So these past few days I’ve been working on the cover to chapter 23. I discussed in a previous post about how I feel about my covers and I wanted to focus on this with any real deadline. I don’t have an exact estimate on when this chapter will debut, I haven’t written the script yet but do have the story planned out, so stick around for updates. I will begin working very soon though, in the meantime enjoy the covers!

So ever since chapter 22 ended it’s been a little quiet around the site. Yes I have actually kinda got into some other parts of life and have been doing a lot of re-organizing around the room! I haven’t started working on the next arch but do have a cover going. In the next few days I will be giving a bit of behind the scenes blogs and show you all my work space and a bit more of what goes on behind the scenes. So be on the lookout in the next few days about what’s coming!

Hope everyone enjoyed the Labor Day break! Because now we’re back with more artwork. Check out todays featured illustration!

A historic moment in human history. Kalwa becomes the first human in history to successfully pet a raptor, and no bite marks!

And it comes down to this, chapter 22 is officially finished. The final page is up and live on page, as usual, click the thumbnail below and read the conclusion of this chapter and stick around for more goodness on it’s way.

I know it’s late, I had to work today and do some final updates. But here is the second to last page of chapter 22. Final page will be up later this week as we wrap up this chapter. As usual, click the thumbnail below and check out the latest page!

This was just a little small project I did shortly after chapter 19 when Kalwa got her hair cut. I seriously love drawing swimsuit girls and drawings with water and all the effects that go with it. I had also drawn Kalwa once before in a two piece swimsuit, so I decided to draw this as a way to let viewers know this haircut was gonna stick around!

It’s been a pretty busy week for me. It’ really hard to work on these pages when you get off at 7 pm and then gotta eat dinner and unwind after the long day. However I am still working, and we will have new pages very soon. Here’s actually a little preview of the very next page which I plan on inking more of when I get home from work tonight! You can expect to see this completed page sometime this weekend and the final page of chapter 22 next week.

So I thought I would show off something a little different today as it’s a project I’ve worked on for quite a while. This is my graphic novel library which has essentially been completed at last. I’ve had several of these books for quite some time, once I moved to my new house I started expanding in a way I always wanted.

Last summer was all about Marvel, this summer was about DC comics and now it’s all complete. Those top three shelves on the left is my manga section which is practically dominated by the entire series of Naruto. Truth be told even though I draw mostly in a manga style, I actually don’t read much manga mostly due to the large amount of volumes and space, I do however watch more anime than read manga. I mostly read superhero comics but do indulge in other stories such as Fathom, W.I.T.C.H., and Sonic the Hedgehog, also the Mirage Studios TMNT are a constant inspiration to me given the comics backstory. Otherwise a lot of my ideas come from TV and movies.

That’s not to say that other comics don’t inspire my work. I usually try to read during down time to try to inspire myself and learn various techniques to better my work, as well as taking notes from people I find around the internet. So you can see right here a piece of my studio on full display!
