just an update to let everyone know that the I HATE Gallant Girl trade paper back is now out and in your local stores. you can also order it on amazon and barnes and noble! the above page is from the All Girl Comics portion of the trade, i thought you might enjoy the line art before the color art.

new update/old art

just 3 quick panels i was whipping up for practice...it's supposed to be blue thunder and gallant girl in a golden age era story...hey, i was trying to write and draw all at the same time...kind of like walking and chewing gum!

wow.

Holy crap it's been a long damn time since I've uploaded anything to this blog. I'm such a bad parent....Anyway, I thought I would reward the 2 people who ever looked at this thing with a few newish pieces...the pages are from the June 27th released ALL GIRL COMICS published by Shadowline. I thought it might be cool to show the inked up/pre-colored artwork. The other drawings are from a project Jeff Stevenson and I are trying to get off the ground...maybe I'll post up some more details later. Thanks for sticking with me.

No Watchie The Watchmen Yet

exporty — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 05:08:28 +0000

So, this Watchmen screenwriter sent out an open letter for people to watch the movie again. Even though I loved the comic book, I haven’t gone out to see it yet. I was eager to check it out as the release date drew nearer, but then I did a crazy thing… I re-read the story. And I remembered what I loved about it so much.

The best thing about Watchmen (the comic) for me was its magical quality of discovery. When I first read it, it took me a long time to get through the story. I would read and read and then I’d discover something. It would always be one of those little eureka moments where you see a connection in the story and flip back through the pages… and the story… the world of The Watchmen expands in your mind’s eye. And as I read that previous sequence again with my new insight, it would change right before my eyes.

The power those little moments held… how they could change other parts of the story so drastically… was enthralling. I’m sure the movie will have stunning effects and capture some of the more powerful moments of the comic, but I don’t think it can capture that kind of magic. And even if it could, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it onscreen the same way I could in print. Maybe rewinding the DVD… nah, probably still not the same.

So, I’m still on the fence about going to see it. I might have to go just to keep up my comic book geek cred. Or I could just re-read the actual comic book again.

PICK IT UP!

The Site Lives Again!

Jeffery Stevenson — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 09:06:05 +0000

After many, many (many) months, I finally chained myself to the keyboard and worked on fixing the outstanding problems we’ve been having with this blog. Upgraded server software, server moves, and old Wordpress and plugin software… lots of little things that were causing lots of problems whenever we’d try to post something.

But it looks like I got most of the items on my list fixed tonight. Yay! That means I can start rambling out here again on a regular basis. Double yay!

the end is nigh…

Seth Damoose — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 18:35:00 +0000

Seth Damoose — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 22:28:00 +0000

get your copy and enjoy it, stayed tuned true believers you're going to
really like #2 and #3. this drawing was something i did this morning to
get the old creative juices flowing before diving into the work. for
whatever reason i decided to go the old fashioned way with this one. pencil,
ink, and marker on good old bristol sketch card. i draw these things up and
sell them at shows, or requests, if anyone is interested. more soon.

becoming more efficient.

...here is a random page from issue #2 of
I HATE Gallant Girl, drawn by me, and colored
by the wonderful Kanila Tripp. It's not final, but it
sure is pretty to look at.

I Hate Galaxy Girl

Seth Damoose — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 16:43:00 +0000

click the images, and you should get a bigger view...
...well alright.
since the 3 page preview has been published in the August issue of Previews magazine, and the 5 page preview posted on the web, i figured it's about time i threw the first 5 completed pages on this little bloggity spot. everyone needs to run, not walk to their comic book retailer and have loads of copies ordered for the November 12 debut of "I HATE Galaxy Girl" from Shadowline and Image Comics....

It’s Galaxy Girl I Hate!!!

Seth Damoose — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:55:00 +0000

Well, I'll tell ya!

I HATE GALAXY GIRL, by Kat Cahill, a runner-up in the contest, is the first book to debut, starting this November!

PRESS RELEASE - SHADOWLINE HATES GALAXY GIRL THIS NOVEMBER!
Image Comics Shadowline launches I HATE GALAXY GIRL this November!

25 August 2008 (Berkeley, CA) - Every underdog gets their day this November as newcomer Kat Cahill and BRAT-HALLA's Seth Damoose take a stand in Shadowline's newest three issue superhero mini-series, I HATE GALAXY GIRL!

"While I HATE GALAXY GIRL was originally Kat Cahill's runner-up for our 'Who Wants To Create a Super Heroine Contest', Shadowline Editor Kris Simon and I loved the concept so much we had to put it on the fast track to becoming its own series," Shadowline Publisher Jim Valentino said. "When Kat saw Seth's upcoming work on BRAT-HALLA, she knew he was the perfect artist to capture the mood she was going for. We really can't help but agree!"

Based on skill alone, Renee Tempete should be the new Galaxy Girl. Instead, a buxom blonde with no actual powers holds the title. As events unfold, Renee struggles not only against monsters, criminals and giant robots, but also a society that desperately wants to keep her in her place.

Cahill added, "The core of I HATE GALAXY GIRL is Renee finding the self-confidence to achieve her dreams despite constantly being told to give up. The experience is something I think just about anybody can relate to while the overall story is still a heck of a lot of fun!"

I HATE GALAXY GIRL #1 (SEP082263), a 32-page full color mini-series for $3.50, will be available in-stores November 12th.

sketchy business…

Seth Damoose — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 19:42:00 +0000

i thought i should throw this up here as well...i drew this up as a "break" last night...
the first issue is coming along nicely, i've got pages 1-13 done along with the cover, and up to page 8 is already colored up
real purdy by Kanilla Tripp. as soon as i get the ok to post up some preview pages, i will. i'll also update with the previews order codes as soon as i can get them.
es chido.

i'm an idiot. i should have posted this promo that debuted at san diego....

I Hate Galaxy Girl

Seth Damoose — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 15:02:00 +0000

...that's the name of the comic from Images Shadowline, that I'm working on. I'll have order codes for previews when they're available next month. Issue 1 will be on the shelf November 12. It's slated to be a 3 issue series, unless sales are so good we can
keep going. The story is written and created by Kat Cahill, a wonderfully talented
young woman whom I'm thrilled to be working with. Kanilla Tripp is providing the colors, and Jason Hanley is lettering...I couldn't be in better company for my full issue(s) debut. The above sketch is our main character Renee. I'll throw up some
sample pages when it's ok to do so....stay tuned true believers, the show's just getting started...

New project

Seth Damoose — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:59:00 +0000

...seeing as these have already been posted on the 'net, i thought it would be cool to
showcase them here as well. i'm not going to go into any details, but be on the look out
for more concept sketches in the future, and printed books early next year.

Phrases to Taunt the Universe

exporty — Sat, 31 May 2008 07:06:43 +0000

You might have been there before. A situation where you needed to trust someone else to keep you from dying or worse. You’re already a bit nervous about putting your life in another person’s hands when you hear that dreaded phrase. “Trust me.” They just had to go use one of those universal taunts, and as you can imagine, the universe doesn’t like getting called out like that.

But that isn’t the only phrase that’ll rub the universe the wrong way. You have such classics as “At least things can’t get worse.” and “This plan is foolproof.” These phrases will put you on the universe’s radar, and when you’re in its sight, BAM!

So… just be careful what you say. The universe is listening.

memorial day…

Seth Damoose — Mon, 26 May 2008 13:22:00 +0000

it's been a while since i posted anything, so i thought i should put up at least two things i've done rather recently.
bomb queen, inked with pitt pens and colored with photoshop, and an editor girl done all digital.
