In a two-week span, my son broke his arm, and I was hit with the mother of all summer colds. As I have said more than once. I am glad this is not the way I earn my living! Issue 4 will deal with Nightstik’s powers. What he can do, and more importantly, what he […]
Issue 3 is drawing to a close… This page went up pretty fast considering I got the breakdowns from Stephen last night. I cannot say enough about Manga Studio. This program is a Godsend. What I love about it as I’m able to get all the poses I want from any angle I want. It […]
Sorry for the lack of notice on this late page. I’ve been busy with my other life as a director. Happy mother’s day to all! This is some pretty typical hero going into the bad guy’s layer and walking right into an ambush of course. How many times have we seen the well meaning hero, […]
So here is page 15 with the usual excuses for the 12 people still reading this comic. What I like about it is how unheroic Nightstik looks as he struggles to find the right file. I also dropped an Easter Egg into the file information. You have to squint, but it’s there. There are also […]
Page 17 features both traditional and digital techniques. Here I am inking Stephen Prescott’s pencils with both brush and pen and a few screen tones. It is hard to believe that when I started publishing back on Tumblr that I am already on page 17 of Nightstik #2. I have been impressed with my ability […]
HTTP Error you are the devil! Somehow, I found a way around it. I’m not sure what I did, but I managed to set the featured image in a round about way. Well, I hope this thing goes up. It was quite a struggle to get this page even half-way publishable. I think it turned […]
I’ve had some technology issues lately. I’ve been hit with the dreaded HTTP Error. I guess this means somewhere in the process, the internet doesn’t like some of my files. Given what I’ve done to some of them over the years, I’m not surprised that a few of them are a little funky. So here […]
This page tells the story, but I think I overworked it. When I’m unsure about how to render a page, I tend to get really “heavy” with cross hatching. This is probably done subconsciously or intentionally to cover up my lack of skill at rendering everyday objects. Still, it passes my test for whether it […]
This is a dynamic page penciled by the very talented Stephen Prescott, Story by Josh Nelson and inks by me. Early on, I struggled to ink Stephen’s beautiful pages, but we started to adapt nicely to each other as we went along. Tell me what you think!
This is a beautiful page penciled by Stephen Prescott and inked by myself. Stephen is simply an amazing artist, mentor, and friend. Josh also wrote one hell of a story for us to draw. Many people think of the writing of a comic to simply be the words. There is far more to it than […]
