Wow! What can I say after nearly three years on this project? I want to say I got the script in late 2012 from Josh. Three years for issue two is warp speed when I think of the 25 plus year odyssey that issue one was. Being this is the end of issue 2, I […]
Here we see the aftermath of the epic battle between Needles and Nightstik. Of course, Needles wasn’t the real threat! He is a mere pawn in a larger game. How will that game unfold? Well, I’m a little curious about that myself… One more page to go! Be here next week for the thrilling revelation!
This page was actually drawn last spring. It was an interesting process, and it represents one of my first attempts to do everything digitally. It has many faults, one of which is that I was still figuring out tones when I did it. This page also makes use of photo references. Specifically, Andrew Cook and […]
We are getting close! Nightstik #2 is drawing to a close. Originally the borders on these panels were straight and well defined. As usual, Stephen gave me a great idea to blur the lines around Needles. What I loved about this effect is that the reader gets a sense that poor Needles really had his […]
Happy Halloween! Confession Time Part 2: I ABSOLUTELY HATED drawing this page. The story was simple enough. Needles had just been clocked and the story called for Nightstik to throw the rest of his broken club at Needles and then scoop up Arnold for a hasty retreat. I must have drawn this page 3 or […]
Page 19 is loosely based on a sketch by Stephen Prescott that I scanned in and drew over. Nightstik looks a little TOO GOOD in the top panel, but I have a deadline to meet! Enjoy! Be back here next week for page 20! Only FIVE more pages and issue 2 is officially in the […]
Someone recently asked me why I draw comics. This is part of a larger question as to why artists create art at all. Stephen King once famously said that he, “has no choice.” I guess I would agree with that sentiment. I draw comics because when I am working on my art I am free […]
Page 17 features both traditional and digital techniques. Here I am inking Stephen Prescott’s pencils with both brush and pen and a few screen tones. It is hard to believe that when I started publishing back on Tumblr that I am already on page 17 of Nightstik #2. I have been impressed with my ability […]
This page is a hybrid of traditional and digital techniques. I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that the gorgeous inking of the figures is the work of Stephen Prescott with a few tones added by me. One would think that the splash page (a single large illustration) would have been a simple […]
HTTP Error you are the devil! Somehow, I found a way around it. I’m not sure what I did, but I managed to set the featured image in a round about way. Well, I hope this thing goes up. It was quite a struggle to get this page even half-way publishable. I think it turned […]
