Benchmarks...


My buddy Ryan John asked me an interesting question the other day as i was showing him some new artwork for the comic. We've critiqued each others work over the years. He said "Are you going to go back and Re-do any of your older pages." I thought for a moment then answered. "Probably not." I've learned a lot during this whole process and while many people might dismiss it all as a fruitless struggle, I've come to realize what this project really means to me. Its a catalog of progress. Its a time capsule or benchmark of skill. Im expecting that by the end of it all, whenever that may be, i'll look back at what i used to think was awesome and think that it looks like crap. But its not something i really want to change. I don't expect any profit from this project at all. I described it to Ryan as a Personal Ambition, one of those..."I've always wanted to do" things. And so as the pages roll out, i do not intend on changing a thing. If anyone reading this has seen the prelude we released about six months ago, they'll notice a great change in style in all aspects of the comic. I've utilized different techniques while Pencilling, Inking, and Coloring each page and probably will continue to incorporate more as i study other artists. Anyways, its 4:16 am on a Saturday night and i can't sleep at all. I think its time i try to go to bed. Here is a sketch out of the ol' sketch book. Enjoy!

Seeing the Light..


It dawned on me the other day, i was doing everything wrong. The reason why i wasnt getting anything done as far as coloring was concerned was because i had no organization. I use layers liberally and since i rarely use any plugins anymore it becomes all the more important to take a few extra seconds here and there to organize them. It used to get really messy...(imagine using 100+ layers without names) anyhow i was able to finish two pages in one day which to me is a big thing and well i'd thought i'd share a part of one which i felt came out pretty well. Comments welcomed as always. Enjoy!

Keeping the Ball Rolling...


In an effort to keep everything in continual motion, i'll be uploading more sketches as the comic progresses. Perhaps previews into whats really going on. Maybe later sid will explain some background as to whats going on so no matter what happens, you all will be aware that this project, as slow moving as it seems, is still very much in action. Meanwhile try to think of something that could make poor little gabby this sad and perhaps you'll figure out why shes such a quiet little girl...Enjoy.

Sneak Peek...


Now that Third year medical school exams are over, the comic process can resume. Only problem is that final years no walk in the park. but still we're making progress. Actually a lot more than we've made before particularly because now im drawing as many pages as i can while trying to read. Anyhow here's a sneak peek of whats to come.
I give you a color test of a panel in chapter 1. Enjoy!
