Whew! It has been a crazy and long journey to finish Nightstik #4. It was originally supposed to be a short story about Nightstik’s powers. It grew into something else entirely! I’d like to thank the dozens of people who are not related to me for sticking with my comic and all of the support […]
Page 23 is a return to more traditional techniques. The process involved scanning in drawings of Mr. Fix into Manga Studio. Next, I roughed in Jaguar and changed the layer color to blue. From there, I tightened up the pencils and backgrounds and printed it out on 11×17 Bristol Boards in non-photo blue. I finished […]
Well, page 22 is very late with all the usual excuses (life, work, etc.) However, I returned to traditional tools with this one. When I attended Emerald City Comic Con a few weeks ago, I noticed that there was an artist that preferred to do all his breakdowns digitally, print, and then finish by hand. […]
This page was supposed to be a lot simpler than it ended up being. But here it is for my faithful 12 readers! Enjoy! Toby Dycus
Back in 2002, I actually took the time to sketch out Nightstik’s studio apartment. This two-page spread is based on that rough sketch. It was incredibly tough to draw! Who knew a stove could take so long? The idea I’m trying to convey here is that Nightstik’s place is SMALL. He has no secret hideout. […]
Page 18! The plot thickens…How does Bob know Mr. Fix?!
What was supposed to be a short little piece about Nightstik’s powers has morphed into a tale of intrigue! How does Arnold seem to know what he does? How does he know Bob? Where did Bob come from? What did Arnold slip Bob? Keep coming back and find out! Enjoy!
Happy holidays and all that! This page was a bear to do. Recently, I re-read The Killing Joke by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland. For those of you that haven’t read it, it is a master class in story telling and art. Anyway, I felt inspired to really up my game and get a more […]
The obligatory two-page spread! Can even Nightstik take down this behemoth? Tune in next week and find out! In a slightly unrelated rant, I went and saw Rogue One this weekend. No spoilers here, just an observation. Everyone in the Star Wars Universe is a shitty parent and/or really bad at relationships. Allow me to […]
Welcome all 12 people still reading not directly related to me! I had never drawn a bar brawl. My partner in crime introduced the talking monkey into the situation and suggested the poop throw. Not only that, he contributed art for 3 of the five panels, so that garners him an art and story credit. […]
