Tales to Astonish!


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As promised (to my students) here is the full set – from pencils to inks to full color for the “Tales to Astonish” No. 14. I’ll have the Manga cover done soon. Stay tuned!

Comic Cover Inks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   Here are the inks for a couple of pieces I did last week. The first, “Tales to Astonish” is a commission piece. The second, “Curse of the Serpent” was done for last weeks class, ‘Penciling for Graphic Novels.’ 

   The students got to see the completed pencils, but wanted to see the full inks, so I’m posting this for them. I know they’re looking – ‘cuz I can hear them breathing on the screen!

  These are photos of the inks. I will be posting the scanned inks, as well as the full color versions. It takes time, so stop pressuring me!

“Where Mothers Dwell”

 

In case you haven’t noticed, I like to parody things. One of my favorites is parodying comic book covers, and I like the classics (gold, silver, and bronze age stuff). Here is a cover based on “Where Monsters Dwell” No. 5 (Sept. 1970). Just in time for mothers day!

A day of Drawing

    These are the drawings I’m working on today: A political cartoon, 2 pages for the coloring book I’m working on, and 2 superhero drawings for an upcoming class.

   Busy day. Love it!

Saturday Funnies!

  I am putting together a newspaper comics section. Here is the very first illustration of 2025 – the Header. I am planning on this being filled with several of my comics, as well as some games/puzzles, and a readers section. I’m also planning to offer this both on-line, and in print. Haven’t decided if, for the print edition, I will go broadsheet (large), or Tabloid. I’m leaning towards tabloid for a number of reasons.

  The print version will be quarterly. On-line version probably through “Sub-stack.” Both by subscription.

Tales to Astonish!

Here’s another Classic Comic Book cover recreation. This time, “Tales to Astonish #31” May 1962. This is a completely hand drawn pen & ink piece.
