The Phactor

This piece here, is for our new web comic series called the Phactor. It's a spinoff of Blood Shed and follows the case files of the London BCU (Behavioral Crimes Unit)
as they figure out...the factors of criminal behavior. The web comic will be up in a few weeks. The first Blood shed web comic will be up soon as well. Taking up where we left off in our printed issue 3. The Phactor web comic mini site is already up. You just have to go to doubleeye.com, hit comics, the phactor, and your there.

Das Colors!

I am learning to color better using some tricks of the trade I have learned through a helpful email from Takeshi Miyazawa, and also my local creator comrads Marc Deering, and Otis Frampton. Otis has great info on his blog, and I followed the links to some damn good info. I have started playing around with this Bshed cover idea I did a few months back.

Today's sketch session

I Sketched this herr lady up this evening as a warm up. I will get around to inking her later in the week. I found the source pic while looking through gettyimages for reference material. Babes and Guns! You can't go wrong with that son!

Funky Fresh, and yes yes yallin!

I met Jamar Nicholas a few years back at the Small Press Expo, I was pushing Blood Shed issue 0, and he was pushing the Jamar Chronicles. I was really impressed with this dude, and enjoyed his book. Not too long ago he created this character called Detective Boogaloo, I love this webcomic, I love the characters, I love the old school hip hop vibe. Mike Wieringo did a sketch of Det. Boogaloo, and it was awesome! It inspired me to do a little sketch, my joint aint know where near as good as Wieringo's, or Jamar's, they are both fantastic artists, but I was inspired so I thought I would sketch something up. So here it is. If you wanna check out Jamar's Blog hit the link at left.

I got that Luchini

Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede at their best baby! Camp lo, one of my favorites. They got that 70's vibe. Check it!

The Pencils

Here are the Warm up pencils. I was kinda inspired by the World Cup, so I decided to do a pinup of Amanda Storm, our central character in Blood Shed.

The Warm up

This was a quick warm up before I started inking my next page of Blood Shed. I whipped the pencils up during lunch one afternoon, for sole purpose of a quick warm up.

I can't wait for the weekend!

I cant wait for the damn weekend. It's only tues, in 30 more minutes it will be wednesday...one day closer. I am inking Blood Shed, and listening to The Smiths. Meat is Murder baby! Well here is an inked page that I am working on. I am still tweaking it. I will post other pages as I am done with them. I am hoping to get some pages done this long weekend...I am praying for no distractions. Anyway here is the page.

The warm up

This was a silly little pic I did, based on a little anime figure I have sitting on my book shelf. The was just a quick warm up.

Cover pencils

Here are the pencils for the inking job.

Cover Concepts

Damn! This is my first post of the year. Well here is a cover concept I am working on for Blood Shed. I am also attempting to ink my work for the first time. Although my inks will not be as good as Dave Bryant or the Master Marc Deering, I am still gonna give it a shot. Hopefully I will continue to get better.

It's been awhile.

It's Been awhile since the last post. Sorry. We have been busy. Not that many people visit here anyway. However, for those that show us love from time to time, we apologize for the wait. With that being said...The update is as follows we are working steadily on bshed 4. Marc Deering is back working on inking those pages that have been sitting on his drafting table for months. Not his fault though, them dudes over at image had him tied down. Kanilla is workin them colors, and my slow ass is finishing up the last bit of pages. Hey we got day jobs! ok? I'm posting a page from bshed 4. This takes place during Trident's (Amanda Storm) interrogation of Ana Ramsey. Thanks for visiting.

Free Comic Book Day Sketch Girl

This was a fun little piece I did while doing the free comic book day signings.
I needed a sign that advertised my price for sketches that day, so I whipped up this cute girl. Marc Deering laid down some inks on the girl, and we all kinda liked it, so I decided to post it here on the blog. It will be up on the doubleeye.com site next week.

Enjoy

Busy and tired!

I have not posted since saturday. I have been a little busy this week. I have had a a serious computer problem, I plugged in my new USB scanner, and my vaio went out like a light bulb. The tech shop, had to end up sending it off to Sony for fixing. Good thing I got plenty of old computers lying around. I have a damn graveyard for old computers in the studio closet. So I just dug out an old laptop, and I'm back in business using this old HP, until sony sends my joint back to me.

The day job is keeping me busy, and working on the new issues of Blood Shed at night leaves me with little sleep. I am also tryin to workout at the GYM a bit, cause life behind the drawing table without excercise will cause the space between your belly, and the edge of the drawing board to decrease severly! So trying to do the GYM, the day job, and the comic, is tiring me out a bit. I will be posting some new stuff to the site soon, as well as some pics here. It's damned beautiful outside. Hate to be inside on a day like this, but one has to work.

update at doubleeye.com

I have just posted some new images in the portfolio/sequential section of the site. Their are 4 penciled pages, and 3 inked pages from the upcoming issue 4 of Bloodshed. I have also posted the color pinup of Rook, that you can also see posted on this blog. Marc's inks look good, he makes anyone look good. I cant stress how important inkers are to the craft of comic book creation. God Bless the inkers!!!

This is the main character is a new book that double eye plans to put out next year sometime. It's a creator owned project from our editor on blood shed Shane McNulty. Rook is a cool complex character, and I cant wait to see what shane has written for this guy. This pic was inked by Marc Deering. We did this about a year ago, I like the inks Marc laid down.
