number five : black and white

The last issue of Get the Lobster is out next wednesday, and a color preview has popped up, so here's a few of the pages in black and white:

too many light sources

a few bits from this week's life drawing. the model was in a cosplay outfit, which made quick watercolors a good choice for getting the big shapes down. these were all pretty fast and sloppy - 10-20 minutes each - but it was still a lot of fun.

I made this animatic while working on the cover for Zero #9, which is out today. The final cover was put together by Tom Müller:

familiar places, in black and white

 a few black and white bits from Zero #9 - I expect a color preview, with colors by Jordie Bellaire, will pop up sometime soon.

more from the sketchbook

Stacking up nicely with last year's Abe, here's Hellboy, done for Multiversity's "31 days of Hellboy". Just like last year, they're running a competition that you should check out, if you draw.

March 22 - Hellboy Day

To celebrate the first twenty years of Hellboy, Dark Horse has organized a bunch of events on March 22, at stores around the world -- full list here. I'll be signing in Toronto, at The Beguiling, so come say hello!

Get the Lobster #1

Get the Lobster #1 is out this Wednesday! Here's the link to a color preview, and below are a couple of black and whites. Hope you pick it up-- this one is way crazier than anything so far.

it seems like i will never get bored of drawing people smoking in the dark...

(all these are unrelated, obviously)

two bits

Merry Christmas, everyone -- hope you're having a fun time. Since I haven't come up with a holiday card yet, here's two bits from the desk this morning--

milk truck

A milk truck is not a spoiler (I hope). Unlike literally every other panel.
