SUMMER ODDITY

Summer Oddity, a new comic for the baby grand art show, and summer in general.

It’s presented in its complete horizontal format, as it’s presented in the show.

Full comic behind the cut.

This was a fun one, fun once I started going, as usual life put a strain on getting this done when I wanted to, that and I’m an expert procrastinator. At least I’m productive when I can focus. It’s the cooking comic/sing-a-long comic that I’ve been meaning to do for a couple months now, the format is a little different as the pages are formatted as squares, but otherwise I’m quite pleased with it. Probably the most nipples I’ve drawn in a single comic. Formally it’s reminiscent of an awesome issue of Scud the Disposable Assassin where Scud fights Voo-Doo Ben and Sol on the even pages, while Jeff escapes from the hospital in the evens, one of my all time faves. Adding the colors afterward helped a lot, to keep the story lines clear.

This is the first time I’ve inked a comic using brushes, and as you can see by the results, I’m definitely not all that comfortable with it, but I’m going to try and stick with it. Around page 8 or so I started to feel a bit more comfortable with using the brush. And near the end I was many times faster than the beginning. As usual I looked at a lot of Paul Pope and Farel Dalrymple comics, a lot less Taiyo Matsumoto, I think I appreciated these guys even more after looking at what they do with their brushwork and what I’m feebly attempt to do with mine.

Whatever, I hope you enjoy, and check it out at baby grand if you’re in the area until the 12th of Sept.

PAGE SEVEN

Page seven.  FACT: Southwest Fiefdom is kinda like Northeast Kingdom.

PAGE 06 – Thom A. Hawk

Page 06.  I struggled mightily with this one.

Tomahawk City, NY – Page One

So here’s page one.  It was kinda hard to draw, some of you may recognize it from my neighborhood.  Also the logo/title was a big reason I procrastinated on this page, I was reworking it here and there.  I’m definitely reading too much orc stain bc it looks way too much like a crappy version of orc stain or crappy metal writing hahaha.  Jesus it’s silly.  Anyways, we’ll see…  I’ll set up a comic page for this comic that has all the pages on it next.  Oh wait,

HERE IT IS!

Tomahawk City, NY – PG 05

Page 5 done.  I’m almost on schedule, (this should have been done on Thursday)  I enjoyed drawing the little disembodied heads for this sequence.  However, I hate the last panel, eventually I hope to redraw it, probably not until the other pages are done.  UGH.  BLEAH!!!

T.C.NYC – PG 04.

Page 4.  I have determined that this is the strangest comic I’ve ever written/drawn.  I have also realized large blocks of text are one of the most annoying things to draw ever, however I like hand lettered comics.

TC/NY – Page Three?

Page 3 or 2 (still figuring it out).   I was cracking up drawing this page for some reason, at one point my thought process was “if there is an open hand, put a tomahawk in it.”

Penciled 4 other pages and started inking one.  Hopefully I can finish it tonight.
