From the Depths [inked]

These are my finished inked pages for my short story "From the Depths". I originally planned for this to be an exercise in sequential storytelling, and to serve as a portfolio piece. As I've spent time with it I've had other idea's for expanding the story and the world it exists within. So there be more of this to come. I think these might look even better coloured as well... 
I had previously posted my pencils for the story, and you'll noticed I've changed a couple of the pages to have new story pacing. Enjoy!

It's been far too long.

Wow! My first post of 2011, not really the prolific output I had planning at the start of the new year. The irony of course is that I have been locked away in the studio, developing some new peojects, I've just forgotten about the sharing part! Well, I'm determined to make up for lost time, so I'm thinking you will see a flurry of activity here now. First up:

The Captive 9" x 14" Ink on Bristol

TheGoldenAvenger

This new piece is my contribution to Happy Harbor Comics (Edmonton) Vision of Comics art show which opened this past friday.  ( I know I should have given a bit more notice for those who may have actually wanted to check it out....)
It's an illustration I'm quite happy with, featuring the golden avenger, Iron man, and some nasty robot monsters ! Prints might still be for sale at Happy Harbor comics ( or you can contact me if you're interested) proceeds will go to paying my rent...
Thanks for visiting !

Coral, Acrylic on Canvas 12"x 12"


    This painting is my contribution to El Kartel's current show 100 Amigos, and is on sale an the boutique at 1025 Robson street. Come check it out if you are in Vancouver, there are a lot of talented artists in the show, including this guy, my pal Brennan.

    The Coral creatures of the dark seas have been capturing my imagination lately. I love the disquiet of the human form in this strange alien environment. 

Coral Sketch, Ink on Bond 5.5" x 5.5"

This is where it started. 

Captive.

      The pencils for a personal illustration I've been working on. I've loved drawing the coral formations, I find the variety of shapes and lines fascinating and wanted to build a drawing around them. The ocean floor is strange, but I've tried to make it look even more surprising...

O Internet, how I neglect you so. Here is a picture of my Moleskine. 

FromTheDepths - Penciled stage

     I've been talking a lot about drawing comics lately, and I'm very determined to make my way into the comic publishing world, but not many people have seen the pages from my first short story yet, so here they finally are. 
These are obviously at the pencil stage, I'm in the process of refining and inking the pages at the moment, and I plan on completing them; adding colour and design work, and possibly self publishing the story. I've also been adding to the story and might expand on it further.
It's about a clash between to worlds, or two ways of life. The environment is supposed to be eerie and surreal. It follows a strange young man-like creature in the depths of the ocean among caverns of coral reef. He encounters a young woman, a diver exploring the desolate landscape that is his habitat. They meet, and we see what reactions come from two self aware beings, from similar but different species, meeting for the first time..
