Zuda fun


Been putting in a lot of time working on my next Zuda submission. I actually already have one in the can to them two weeks ago. Of course I think that will mean it will take another 1.5 months to hear anything at the earliest. Which gives me plenty of time to work on the next submission. I am not sure if it will make it in. It has a very rough feel about it and it has been posted elsewhere already. I dont know how Zuda feels about that sort of thing. Guess I will find out.

For my next submission I thought of the title as a joke, but the more I work on the project the more excited I get about it. I don't want to give anything away till it is accepted or not. But it is a futuristic, apocolyptic adventrure.

I have the script written, thumbnails, and character design complete. The only thing I have left to do is location design, some bug studies and actually drawing the pages.

Also for those fans of the rejects, I haven't forgotten. I've thumbnailed up to page...crap I forget. but I got a few in the bag. I may go back to digital for this since it will be much quicker and cheaper on supplies. The image is page 9 of The Rejects done in traditional ink.

Umbrella Academy - Space Boy



I really dig The Umbrella Academy...and not just cause that one dude from my chem wrote it.

It is a really interesting story. I mean Space Boy had his head attached to an alien gorilla body. It can't really get any cooler then that. So go read it.

You can find me on deviant and twitter. So check out my stuff and I will be happy to check out your stuff. It will be like playing doctor.

Yeah Blog

First blog.

I am an aspiring comic book artist. I would say I have an indie, america-manga type style.

You can check out some of my artwork at http://slidestudios.deviantart.com/. I was also in last month's Zuda contest. I placed 5th with the Rejects.

If you don't know what Zuda is then go check it out at http://www.zudacomics.com/. It has free online comics. There is also a monthly contest which allows the winner to publish their comic on Zuda's site.
