Caretakers Tales - Cover Final!

Here it is!

The final cover color for Caretakers Tales. The color artist is Rob 'Seraphyn' Jackson. He's an amazing artist. You can check out his blog by clicking the link to the right.

Amazing, amazing, amazing.

All that's left is the intro and it's off to the printers.

If your reading this, Thanks again Rob...you're a bloody genius!

Caretakers Tales - Cover Inks!

Ta-daaaa!

The cover inks are completed! Going to get this colored and maybe shift around the text a bit. But...the inage is complete.

Phew!

Caretakers Tales - Cover Ruff!

As the title sez - it's the blue line layout for the 'Caretakers Uncannily Nasty Tales' cover for the Black & White Edition.

Myself and Rich decided we'd go ahead and print a black and white version while Rob works on the colors. It'll take Rob a bit of time to color the whole 49 pages. So, in the meantime, people can buy the Black & White version.

This cover is a sort of homage to Al Feldsteins 'Tales of Terror' cover from EC Comics. To check out Mr. Feldsteins cover and compare...go to this link:

Feldstein was a genius so please...take it easy on me.

Now all that's left is the cover...which I'll probably leave for a while until Rob catches a bit up on adding color to the pages.

Here's a peek at Page 10!

I got back from Sedona on the weekend. Myself and my beautiful wife of 10 years had a great time. Now my batteries are recharged.

I did page 10 today of the last Caretakers story. I'm really hyped because...not only am I near the end of the book, but my team 'Manchester United' beat 'Barcelona' today to go to the Champions League Final.

Woohoo!

Babes - Page 9 - Panel 1!

Alrighty!

I can't post anymore complete pages at the moment. I don't want to spoil the story...so, here's a snippet of page 9.

I'll probably show one more preview page and then I'll post an odd panel or two. I don't want to ruin the ending.
