I am so far behind on this;it probably isn’t even relevant anymore. But alas, here is page 10, a major improvement over the original first published back on tumblr. It’s a homage of sorts to Steve Ditko’s very similar page in Amazing Fantasy 15. Nightstik is very much inspired by Spider-Man in a lot of […]
Forgot to post last night. Here is the current page. Enjoy!
This is where I really started to depart from the original number 1. When I started, page 4 was jammed packed with 7 or 8 panels. There was far too much going on. Now, 4 is broken into two pages where we get a little more of a look at where Nightstik is. Enjoy!
When I first posted this, I wasn’t sure how to do a two page spread. A lot of this page recycles what I had previously done. For the most part, I’m really trying to preserve as much of the original issue 1 as possible. Enjoy!
Welcome back to Nightstik #1: Re-mastered! What does re-master mean? I will be re-doing most if not all of the original pages to reflect my better understanding of how to write and draw comics. What will be different? The art and some of the dialogue will change to be more consistent with issues #2-4 and […]
Hello! Welcome to Nightstik or welcome back as the case may be. I finally got enough material to be able to get a page a week out without it falling too far behind so here comes a brand NEW issue #1. Why the re-boot? Well, as I alluded to in my last post, my abilities […]
Back in 2002, I actually took the time to sketch out Nightstik’s studio apartment. This two-page spread is based on that rough sketch. It was incredibly tough to draw! Who knew a stove could take so long? The idea I’m trying to convey here is that Nightstik’s place is SMALL. He has no secret hideout. […]
Welcome all 12 people still reading not directly related to me! I had never drawn a bar brawl. My partner in crime introduced the talking monkey into the situation and suggested the poop throw. Not only that, he contributed art for 3 of the five panels, so that garners him an art and story credit. […]
This page was a BEAR! The idea was simple. A big dynamic splash page depicting what is seen on first person shooters all the time. Like I said. Simple, right? NOPE! The angle just wasn’t looking right. I twisted it. I turned it. I flipped it. At one point, I was drawing it upside down. […]
This was supposed to be an easy page. Five senses, five panels, right? Wrong. Five panels became six. Six became seven. This is the danger of writing on the fly. Initially, this was to be a pretty straight forward layout, but the more I worked on it, the more I hated it. I had just […]
