SOME NEWS AND PG 11 INKS

i have decided to hold off on printing the book for the sandy con this year.

bummer i know, but i think it will benifit from being printed in color rather than flat black and whites. i would have drawn it in a completly differant manner if that was the plan, so im sticking to coloring this one shot while i start the real series!
so dont fret, anyone out there who cares. the book will still be printed and for sale as a hard copy, you'll just have to make due with the cbr file for a bit longer is all :)

in other news, a good friend of mine has made the DRH mast head into an animated gif that im looking forward to posting soon (im too retarded to figure out how to post it myself at the moment, ill get to it tonight) so keep an eye out for that!

also, at the top left of the page, i have made a donate button.
if you are so kind as to donate anything, make sure you send me your address as well so that i can send you a personal gift in return \m/
munsterburns@yahoo.com
ill be posting a shop with prints as soon as i can figure out how.
rock the fuck on,

PAGE 6 INKS

couldnt wait.
had to do it.
i sleep now.

GRAAGH!! I AM PENCIL GOD!!

fair warning if this post makes no sense, cause my brain is FRIED!
i just did all the pencils for pages 6 - 13 this after noon.
i finaly got a day off from my night job. (were i write the script for the series mind you)
so i decided to sit down and have the fuck at it.

figured i might as well ink pg 13 while i had the groove.
cant wait to finish this book up so i can start the real series!!

ive written 24 - 21 page issues so far. so thats about 500 pages :)
so far i have 4 graphic novels ready to go.
3 months of solitude actually turned out to be good for me! ahahahah
rock the fuck on! \m/

PG 5 COLORS

couldnt be bothered putting in the text at the bottem of the page. ill do that when i do the lettering.

im gonna go watch murder she wrote.

PG 5 WIP PART 2

decided to change the third panel,
way too many mid shots going on.
plus i wanted to make the title of the pulp she's reading easier to see.
been slack with this page today... i tell yah.
my favorite bar is being "renovated"..
im too upset to work.
cant be bothered writing about it again.

PG 5 WIP

holy hell, did you know faith no more got back together?
you tube has eaten my bandwidth to a nub tonight...
anyways,
ive finished the story arc for the first series.
its going to be 6 - 20 page issues now.
im actually very happy with the direction the series is taking now that im home from perth.
my minds alot clearer these days and the story is just falling into place every time i sit down to write.
theres something about a town that closes at 3pm that just agravates the hell of yah i guess.
meh, back to work.

prob add some textures to page 5, dunno.
6 will be done tomorrow, i finished the final draft of the first book tonight, whittled it down to 21 pages. ill start the minute i finish this one shot.
as i stated way back, im going to start up a store / donate page soon. im going to do a limited series of posters of each character too. prob have it up and running by the end of the week.
rock.

tonight's work play list:

the plugz
butthole surfers
cop shoot cop
elaysian feilds
alice in chains
queen (shut up)
ramones

and the season final of supernatural.

christ its good to be home hahaah \m/

JUST A TEST

NOT the best drawing ive ever done, ill admit. but i was just testing an idea for now.
im no sam kieth, i know....

just playing around dont mind me.
more pages finished tomorrow \m/

COLOR TEST

i REFUSE to post the rest of this picture, as it is the single worst thing i have ever drawn ever.
but i figured i should post some of it as i am trying a new color technique.

the idea is to do a low detail watercolor painting for each pic instead of a diluted ink wash.
this was my first test tonight.

im going to have another go tomorrow and post the whole pic.
as i was just dicking around, the drawing just looks like a spazzy cousin it.

so just look at the color textures at the bottem.
ooooh.
i think i may reserve it for special pages / panels ala sam kieth.
not sure yet...
what do you think?

PG 2 HALF ASSED STEP BY STEP

im hoping at some point to post a video of how i do a page, but for now, heres a kind of step by step.
first is pencils (after about 12 thumbnails) then inks, then i do a layer of textures, which is a wash of diluted inks i do over a light table with a print out of my inks. that way i can add it in as a layer in photoshop and give the page some extra kick. then its off to color on the cintiq.
i think ill post a more in depth step by step with page 5... anyways. heres the finished version of page 2 \m/

PG 4 PROGRESS

"got the number thirteen, tattooed on my neck, when the ink starts to itch, black gone turn to red..."


with this page, i just up and penciled on cintiq.
printed it off and used the light table to ink. then modified my fuck ups on the cintiq again.
its 'mixed media' (thats art wanker for more than one style).
i love digital, its so easy (ctrl z). but i love me my inks.
iiiiiiiiiink. (zombie shuffle.)

ON A ROLL

little five points never looked so safe in my opinion \m/

ANOTHER BOY AND HIS DOG PAGE 1

and it has begun.

page 1 of the 20 page one shot i will be doing for this series.

this story will be titled:
ANOTHER BOY AND HIS DOG.
(if you got that pun, your just as high on the geek totem poll as me. so dont you judge me, fucker.)

all in all, this took me about 5 hours, so i think a page a day should be plauseable at this point.
im haveing such a fucking blast doing my own book! i never really have been one for rules, so being set free to do whatever the fuck i want is kind of liberating, i tell yah...
on the down side, dont think ill have it ready for the sandy con, but, hell, when im done, ill be posting a cbr torrent anyways, so what do you care ;)
ill do a small print run with extras, signed etc and sold on this site sooner or later none the less.
but for now, enjoy, and i hope you dig it so far! \m/
