Secret project - Done!

Phew!

Finished. And sent off a good few ours before the deadline. I hope it's resized correctly. In the UK, they use different paper sizes. This one pager was reduced down to A5...which is smaller, and thinner than a usual US comic book page.

Secret Project!

Good news is...I finally finished the 6 pages of the Strontium Dog strip. Inked, lettered and resized and zipped off to the good folks at 'Dogbreath'.

Now I'm concentrating on a 'Secret Pin-Up' page and again...I can't show it until it's been published.

It's a fun little project and I've only got the rest of tonight and tomorrow to finish it! The deadline is Wednesday. The pencils are complete.

So, the minute I get home from work I'll have to ink like crazy!

Strontium Dog Update!

I can't show any of the complete pages till the strip sees print...bt two are completely finished! Resized and lettered!

Hopefully I can get the rest finished tonight and mail 'em off.

Finished!

All 6 pages are fully inked!

Now to scan and letter them. I'm still on target for the deadline.
Another partial panel on display. Oh, just realised...Rich didn't call the triple boob babe 'Tess'. Crap! I'll have to change that.

Der Gronk!

Nearly done!

Only got two panels left on Page 6!!! Then the scanning and lettering begins. I'm ultra confident I'll get this finished waaaaay before the deadline!

Strontium Dog - Page5 - Panel 5 - Inks!

I couldn't resist posting this whole panel. Rich's script called for a 'Total Adi Granov Iron Man rip off.' And I fully obliged.

One of my favorite panels!

Page 5 fully inked...all that's left is page 6. The pencils on that page need a lot of work!!!
Hopefully, I'll have something to post up tomorrow.

Strontium Dog - Page 4 - Panel 2 - Inks!

Partial inked panel...again to avoid Spoilers.
Finished the inks on page 4! Nearly there.

Strontium Dog - Page5 - Panel 5 - Pencils

Again...another partial panel as not to spoil everything.

Strontium Dog - Page 4 - Panel 2 - Pencils

Partial pencils. Again...I don't want to show too much! Don't want to spoil it.

Strontium Dog - Page 3 - Panel 4 - Inks

I can't show too much of this page or it will spoil the surprise!

Strontium Dog - Page 2 - Panels 5,6 - Inks

Page 2 and page 3 inks - Finished!

But can't really show too much of page 3 or it will spoil the surprise. I'll post one panel from it tomorrow...a spoiler free one.

Still tightening up the last three pages.

The pressure is on!!!!

Strontium Dog - Page 2 - Panel 1 - Inks

Two pages completely inked and a third partially!

I swapped out the controversial 'Glitter' character for Old Green Bonce himself - Tharg, The Mighty...complete with styrofoam cup!

I need to step up my game a bit more to finish the strip before the deadline...so...no beer more or 'Red Dead Redemption' for me till I'm done!

Strontium Dog - Page1 - Panel 5 - Inks

Page one has been completely inked!
Woohoo!

Strontium Dog - Page1 - Panel 1 - Inks!

So, I tightened the pencils on the first three pages of the strip and loosely pencilled the remaining three. And I sat down to ink the first page.

I initially wanted to keep it simple as possible...try and keep it 'my style'! (Whatever that is?)
and then decided...Screw it! I'll do my best Carlos Ezquerra impression!

Not too shabby. Now if I can only keep up the quality throughout.
