Spring Updates

Okay...time to catch up. This year is shaping up to be quite a busy year, and I get the feeling that if I dont start keeping this blog up to date now,...I will fall horrendously behind once the true work starts up.

Curse of the Snake God issue #2 has begun production! I finished laying out the entire issue over the last week and am currently beginning the character designs and pencils for Rhemmiel's most recent adventures. Written by Marc Morrell and published through Nifty Comics, This issue is shaping up to be more exciting and an intense draw for me. Magical Gardens, Mystic curses, and an odd creature or two on the horizon...Plus plenty of corpses. And everyone knows Will Perkins loves drawing dead stuff.

Here is an early look at a starting sketch of our leading lady in COTSG 2 ,...

Strong National Museum of Play 2010

I was recently invited to attend and have a table set up for this years Comic Book Super Hero event at the Strong National Museum of Play. The event will take place September 25th and 26th. I will be there to meet and greet, sign and sell books, and draw for anyone who wants to watch! I will update with more news as it gets closer, but mark the calendars and check back here for updates to schedules and projects that will be on display!

Spiderman sketching tutorial

I recently received an email from a friend I met last October at Strong National Museum of Play's Comic book exhibit opening asking me to possibly put up a video explaining a few things. Bernard Asked "Will, how do draw the webs spidey holds when swinging,... and the spider on his chest?" So I threw together this VERY poorly done video. I will certainly need to make the plunge and grab a tripod for future videos. But for now...enjoy my shakey cam and absent minded sketching of Webs and Spiders.

Thanks Bernard! Hope this helps a bit.

CURSE OF THE SNAKE GOD cover preview!

Its taken some time to find a new routine with my new schedule, but here is an early look at my inked version of the snake god cover. Im really happy how this came out (much thanks to both Mat and Marc for their input and direction when I would slip into old habits). Finally getting a handle on the brush work. Its a different world all together than pencils and Ill admit it, ...the two parts of my brain have been at each others throats.

UPDATE: new version with spotted blacks thanks to the expert guidance of Marc Morrell. Gotta love it!

Not sure what I can show and what I shouldnt...but here is a small look at the upcoming project from Nifty Comics. Written by Marc Morrell and Art by myself.

COPY STORE featured in UK

Just received word from Spyros that this month issue of Advanced Photoshop Magazine (issue 61) features an interview with Liezel Buenaventura concerning her expert digital coloring abilities. Included is our cover to COPY STORE #1. Very cool news. A bit tough to get my hands on a copy out in Western New York, but if you can find one, check it out. Its pretty cool. Glad more people are giving Liezel the recognition she deserves, because she blew us away with her take on our cover.

Pencils on First issue Done!

FINALLY! Doing a page-a-day of pencils is a lot harder than I imagined without losing steam. it took a lot longer than 26 days to get the 26 pages, but while working back at the Vineyards Wine and Spirits store in Canandaigua I managed to finish up pencils to my upcoming comic written by Former Marvel Bullpen artist Marc Morrell! Thanks goes to the manager of Vineyards to say the least for taking the brunt of the owners complaining while they paid me to draw the comic while the store was dead.

Also, we got a cool little mention in an August Nifty Comics News update a while back...here. about 3 paragraphs in. Should help push me through Inks in the next month. Once inked, and approved, I will start updating with sneak peaks and promos!
