[Sketch #7 - Clarity Preview]

I finally decided to post a turnaround preview for Clarity Gale, the main character for my upcoming comic series, Devour Them (which will make it's debut early 2010 ^^). I'm still not set on the color scheme, but much of what Clair wears is muted blues and greens, the same colors in the salt marshes she calls home. Tonight, I don't think I'll post any of her bio, but as things progress, I hope to keep it updated on this blog, if not one of my other journals. For now, I'll just say she's a cultural anthropologist who has been going through big changes recently... like dealing with demons.


Savannah, it's surrounding lowlands, beaches, and marshes are a beautiful place, year round. There is a sense of something powerful going on around the dark and mysterious backdrop a place with such history provides. I've long made trips back and forth from this city and hope to soon call it home. For now, it remains a key point in a story I'm still unraveling, and having a lot of fun in doing so. Devour Them is a personal story in many ways, but I think it's message will hit home for a broad audience, and I'm excited to get it out to the masses.

For now, it's Christmas Eve and I'm hoping everyone out there is snug around a fire with friends and family. I'm sure Clarity would wish you the same.

More to come.

[Sketch #5 & #6 - Spidey and Voodoo]

Today marks my brother's 32nd celebration of the day of his birth. To show my appreciation for his continued existence, I sketched this tiny Spidey today at work and colored it when I got home this afternoon. I realized that it's been a while since I've posted anything, and though I promised some sketches from my upcoming comic, I instead decided to post the illustrations I did for Jeremy. The second illustration, Wild Cat's Voodoo, was a year over due in the making. But better late than never, right?


This month has been as interesting as the past two, things are still in constant flux. I find myself being more and more productive as keeping myself busy seems to keep me from over-complicating my life. I definitely figured this would be a lonely month, but I'm keeping upbeat and positive and reveling in the fact that I'm not sinking into some deepish abyss. The people I care about are doing well, I'm getting to see some of them more often than usual, and I couldn't ask for much more than that. Still, I remember the people who are not here, and miss them dearly. Tis that time of year.

I find it best to use ratiocination and rely less on the frivolities of rumination. And mostly I just used that sentence to put to use my word of the day widget.

More to come. Hopefully later this week.
