ULTIMATE COMICS X-MEN #7

Here's Ultimate Comics X-Men #7 with my inks over Carlo Barberi's pencils.

The issue features Quicksolver.  That last panel was all hand inked.  No photoshop shortcut for me.  That's quicksilver running on the LEFT side of the page.

Now he's on the RIGHT!

Up HIGH!

Down LOW!

In your FACE!

Magneto says "stop running around and causing trouble."  Then Quicksilver got sad.

FRANKENSTEIN, AGENT OF S.H.A.D.E. #9

Comps for Frankenstein, Agent of SHADE #9.  I only inked the cover for this issue. 

Here's my inks in Black & White

Originally, DC Comics was going to add an Animal Man inset into the cover.

Then they wanted Animal Man to get a haircut.  But no matter, none of them were used for the cover anyway.

SUPERMAN GROUNDED trade paperback

Here's a trade paperback DC Comics sent me.

Usually, publishers will collect a series a smaller comics and release them as a Hardcover, such as the one I posted here.  After a few months, the same material will be published in a trade paperback, or softcover, format as pictured above.  Anything after this process will be printed again as a trade paperback re-print.  The printing edition would be listed in the book.

JIM HENSON’S TALE OF SAND hardcover

Here's some inking work I've done for Archaia... Jim Henson's Tale of Sand.  Fun project to work on since it has Jim Henson's name attached to it.  The same creator who gave us Sesame Street. the Muppets, and so much more.  The story was discovered in the archives of the Jim Henson company.  Here's a picture of the hardcover.

Here are some of the pages with my inks over Ramón Pérez's pencils.

Car Dealership

Talking to a Car Salesman.  Always a fun thing to do.

Football players in horses in panel 2.  Wonder if they play for the Cowboys.  :)

Here's the sample page I did for Archaia to get the gig.

This book has made quite a few achievements.  You can read more about it here.

GRIFTER VOLUME. 1: MOST WANTED trade paperback

Here's a trade paperback comp for Grifter Volume 1: Most Wanted.

DC Comics still sends a trade paperback for working only on two pages.  Here's one of  the pages I've posted here.  And this one below is the other page. 

Where's the guns in panel 1?  When I was done with the inks, I sent it back to penciller, Scott Clark, and he added them in digitally.

DC Comic's blurb about the book here.

GOTHAM CITY SIRENS: STRANGE FRUIT, trade paperback

Gotham City Sirens: Strange Fruit trade paperback from DC Comics.

Here are some pages from the book with my inks over Andres Guinaldo's pencils.

Earthquake.  Or Earth crack!

Used Photoshop to stat panel 2 from panel one.  Then added the extra figure.

For some reason, the guy on the phone in the last panel reminds me of the movie, MATRIX.  Maybe it's the glasses.

Rock and Roll!

INFINITE CRISIS OMNIBUS

Haven't posted in a while because I was so busy. Not so much because of comic book work, more so because I've moved to a different home and studio. Packing stuff up, moving to a new location, and unpacking. Not everything is unpacked. The other day, I was looking for my portfolio bag so I could carry some artwork out of the house. Couldn't find the portfolio bag. Before I moved, my studio was already a mess. But I knew where everything was. After the move, things were just placed everywhere in boxes. I good tip I can give is, if you ever plan on moving, make sure you label all your boxes and label what room they go into. Instead of just putting everything into your new home randomly, think about where you want things to be before you move it into a new place. Have all that done during the move, as supposed to rearranging things later on creating more work for yourself. It'll make life easier after the move. Trust me. It was a total crisis. Speaking of Crisis, here's a comp I got from DC Comics. Infinite Crisis Omnibus.

I've done some work on some crisis book and this was the comp that was sent to me. A hefty $150.00 book! More info here.

DEADPOOL #50

Comps for Deadpool #50 with my inks over Carlo Barberi's pencils.  

Below are some of the pages for the issue. 

Here are some of the Ads I found online this book.  Utilizing a lot of the art Carlo and I did for the issue.

All those characters appears in this double sized issue.  So that was fun to work on.

This was my last issue working on Deadpool.  Maybe one of these days, I'll get to work on Deadpool again.  He was one of the first characters I was able to work on when I started working in comics.  It was like goofing around with a old friend.

Goofing around with Spawn

Just a little something I did for fun inking over Jin Han's pencils over Blue Line.  I wanted to see what I can do with different styles of inks.  Pointy, loopy, sharp, dull and flat.  

After I was done, I gave it away.  This one went to Australia.

WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN ALPHA & OMEGA #2

Copies of Wolverine and the X-Men Alpha & Omage #2 with my inks over a few pages of Mark Brooks pencils.

With the pencil pages I was working on, Mark Brooks were doing it all digital.

When I got a hold of it, It was traditional hand inks with a bit of digital work to maintain the textures Mark wanted.

The character above in panel 3 was a bit confusing to ink.  She had this exo-suit where I had to halo (white line separating two black area) it out.  Then her person also had halos.  I'm one of those inkers who like to ink around the halos, as supposed to using white ink on top of blacks.  I know it's a bit more work, but I'm nutty that way.

Colors by Andres Mossa

It turned out okay with the colors as you can see above.  I know halos sometimes confuses the colorists as to what color they should add into the halos and they need to be more careful with them.  For example, in panel two, the tip of the index finger didn't have the white halo and it falls back into the background colors.

Marvel Comic's plug.
