I’m having allot of fun with these. I started working with them up on the wall like this and it’s great. I haven’t tried to ink like this yet…hmmm…

Also, Amanda Ann and I did two Ghost Cat watercolors you can see them here.

So it’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been wrapping up work on my submission for Sundays 2 which, in some way, is part of my thesis work as well. see a panel from it here: http://marsmckay.livejournal.com/ I’ll post more images from the story soon.

I’ve also been working feverishly on Frogherder and Edna Bright here are a handful of Frogherder thumbnails:

Nothing to post today! I took a little time to enjoy the holidays and to spend with a visiting family member. I did post about some cool comics I got for Christmas on my livejournal…here.

Back on the ball next week!

Also, I finished writing the script for Edna Bright on Wednesday! I’ll be sending it off to my adviser right after I post this. Next up, finish the Frogherder script.

Next week I’ll probably have some new Ghost Cat stuff to post so stay tuned.

After all this time I finally feel like I’m making progress.

Over on my other site I posted a new sketch page and be sure to check my wifes blog, there’s new stuff there too!

So I’ve been doing allot of writing, trying to get Edna’s script ready to send to my adviser…and working on other projcets this week. I did, however, manage to finish another sketch page, page 21:

And while I was doing all that writing I realized another character was necessary:

He’ll probably show up on the next page.

Well, that’s it for now but please take a second to check my wifes blog. She’s got some new stuff posted.

Until next time!

Here is my thesis progress comic, also, this is the very first time I’ve ever colored anything on my own. It’s kind of a big deal ’cause I’m colorblind.

Also, I’ve uploaded a handful of Frogherder sketches here. Frogherder is one of three stories I’ll be working on for my thesis.

Until next time!



More Edna and Better Ghost Cat Scans

Here are two redone Edna Bright pages

p62.jpg p72.jpg

and a new page

p20.jpg

The song I’m using here, like most southern gospel songs, has been recorded by a ton of people. I tried to find the original source but Wikipedia was no help…and that’s pretty much all my research options so if anyone knows where the original came from please let me know. Here it is recorded by ‘The Blind Boys of Alabama’ with a new fangled, but good, video.

And here are some scans of my Ghost Cat pencils:

p1roughscan.jpgp2roughscan.jpgp3roughscan.jpgp4roughscan.jpg

Sorry these are so rough. The pages are huge, 14 by 17 and my scanner is iddy biddy so each one had to be scanned in four pieces. When they’re inked I’ll use the schools awesome 11 by 17 scanner.

I also started a new Ghost Cat story this week called ‘Fish Pie’. I’m very excited about it…maybe I’ll post some of it soon.

Lastly, here’s the first page of pencils for my thesis review which I finished yesterday. It’s a three page 11 by 17 inch comic which will be on display at CCS next week…starting Thursday. Everyone in our class is required to do one as well as make a short presentation for the Freshman class. I think this was a great assignment and I had a lot of fun drawing it. I’ll post the other pages after they’re inked and finished up.

More next Friday!
