100 (whee)

2009-10-15T19:04:00.003+02:00

so it's been a hundred weeks! too tired at the moment to feel particularly festive; maybe in a few weeks, when it's two full years? below are all of them so far, not clickable, but soon available on the website (when it's done- couple of weeks, i'd say). highlights? the president asked if he could have his portrait- that's not bad, i'd say =)

p.s. 100 consecutive thursdays! well, i actually did miss one-- greetings go to the crabby employee of air france which made us miss the flight this june! thanks for ruining my track record!

100-1

one more to 100, five to full two years.

so, yeah

2009-10-06T18:03:00.004+02:00

-i've finished drawing marvel divas. it's been quite an experience, with the hottest summer ever, and the shortening deadlines, but it's there. the longest thing so far. a lot was learned about a lot of things, and who knows what's next.

well, port silver. and a few things. but after that, who knows!

monday it is

2009-09-28T19:44:00.002+02:00

the last monday i spend drawing divas. that's a pretty expensive dress, by the way, and the shoes- first pair of blahniks in the whole book. unbelievable but true.

another miniscule drawing, a future space epic

100-3

2009-09-24T19:36:00.000+02:00

only three more, luckily time won't be so tight on them.

looking at the deadline, probably...

hidden homage

2009-09-22T00:11:00.002+02:00

the first inked (and cropped) panel of issue 4. i love drawing shelves full of books, which doesn't mean i'm fast at it. this probably took an hour to ink. but it's one of the ways to sneak in hand lettering in the pages! the homage bit is too obscure- maybe two people will see it.

extras

monday monday... fun to ink, but not too fast

waiting

2009-09-18T04:09:00.002+02:00

a couple of guys from the same piece of scrap paper lying around

100-4

2009-09-17T20:57:00.003+02:00

the deadline was half an hour this time so i had to go with the first sketch... on a different note, stubble going gray is quite hard to draw and all these people seem to be covered with it.

thumbnails

2009-09-16T01:48:00.001+02:00

these are about five times larger here

orange book again

2009-09-15T16:08:00.003+02:00

at some point i'd stopped liking sketchbooks, but now i seem to have four going at the moment. two or three of which are very specific, at least.

draw it twice

2009-09-14T17:42:00.002+02:00

from the recent batch of layout roughs

100-5

2009-09-10T18:25:00.000+02:00

fun with a pencil indeed.

working out

2009-09-09T20:46:00.001+02:00

...the thumbs. very rough, this time. backbreaking even!

cropped panel

2009-09-08T00:09:00.000+02:00

from the blue book

2009-09-07T15:24:00.001+02:00

today is vacation, damn it! for the next 24 hours, at least.

sometimes it's not pretty

2009-09-05T02:31:00.005+02:00

drawn sometime during july, this rendition in the classic manner perfectly captures the joyfulness of days of 12-hour stretches and one million degrees of heat and humidity. thus, no line is an accident! (pronounce the sound with a deep gargle to get it right)

done!

2009-09-04T00:23:00.002+02:00

done, done and done! now sleep, food, basterds, terminator, and other fun things! and then more work over the weekend!

100-6

2009-09-03T17:17:00.001+02:00

well, six inked, two to go-- portraitwork as a short break. it is thursday, after all!

cozy

2009-09-03T00:31:00.000+02:00

busy day today-- now only some 16 hours of inking left!

it's all in the head

2009-09-02T00:08:00.000+02:00

a few more days!

no water
