weekend update

Feb. 24th is upon us, and that means a new Kissing Chaos online comic! Yes, I will upload the first part of the first of many KC:OVERTURES later today. The second part of this comic will be uploaded on Monday. So it will be a weekend of updates, sort of!

Stay tuned to Kissing Chaos dot com for the updates this weekend!

On an other note, I just finished a pin-up for my buddy Sal Cipriano's comic THE HILL, which will be released by Speakeasy comics this spring. Sal introduced me to THE HILL a few years ago, and it's a wicked story. It's pretty sweet to finally see it get published.

I have mixed feelings for the pinup. Though I felt the design and layout of the illustration was sound in my initial thumbnail drawings, it didn't translate the same way in the final piece. I think this is because I used ink for the first time in a long, long while, and in an effort to keep everything clean and tidy, I did each character on separate piece of paper. And effort that was clearly in vain.

What I did enjoy about creating this pin-up was the final stages of production on the computer. I did some digital painting and manipulation with Photoshop. I tested out some techniques that will be employed on the Kissing Chaos comics I have planned, and they worked like a charm!

Anyway, check it out! (click to enlarge)
