Spidey!

TOM- This is my latest contribution to the Shelton Diagram Correspondence Club. I've been getting some really cool drawings in the mail that have been making me want to draw something cool in return! I used this as a good opportunity to mess around with a classic superhero, in somewhat of a classic style. Those guys back then were so f*ckin' good that it makes me sick! Then it makes me want to try harder! I colored it with the same method that i used for my last post, except this time i added a bit of a halftone pattern.

And here is the black and white piece that I sent in the mail. Later.

'Perfect' Final Color!

TOM- So here is the final full colored version of my 'Perfect' story for the Ka-Blam-O anthology. My goal was to make it look like an old comic printed on newsprint. Back when comics were cool, when the pages were thin and flimsy and they smelt like a moldy basement. I had alot of fun working on this one. Eventually, i would love to work on a longer story in this same style and actually print it on newsprint!

If your looking for some cool make-up during Halloween, be sure to contact her. And if your looking to scare the shit out of some little kids, give me a call.Thats all for now, more drawings coming very soon!!!

"Perfect"

TOM- Here is page one of a two page story entitled "Perfect". The story will be featured in a new anthology created by Edowyn Vazkez called Ka-Blam-O. On top of there being four other great artists featured, the book will be COMPLETELY SILK SCREENED in a two color process! I'm excited to see what it's gonna look like when all is said and done, which should be this winter. I am really having alot of fun working on this. I feel like i'm piecing ideas and design elements that i've had in my head for a while and are now finally coming out. A big inspiration for the layout, especially the first panel, was Archie comics. Just the way they always have that big introduction panel with the title and everything gives it a kind of built in cover which I always loved.
Real quick: here is my pencils. I'm still trying to figure out how tight or loose i need to go with my pencils. This seemed like it worked, just enough info for me to start inking and figure shit out along the way. I inked it with a #2 series 7 W&n brush, some nib, and some pens. Next page coming soon!
