Whoa.

Random panels from the Teddy Scares Vol.2 story I'm doing at the moment. More of that filthier, grungier coloring style I'm playing with.

San Diego Comicon went extremely well. I've got a lot to talk about, but I think instead of talking about it, I'm just gonna wait until I can show you.

TS Colors.

First attempt at full color with this technique. A lot more muted and dark than I usually go, but I think it fits the book.

Still a few tweaks I want to make to it, but it's heading where I want it to be.

TS Inks.

Testing that ink wash technique on Page 1 of my next Teddy Scares 10 page story.
Same deal as before: Light pencils laid down, then I cover the whole page with Luma brand Amber Yellow ink mixed with water. After it dries, I work out the lineart with black brush and pen, then shadows are dropped in with tan and sepia Copic markers. Highlights are added with a Presto white-out squeeze pen. Maybe a bit low-tech, but I like it. I also pushed around some ink with my fingers here and there just for a little dirtying-up texture.

Not a lotta people know that I have my degree in Painting (what a degree), so it was really fun treating this like a little mini-painting instead of a comic page. I'm definitely gonna be using this technique more.

Now, for the Photoshopping...
