Still Kickin'

Just a quick blurb to let you know that things are still alive and kicking here at Death By Comics.  Things are changing in the background and will soon be evidenced here.  I can't say to much at the moment, but keep an eye out for more posts here.  Talk to you soon!

Sketch Two: Jaimie

This is a sketch of the youngest brother from the story.  His name is Jaimie.

This is pretty close to my vision of Jaimie with one crucial exception.  Jaimie is a good bit younger and skinnier than what we see here...so there is still some more work to do.

We got two more main characters sketches in the story that I can show...and one that I can't (bwa ha ha ha!).  Coming Soon...

Take Two: Sketch One

Here is a sketch of the Father from Softly Tenderly story.

I'm not completely satisfied with this one , but it's a start. He has the hair I was trying to achieve, but his facial features are a little off from what I was aiming for. His demeanor is correct and generally his body shape, but it definitely needs fine tuning.

There are more character sketches coming soon.

Not Necessarily Josh and Jesse...

This isn't something that Josh and I have done together, but it is at least comics and indie comics related. I've done a review of H.O.P.E. Tales of the Nuclear Family on my comics art blog, Wind of the Gods. Please check it out here and support these other aspiring creators.

The Return

My move is complete now and I almost have everything set up in my new place.  What a long few months it has been!  I hope that everyone will take a few minutes to go check out the current Hallowscream issue.  :-)  Now that I am getting settled in, watch for fresh new posts by the beginning of the year as the wheels of progress begin moving again. (fingers crossed)

week 7: Spoken Too Soon...

Due to my spiraling financial situation, I am going to have to move.  It turns my stomach to say this, but I am not going to finish Softly Tenderly for this years Hallowscream issue.

I'm not stopping my work, the story will be finished, just nowhere near as soon as I would like.  Now just isn't the time I guess.  This whole year my life has been stair stepping down into the mud, but since July it has been an extra slippery patch.  I've been working triage as much as I can, but it has become obvious that there will be no forward progress for me this year when I cannot even hold my ground.  So it goes...

I won't be stopping by any means, but I suspect that it will be a month or more before I have anything new to report.  I may be overestimating there.  I'm going to hold off on anymore promises.  I no longer no what my future holds.  I hate moving and I hate for my personal rituals to be disrupted.  There is no way around it though.  Check back in a month or three and hopefully I will have positive news.

Week 6: Just when I thought...

I had planned this post to be a regret that I was going to be unable to complete Softly Tenderly in time for the Hallowscream, but I discovered this week that the final deadline is October 23rd.  This changes things a bit.  I've been thrown WAY off track with the tumultuous events of this past summer and have struggled to get back to where I need to be.  This adds a good bit of fuel to my fire.  There is indeed hope.  :-)
