Lovely Textured Beginnings

I know, I know. Move on to other things!
I will! Soon!

It's A Start

I ran out of time this morning before I could really flesh out a decent color job. My goal will be to make it read a bit better, and clean things up in general. For now, I will probably put the penciled version in the corner of my upcoming concepts. Speaking of that...

Thanks to everyone who voted in the "What Theme Should He Choose" poll! It looks as if next week I will start out re-imagining the "Wonderful Wizard of Oz" story with a "Steampunk" theme! It may be slow going, but I promise to stick with it until we have a cast of characters. (I may take a Christmas break if things go that long.) I also understand that many many things have been done as "Steampunk" so I will do my best to bring something new to the table.

Have a great weekend, and thanks again!

Many Moving Parts

I have a lot of work to do if I want this to actually be readable, but for now it is at least fun.

This Baby Has Seen Some Action

Hey! It has been a while! Thanks to a nasty flu bug, I have been knocked out for a few days. Being sick is no fun at all let me tell you. Blech. I still have the sniffles, but I think I am slowly winning the health war.

This is a colored version of "The Sky Breakers" logo that I had shown you before. I tried to do this in a style similar to what might have actually been painted on the side of a plane. I will eventually do a fully painted version for other uses, but my biggest goal for the main logo was to go simple and "hand painted." As I was reading about WW2 nose art, I discovered that the logos were usually either painted by the pilot himself or a member of the group who had been singled out as the "Artist" of the group.

The story is progressing well and I hope to start thumbnailing pages soon. I will also be fleshing out the main characters quite a bit, and hope to share some of that with you.

Thanks for looking!

Sky Breakers Logo

Making a bit of progress on the first logo. Still working rough. I needed something that looked like WW2 bomber nose art, and could possibly be used for that purpose in the story. I will probably do at least two styles of color on this, as well as a more "designy" version that would be better at small sizes.

Thanks to everyone who has posted here on the blog or sent me an email regarding this new story project. Your encouragement goes a long way! I greatly appreciate it.
