It's now time for some comic coloring news
I'm currently working in a comic with Joyce Maureira for a Kickstarter project written by Shane Crash and Anthony Mathenia. Joyce is doing the pencils and inks, so you know that the artwork is going to be great, and I'm coloring her artwork.
You can head to the Kickstarter page if you're interested in the project, it's a split comic, with ours in one side.
Tabula Rasa/Butterfly - a Grindhouse Split Comic
This is a page from the comic "Huck Finn's Adventures in Underland"it's a project I'm currently working on with Nikola Jajic and Gabriel Peralta, so far it's been a blast and I really like the results.
You can check out the comic and buy it for only $1.99 on Comixology
Time for something a little bit different.
I realize I almost never post the pages of comics I've colored, because I concentrate more on my illustration work, but I thought I could show some of my best work here anyway.
This page was done for Zenescope's Grimm Fairy Tals #75, I really like how in turned out.
Some time ago I posted some samples of comic coloring that I did for "The Circle of the Wilted Rose", a comic drawn by Joyce Maureira. I thought that I could try that and cast a wider net to get more freelance work. It worked great, I quit my day job at Devir a couple of weeks ago and now I'm just freelancing.
For now I've been pretty busy just coloring comics, I'm working to make some time to do more illustration work in the future, but I'm with a couple of crazy deadlines right now.
Anyway, it's a big improvement and I'm very happy that I took that step, hopefully I won't have to get a day job again.
After saying all this, here's a comic page that I colored for a project called "Playing the Game", it was really fun and I think my coloring style was a good complement to the pencils.
And this is the rendered page from "The Circle of the Wilted Rose", I like this version better, although flat colors certainly have their allure too.
It was done in ArtRage, I'm so used to how it works and I think it's a much better tool to paint than Photoshop, also, I hate Photoshop
I really like the last vignette btw.
Flat colors for 'The Circle of The Wilted Rose'
I've been trying to experiment with different styles, it's hard sometimes to work in a different way when I'm so used to the method I've developed.
Well it's always a good idea to expand my portfolio and I do enjoy a challenge
Color for the second page of the comic 'The Circle of the Wilted Rose' you can tell I'm just aping Dave Stewart, but damn, his colors are impressive.
Drawings by Joyce Maureira
Lately I've been reading more comics, and I thought I could begin coloring them
As a test for me, I colored a page from "The Circle of the Wilted Rose" drawn by Joyce Maureira, I'm still getting used to coloring comics, but I think it's something I could do.
