  Cartoon Characters Compromised-Superman loses his keys Art, Cartoon characters compromised, Color!!!, Shop talk, Spandex fetish | (0)

  I recently upgraded to Autodesk's Sketchbook Pro 2010--so good it's from the future! Updated with a few much-needed features (thanks for the ruler, Autodesk), still the best drawing software around, now better. Color from Photoshop.

  Secret Identites Pin-Up: Color Final Art, Color!!!, Comics, Shop talk, Spandex fetish | (0)

  And now, the candy-colored conclusion, painted in Dr. Martin's watercolors. Eagle-eyed viewers may notice that the linework on this drawing isn't the same as the previous posts. That's because I had to redraw the picture every time I repainted. This final version of the pin-up took about three tries before I ended up with something I was halfway satisfied with. This is why I prefer working digitally, because those extra steps can be avoided due to digital's non-destructive nature. If I were a better painter it wouldn't be a problem to begin with, but, like Clint Eastwood ...

  Secret Identities Pin-Up: Inks Art, Comics, Shop talk, Spandex fetish | (0)

  For your enjoyment, the inked page. I've left the background elements un-inked because I intend to paint it in, although I may add a color line for definition.

  Secret Identities Pin-Up: Pencils Art, Comics, Shop talk, Spandex fetish | (0)

  Drawn with a mechanical pencil on 11"x17" Bristol Board.  They're probably loose pencils by today's standards;  I tend to do the final tightening up during the inking stage. I've added an extra character, Hellen Jo's Brazen Raisin, way, waaay up there in the upper right.

  Secret Identities Pin-Up: Digital Rough Art, Comics, Shop talk, Spandex fetish | (0)

  Drawn with trusty Sketchbook, this is the digital rough of my "girl power" contribution to the upcoming Secret Identities  traveling art show.   Since I'm working oldschool--on actual paper!--for the exhibit, I'm going to print this up on a sheet of 11"x17" paper, and trace it onto a bristol board page of the same size.  I'll post scans of the art here as it progresses. Character guide (from left to right):  Karin from Koji Steven Sakai and John Franzese's "Meet Joe"; Candace (Tin Candy) Koh in her mecha, from Jeff Yang's and my "A Day At CostumeCO";  June Park from Jimmy Aquino ...

  Adventures in audio Comics, Oh my wacky job, Sales pitch, Shop talk, Spandex fetish, Theory for free | (0)

  Somehow I was talked into a hideous, rambling, freestyle riff on pop culture, storytelling, comic book trivia and Ice Castles with the always-affable Ted Seko on his IDIOT ENGINE podcast.  It's so nice I had to do it twice!  So if you really want four hours of my dulcet tones, well...

  Secret Identities in stores April 15 Art, Comics, Sales pitch, Shop talk, Spandex fetish | (0)

  To mark the release of Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology next week, here's a preview of some of my artwork for Jeff Yang's story "A Day At CostumeCO". This story was my first experiment to create 100% digital comics art, using Manga Studio 3.  My feel for the digital brushwork wasn't as confident as I would have liked, but I think it's okay for a first attempt. This page, a sample from the "Sidekicks" interstitial, done a month or two after the page above, reflected my growing confidence with the software, and is my favorite page from the project.
