A new piece I did, working for the first time in a long time, using an ink wash with brush line work. These are the work in progress photos I took while painting. The high res version is here, in the Illustration section of my website.

Another frame from my short comic I’m working on. Obviously in the final there will be text, but for now just guache and ink images.

A frame from a submission for an anthology I’m working on. Gouache and Ink. This piece is complimentary to the Lighthouse Keeper, connected by similar themes and characters.

Work in progress

I’ve decided that the best way to prepare for creting a comic is to do examples of an action sequence, a sequence with a lot of diologue, and a sequence with a lot of scenery. So far, I’ve finished two pages from the action sequence. The rest will hopefully be up shortly!

These pages are as of now unfinished, but I thought I’d put them up.

Mini-Comic

colin0 — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 21:38:01 +0000

This is the first of hopefully many mini comics, each a sort of a prelude and a preview for the main comic I hope to create. This, the first is called Northmen, and focuses on the mysterious tribe that habits the Northern Plateau, across the Endless Mountains. Next week you will be able to buy your very own copy, if you can make it to Big Brain Comics in Minneapolis! Read it in a more different way here at Manolosanctis.com the French comics website.

Mini-Comics

I’ve decided that as I work on the “Secret Project” finalizing the character, script and story, I am going to work on a series of one page mini-comics that will inform the larger story. The idea is that many of these shorts will make no sense now, but as one reads the larger story these short comics will build off of the story, adding to the overall story. These mini-comics will not be necessary for understanding the larger story, only build upon it and inform it later.

So do not be confused, all will make sense in time.

Creatures and people
