process of the cover to show what i do to create this critters.












First Scott normally sends me an idea for the cover. Or I find a theme in the script that ties it together. This is a famous cover from the "Crisis on Infinite Earths." Very neat.
















After getting the cover I like to make a couple thumbnails to show Scott what I'm thinking of doing. Just some simple sketches really, to get the idea down...













Now After getting the OK from Scott on the thumbnail, I go ahead and start to finalize the cover. With the pencils I definitely go ahead and get the cover looking finished. This is where i do all the perspective stuff with ruler, get poses natural, place people in a the right ways and all that...














This the stage of Inking. I like how this stage can really change a piece sometimes. I try and do a lot of major details in this. I like to work on the inking and bringing out different qualities from the pencils.















After penciling and inking, I move onto colors. This is what the basic colors look like without lighting, shading, and Titles and such...

















Shadows, Lighting, and all those wonderfull things come next and help make the colors really pop. I like this part. It can really make the covers turn from ok to wonderful!



















The final touch is putting the Titles and Chapter stuff all on..


Well I hope you all enjoyed and learn a little about my process of doing covers. I plan on doing more of this of more covers. Hopefully I can find all the pencils to most of them, I here thats what a lot of people want to see.

Well stay tuned! more art to come!
