This was actually a tough page to do. I took a lot of pictures of the woods by my house with a flashlight to observe how light behaved. I even had my son stand in for Arnold on the lower panel. Making comics is a family affair!
One thing we forgot to draw was toilet paper. In light of the sound effects, this page is especially gross! Story and Art by Stephen Prescott and Toby Dycus Enjoy!
I love double-splashes. I wanted a big heroic moment for Nightstik because he actually has very few of them in these stories. Enjoy my tens of readers!
Here is page 30. This is a play on Amazing Spider-Man #1 where Peter Parker momentarily ponders a life of crime to pay the bills. Well, Nightstik has no sick aunt, so he indulges in a 14 year old’s coolest fantasy.
Who doesn’t love a two-page spread? These pages show a lot more power and action than my first attempt at it way back in 2012. Clip Studio is a huge help. As always, I still start with a paper sketch and then move the software around accordingly. Enjoy!
It has been quite a long layoff from this project, but I have some new tools, techniques and insights from ECCC. Here I made use of a line extraction tool from Clip Studio. Sure, it might be cheating to take a photo and just take the lines out of it, but this sort of thing […]
I more or less stuck with what I did the first time on this. Cleaned it up and fixed some of the perspective and anatomy.
This page isn’t all that different from its first inception wayyyyyyyy back in my Tumblr days. Another thing I did was to update Nightstik’s dialogue a bit. When I was first writing it, I was really trying to write a “serious” comic more in the vein of The Dark Knight Returns or The Crow. What […]
This is mostly a shot for shot recreation of the page that was first published a few years ago on issue #1. It’s pretty faithful to the original with very little new drawing. It was mainly the finishing (inking) and lettering that needed work. Enjoy!
Here is page 11. This was originally page 8 (I think) in the original first issue. I trimmed some of the dialogue back. Like a lot of new writers, I had way to much dialogue on the page. Working with a writer on 2 and 3 taught me that pictures are more effective at telling […]
