Interestingly, this page is pretty suggestive, despite the fact that there are no explicit images on the page. I altered the dialogue just a bit as the writer was far more suggestive. I’ve always felt it was best to let the audience make the connection. Does it work here? Who can say? Ah! The power […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’ve had some technology issues lately. I’ve been hit with the dreaded HTTP Error. I guess this means somewhere in the process, the internet doesn’t like some of my files. Given what I’ve done to some of them over the years, I’m not surprised that a few of them are a little funky. So here […]
I am pretty happy with this page even if it’s a scene out of pretty much any comic book. For some reason, our heroes seem to hang out on rooftops quite a bit. The other ubiquitous setting for heroes is the alley. I am sure there is a symbolic meaning for this, but I suspect […]
This page tells the story, but I think I overworked it. When I’m unsure about how to render a page, I tend to get really “heavy” with cross hatching. This is probably done subconsciously or intentionally to cover up my lack of skill at rendering everyday objects. Still, it passes my test for whether it […]
I don’t often toot my own horn, but this page turned out pretty nice. Story by Josh Nelson and art by myself. From time to time, Stephen would be engaged in something else and I’d be left to do the page myself. While this makes for an uneven product from time to time…well…I actually don’t […]
