Happy Hallow--err All Saints Day!

preview comic for the upcoming website launching on 1.1.11!

that's a lot of 1's!

Team effort! Dan Ciurczak, Corey Lewis and Myself + our respective comics.

Grimm shall be back at the beginning of the New Year along with some new friends. So consider what I posted earlier to not even be the start. Let's just say I haven't posted anything yet. Pretend like I didn't even draw a comic until the for real for real debut later on, shall we?

Biter

Paul Pope quickie bite as I take a break from other work. Compelled to do so after reading how to make my tablet settings not completely retarded (here)

I almost love the tonal studies more than the actual line art.

I worked on this! Sunday, March 7th at 7am (way too early) will be the premiere of this thing that I worked on with a lot of cool friends.

show secrets: the board artists wrote almost everything. we saw the scripts, turned our noses up at em and chucked em out onto Ventura boulevard where their wretched poisonous pap couldn't hurt innocent children. Then we inserted slapstick, action and acting where there would otherwise be talking heads. We did a lot of work. a LOT of work. Perhaps more so than would've gone into, say, family guy and got paid beans. But I have faith that this show will kick some ass.

not bad for a ragtag bunch of loopy college kids and old crusty veterans.

There are definitely worse shows you could watch, right?

TiVo it if you can't wake up early enough.

I still draw

all the time actually. getting more and more into 40's style construction. Even messing with rubberhose stuff.

Strip it Down

tore the clunker down and built it anew... Trying to put the story first and make the concepts for for that, instead of the other way around where I found myself constantly painting myself into a corner.

The Synopsis: Survivors in a post-zombie world encounter a strange and possibly psychotic kid claiming to be the human incarnation of the grimm reaper.

Here are some intial designs from previous versions of the story...

Grimm (Old concepts): After thinking about his origins and shaping his personality based on the history I gave him, he turned out to be far different than my first designs where I focused purely on making hims superficially "interesting" looking. Now I've incorporated more of the fact that he's more than a little "off" and has basically been surviving on his own in the midst of a zombie infested city.

Female Protagonist (Jessica, for now): After being just a generic female counterpart to Grimm who's sole purpose was to give Grimm a reason to fight zombies, I also started to develop her a bit more. Making her more pragmatic, disciplined and part of a group that work together, not to kill zombies, but to simply coexist and evade them. Took a cue from the fact that I see people riding 'fixies' all the time out here and tried to work in a system where they use bicycles to covertly travel about the city quickly to forage for necessary goods. Liberties are taken, of course.

Here are some sketches of what I'm leaning toward now.

uh yeah, work in progress.

Grimm

comics maybe?

Draggin' my balls.

apologies for the lame pun.
