Monsterpede: a sketch + page five

Saturday, September 1, 2012

Today at the Bellingham School of Comics, I did the above top-left-corner sketch (a scan is included below, in the full entry). It’s a scene that probably won’t end up in Monsterpede. I didn’t have any reference for the flea, because all the fleas that live on me are smart enough to build their condos [...]

Monsterpede: media practice

Thursday, August 30, 2012

Monsterpede is mostly in greys with a few red accents, and I picked up a couple of new supplies yesterday that I thought would complement it. (For anyone who cares: Faber-Castell Graphite Aquarelle Pencil (8B), Daniel Smith’s Alizarin Crimson watercolor paint, and regular ol’ Higgins ink.)   This took me forty-five minutes.

Monsterpede: Finished pages 01 – 04

Saturday, May 5, 2012

The above image is a watercolor sky with touches of marker on the edges, especially in the red by the water. All the mountains, water, and city [...]

Monsterpede Script and Storyboard

Friday, April 6, 2012

Here’s the entire manuscript, with the storyboard thumbnails! Some of the thumbs have red in them–ignore that, I was trying to imagine where the text would go, but I realized that was futile and stopped. Some of the thumbs aren’t quite how I intend to draw the panel, but the script right now is pretty [...]

Monsterpede Script & Dummy

Monday, April 2, 2012

More about the process of Monsterpede! I’m documenting what I do in order… 1. Write the story The first thing I did was write a really sloppy version of the story. My favorite part is this You run out of two-headed rats, and flying frogs, and land-eels. You get so hungry that you eat your [...]

Making Monsterpede: Self-publication

Thursday, March 29, 2012

I started a new project called “Monsterpede.” I plan to self-publish it, so I’m free to bore you with openly document the process here. This first post in the series I make about “Monsterpede” is going to be about self-publishing, which I declare, right now, is one of the best things about living in the [...]
