This week’s update takes a dark turn…

The 100 Days project continues on unabated, for the most part. The last few days have been full of writing for the most part, with little time to put pictures on paper. That’s what Lindsey’s for right?

COMIC UPDATE!
Pages 9-12 are available today, with 4 pages being posted next Wednesday and the one after that. Go check it out!.

The Life I’ve Been Sold – Pages 5-8

And we’re back with another week of cyber thriller action!

As many have already noted, this week marked the closing out of Zuda’s slush pile and I was among that group. It’s an unfortunate thing, but one I was well-prepared for. I wish them luck on whatever it is they’re going to be doing. After waiting 7 months for a reply, I had pretty much assumed that Mourning Electric would not be continuing on as a weekly with DC.

However, that means I can do pretty much whatever I want with it, so it’s going to be getting it’s own site. I’m working on getting a back-stock of pages finished for it so that I can release it this fall before Long Beach.

Pages 5-8 are available today, with 4 pages being posted next Wednesday and the one after that. Go check it out!.

The time has finally come to offer up a new comic for your enjoyment. I’m excited to say this is the culmination of progress so far in my 100 Days project. We’re currently at day 46 of the project, just shy of halfway. May the next 54 be just as exciting!

Now then, go on and take a gander at the comic. Pages 1-4 are available today, as the subject implies, with 4 pages being posted every Wednesday until July 7th (total of 16 pages for you kids keeping score at home).

100 Days Day 22-28

This 100 Days thing has been an excellent motivator and also a delightfully nonstop source of guilt at the AMOUNT of work I’m getting done. Things like the day job and life keep getting in the way of my desire to work 16 hour comic days. But in good news, I’ve put on about 15 lbs of muscle and lost 3 lbs of fat in the last few weeks. Apparently there really is something to be said for a regular workout regimen.

But enough talkin, you came here for close up teaser pictures of comics right? My first pass of inks are below, no spot blacks yet.

100 DAYS TALLY – END OF DAY 27
Mourning Electric side story – Pencils done
ME side story – Inks – up to page 6 and some of 7 & 8

Note the abstract artwork going on around my ink well, i could probably sell it for more than my comics to some guy in New York

Here Jacob sardonically points at a Wave screen. Also I forgot to ink Molly’s eyebrows

Jacob, having some emotions. This was a very line-weight intensive page so it took a while to get through

A moment of confusion and shame, another heavy line weight page

100 Days – Days 10-21

The hardest thing about a project like this while you have a fulltime job is not sticking with it every day. It’s remembering that you need to scan stuff to post on your website before you go to work.

Somehow at 3 in the morning I am not thinking about taking snapshots of what I’ve been drawing for the last 4 hours. My bad.

I’m up to my neck in this short comic and planning for some upcoming changes in the daily life. After that it’s back to work on the Pins N Needles script and some planning on what to do with Vapor Trails now that its original destination has shuttered its doors.

The Mourning Electric short will be going up by the end of next week, I believe. 16 pages of black and white suspense. Get excited! The actual story will go up…some day. I’ve waited so long for a reply from Zuda at this point, it feels like a waste to pull it back and stick it on its own site. We’ll just have to continue being patient.
