My friend David White is an awesome artist who specializes in mecha art (AKA big robots). He put out two artbooks over the last couple years and they are fantastic! If you like robots or just cool technical artwork in general, check out the video link, which features cool, transforming robot animations. And then buy the books, which are chockful of great illustrations and even include drawing tips and tutorials!
Runners: The Big Snow Job just got a great review on Ain’t It Cool News! I’ve been sending preview copies of the story out to review sites with the intention of including some pull quotes in the printed volume, and this review was just posted. Check it out!
In other news, the 6-page epilogue is now completely inked and I will be coloring and lettering it in the next week or two. If I didn’t mention it before, it will be exclusive to the printed graphic novel as a little bonus thank you to everyone dropping their hard-earned benjamins for the printed book. Do people still say, “benjamins?”
A couple weeks ago, I scripted the all-new epilogue for The Big Snow Job. Looks like it will be 6 pages, of which I now have the first 3 penciled. I plan to pencil the other 3 and ink all 6 this week. Hopefully, by the end of next week, it will all be colored and lettered.
A taste of things to come: here’s an awesome pinup I just got from Shawn McManus (Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love) for the Snow Job graphic novel collection! Sweet!!
Ugh. It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Sorry, all. It’s been a very long second half of 2011, between buying and selling a house, moving, and then moving in with my parents for the past 3 months to help with medical issues. Anyway, in between the freelance work and all that other stuff, I’m still working on getting the new graphic novel printed.
Along those lines, I have a random question for anyone planning to buy the RUNNERS: “The Big Snow Job” graphic novel: do you generally buy softcover trade paperbacks or hardcover editions? Just trying to figure out if I want to offer hardcover options, maybe in a much more limited quantity. And for any self-publishers out there, if you have worked with any graphic novel printers that you’d like to recommend, I’d love to hear about it.
Thanks everyone, and I’ll have more book updates soon…
