A Year In Review, Another To Come

This image pretty much sums up the highlights of what I've accomplished in the 1.5 years since graduating college. I think I'm most proud of finishing Halo: A Fistful of Arrows, the largest project I've ever embarked on. Anything that could spawn such rabid support, petitions, soundtracks, etc, is something to be satisfied with, I think.

Of course those jobs that actually paid weren't too shabby either. :)

Anubis can now be added to that list... well, at least for my part. The art is all complete, the actual comic won't be released till the spring, though.

We'll be starting up a Kickstarter project soon to help fund the initial print run.

Next, I've got to work on...

-Re-doing my (this) website
-Various jobs and commissions I need to do
-Halo: Shield and Sword
-The Mayflower Project

Too many ideas, too many things to work on, not enough time... :)

Anubis, the Comic Book....

I'm in the throes of illustrating the first issue of the comic book "Anubis" from creator and writer Sage Howerton.  (The final cover is shown on above.)

"As the sun sets on the Bronze Age a dark shadow hangs over the gods of ancient Egypt. The mysterious and inexplicable death of the goddess Bast has disquieted her immortal brethren. Lurking in the shadows is a force not of this world that even most gods could not stand against. Only Anubis, god of death, can hope to balance the scales in the millennia to come..."

Every interior page has been thumbnailed and laid out and now I'm diving into fully rendering each page.

You can see from these images the process of jumping from those initial rough marks to the final interior art, full of texture, color, and life.  I hope, at least. :)

And here's some more promotional art that features the title character, Anubis.  His costume and staff has evolved a little since this pic.
