Two pages to go!

Boy, does that High Priest love to hear himself talk.

In case you didn’t see it.

I’ll be exhibiting at both Emerald City Comic Con again this year, and at Denver Comic Con.

For ECCC, I’ll be at Exhibitor booth 1308. On top of exhibiting For “Hominids“, I’ll also be there helping sell Monsterpedie 3, which is an anthology book I’ve been a part of for the last 3 years. So if you’re planning on coming this year make sure to stop by and say hi!

Here is a little preview of the short story my writer-in-crime, Winda Benedetti did for Monsterpedia 3

The last two days were a little stressful.

You might have noticed the site was down.

There was a few issues with Sitelock that caused the whole thing to fall apart. Fortunately, I was able to get on the phone with my web host and Sitelock to get that all worked out. I apologize to all you folks out there who were frustrated that you weren’t able to get to the site the last couple days.

On a happier note, a couple of fun announcements!

Not much to say this week…

…other then it looks like Sno is realizing which team Icari is playing for.

Have a great week everyone. The escape attempt continues next week!

A page like this is a bit tricky.

It’s tempting to want to add dialog or text of some kind.

A lot of times cannon fodder characters will have some playful banter, talking about something that has nothing to do with the story. It can be a fun break and add a bit of humor.  That or the main character will have an internal dialog going on during the action. They’ll internalize either what’s happening or think about something else. Spiderman does this better then anyone else. Batman spends a lot of time brooding to the audience as well.  For my part, that stuff can often come off as filler. Not truly adding anything to the story. It might be the animator in me but I like to let the action speak for itself. Even if it seems like a page of characters running around frame after frame, it’s important to pace it in a way that makes the city feel huge.

I hope you enjoy this weeks page. It’s one of my favorites. I do have a feeling there will be something on the other side of that tunnel.
