MAKING: MONSTER CITY pt. III

Drawing Page 09 Sidekick Jet...KRAKin'

Black Falcon and Sidekick Issue 03, Page 09 Panel 02

Speedpaint of Sidekick not using the jetpack for its intended purposes. It's always fun drawing action panels. [05MAY22]

Black Falcon and Sidekick Issue 03, Page 09 Panel 01

Speedpaint of Sidekick dodging the monster flyers, affectionally coined 'crabbats.' After two nights of painting backgrounds, it was a relief to be drawing an action panel.  [04MAY22]

Drawing Page 09 Background pt. 2

Black Falcon and Sidekick Issue 03, Page 09 Background

Finishing the full page background layers for page 09. Total time spent coloring this was just over 4 hours. The starting image was made in SketchUp and exported as a 2D image.  It looks like crap until its all colored, shaded & textured.  [03MAY22]

Drawing Page 09 Background pt. 1

Black Falcon and Sidekick Issue 03, Page 09 Background

Speedpaint of the abandoned subway transfer station atrium. Same location from Monster City part II. The architecture is based on Grand Central Station. Backgrounds are intricately boring, but simple and easy to do because I don't have to think...just draw lines & color. [02MAY22]

Drawing Biffalo (or Buffalo)

Black Falcon and Sidekick Issue 03, Page 08 Panel 06

Speedpaint of my amazing looking chicken-dinosaur monsters the boys have to fight in the upcoming third issue. Half velociraptor...half chicken...ALL MONSTER. These guys, affectionately named "Dromaegals," are fun to draw. [01MAY22]

Drawing Shadrak & His Crew

Black Falcon and Sidekick Issue 03, Page 08 Panel 05

Speedpaint of the *CRABBAT* trio, led by Shadrak. The little joys of adding absurd sound effects to my comic is what makes life worth living.  I know the preview says "PAGE 03," oh well...it happens when you're the only one doing everything. [01APR22]
