Second Comic

Right after I hooked up with X things fell apart for him and the association he was dealing with. As such, the next work he asked for was meant as a way of expressing the changes that were occuring, and challenges that he was dealing with (and overcoming).

Look at this, only 3 panels!

This was back when I was trying to figure out what kind of style to work in. I also needed some serious training in Indian culture. Who knew it would take me damn near a year to figure out how to draw braids in a way that didn't look like ass? I think X actually wrote me about this comic to give me a little culturization. Indians = tight braids. Loose braids = negative implications. Totally my bad, hopefully better now.

Also, in posting this I noticed that X did a lot more writing to fill space back then. 

First Work - The Buffalo Jump

Over the next couple of days I'll post all of the work that I've done for X over at Y. Ideally I recommend you check out his site here to see these pieces in context, and along with the schedules and other related materials. I'm not involved in any of that work though, so I don't want to be claiming it on this site.

To start I'll post the very first work I did for him.














This was the only time I had the chance to do a cover to go along with the comic. Back then things were much simpler, 7 panels, 1/2 a page, nice and easy. I was actually pretty pleased with this piece when I turned it in. Looking back at it now I feel like I could pull of something a lot more impressive, but it was a good start.

Outta Sight

Checked in with X over at Y and he ok'd my posting the comic work I do for him here. These pieces are usually month long collaborations that start with X sending me a script. I take the script and turn it into a rough outline/layout of what I have planned (panel layouts, page layouts etc). Once that's ok'd I dive into the art, penciling/sketching it to begin with, and then finishing it in Corel Painter. X finishes things off by lettering the piece and then posting it on his site.

In the future I'll try to round up copies of all the work that I've done for him, but I'll start with
the most recent (it also happens to be one of my favs).

SUPER NDN!

Another quick bit of sketching. I think the idea is pretty obvious.

Spindians! (Space Indians rock)

Ripped this off for Jason for the cover of this months comic. Hopefully he can figure out a way to make use of it (Apparently there are some space issues).














Started this as a sketch in the midst of my Cultural Anthro class. Brought it home and finished if off in Corel.

Might go back in to fix up the shoulder, but otherwise I'm pretty pleased with it.
