Rats and Crap

Hey folks!

It's been a few days since I posted something on the blog, this past week has been horrendously busy. I'm on another job hunt because I have to find something else because my hours have been cut again. Sorry to say that, but that's actually what's going on. Gotta bring that bread to the table. As long as I stay optimistic enough, I think I shall be fine.

Man do I got some upcoming stuff in the works! Collabs, prints, and all other type of good things to come. :) It shall be a good year, I reck'.

Yes, indeedy, Rat Rage is full speed ahead! ^That's my lil' Japanese mock-up logo, I just couldn't help myself. XD

I'm glad to say that production for Rat Rage is finally starting. I'm going to try and give myself a page-a-day quota so I can have something to show. It will be a 200+ pg. Original Graphic Novel, may I remind you. To build up some hype again, I recently did a print featuring Rai and Nini escaping danger. I will do a few more prints for this year, just to have solely as a hype builder and original content.

Here's a few process shots for the print.

1. Thumbnail Sketch

2. Lineart

3. Lineart Cleaned

4. Rai and Nini flatted and toned; BG buildup

5. Everything flatted, toned, and BG almost complete

6. Finishing touches, atmosphere effects, and textures applied.

I would also like to re-remind people that the way this is colored will be in the same manner as how the book will look! 

Other than that, Rob out!

It's Been a While!

What's up folks - sorry for not keeping this place alive - It's hard to run a daily blog, especially with this wonderful and busy summer I've had as far as conventions go. :)

I need to get back on the bandwag', so here's some stuff I did yesterday between commission work.

It's just some low resolution Photoshop sketches. I've found these to be rather fun and relaxing, rather than the constant articulate work I do. So you shall see these more often- they're kinda like Oekakis, but less work.

Other than that, I will try to have more news coming. So far, you guys will be expecting an epic from me known as Rat Rage, where these two lovely mice gals are from- I'm talkin' an 80+ page OGN on the way. More news to come from that.... Meanwhile, check out the lineart stages of these first four pages. Until next time, folks!
