Here's DC Universe Presents #6, Challengers of the Unknown. Is it, "DC Universe Presents #6 Challengers of the Unknown" or if it's "DC Universe Presents: Challengers of the Unknown #6"? I dunno...
This was a fun project while it lasted. Why? Because I got to work with Jerry Ordway, inking over his pencils. Before I even started working in comics, I was a huge fan of his work. Taking it a little further, I was a fan of his artwork before I even knew the name behind it. And now, I've gotten to work with him. Even if it's just for a few pages, it still awesome!

| All template work with the Plane. Shoot, everything mechanical is all done with templates. Everything organic, by hand. Brushes, nibs and pens. |

| Look at these faces! Man... I got to ink over Jerry Ordway. Hot Damn! |
 |
| Tapering lines. Panel 3 where he's video recording with the lights and all, that was a nice challenge mainly because those tapered lines and light source was coming in from all over the place. I wanted to give these tapered lines a sharp tip both on the white and in the blacks. |

| Jerry's a great penciller, all I needed to do was follow the lines that he drew. I didn't for the larger splash panel with all the mountains textures. At first, I was inking them in meticulously as how Jerry pencilled them. Then for some reason, I started to automatically do textures for the mountain. Scribbling and noodling in the blacks, then pulling out the white-out to scribble and noodle in the whites above the blacks. Years of inking makes you do funny things sometimes. Man... I got to ink Jerry Ordway! |
