Still moving along

I have a humble work space,and that's all that I need. As long as I have the right tools and good ambition that's all that I need. Coloring HR #4. Many people say they want to make a book, I'm one of the small percentage driven enough to do it. 2 more books after this.

Been Watching Sailor Moon

So after the madness of moving a new state, new job, and seteling in I've been working on Hellion Rider number 4.  I'm done drawing all the pages and now I'm coloring.  Now that I moved my Cintiq up to NC from Florida I can start coloring.  So exited.  Since the new Sailor Moon series in coming out I've been re watching the old shows so catch up to the new stuff. LOL

Here's the cover for book No 4

Moved away to get my life back

First time I've seen snow.

So there's been a bunch of changes since my last blog.  My computer died, but just a few days later I had a job offer in Fayetteville North Carolina doing graphics.  I only had two weeks to get ready and drive up shortly after Christmas.

It's been a very interesting experience up here and it's definitely not Tampa, but I'm adjusting.  After a few weeks, I'm kind of getting used to the area, the new schedule and being far away from my husband and family, but I got to do what I got to do.

Starting next week I'll have my own place up here so I'll be able to start working back on the Hellion Rider.  I can't wait. Plus I saw snow for the first time.  I don't see what the big deal is.

Started on Hellion Rider #4

First I want to wish everybody a happy holiday. Finally got started on working on Hellion Rider #4.  Here are a few screen shoots of the new book. Currently I have the Cover done and page 1- 3 fully pencilled. I'm happy with the progress. Now today is turkey day. So I'm going to bundel up try to sketch some more. Happy Turkey Coma Day!!!

Getting back in the grove after the move

Hey guys 

Sorry I took a break for a month from updating the blog but it's been a doozie.  The weekend the we moved my father passed away and it's just been a never ending hell trying to help my mother. But it's coming a long. As for the comic book its moving but at a slower rate.  The apartment is still a mess since my husband stuff is overwhelming every where and I have a hard time dealing with clutter.  In fact I simply have a harder time concentrating on in clutter.  Always been like that. 

But things are getting back in the grove and I'm now working on page 15 out of 22.  Slow restart but moving a long. As for now Mythbusters is keeping me company on Netflix as I work.

One hour sketch, on hour of color

So the last two days I took a break from coloring to give my hand a short break.  I went ahead and I finished the script for HR #5.  I'm very happy how the story is wrapping up.  Currently still coloring on book 3.  I'm at page 07.  A few days break was what I needed to get back in the grove. Be posting more soon. 

Start Trek The Next Generation has been keeping me company

Sadly I wont be able to keep my 3 week goal for this book since I've been dealing with a family emergency and now I have to move as well but at least I not taking at 3 year pause between books.  Been pushing through the pages even if it is only 1 page a day.  Hopefully by the end of this moth I have most of this book done. I'm still waiting for my husband to help me prof read my last book but he's busy. At least is moving along. In the mean time I've fleshing out the script for HR number 5. I'm quite happy with the progress.

Got my second wind.

After a few difficult days dealing with a few major family emergencies I finally go my second wind.  The other night I simply was to exhausted to finish the background, but after a few days I finally got a replenish my batteries and I'm much happier with the results.

Still need to finish the background but at least you can see my coloring process.

This is comic book page out of my own comic book called the Hellion Rider. Enjoy the process. Living with a Toy Collector is a web page dedicated to the spouses, partners, friends and family who has that special collector in their lives. This page will talk about my experiences and what I've learned from my husband who is 4th generation collector. Hopefully you'll be able to relate to some of my funny experiences and even learn something new when it comes to dealing with your collectors collection. Enjoy

Currently right now I'm wrapping up book 2 and starting on book 3.  While I figure out what to do about distribution I figure I would keep the ball rolling on this project I love so much. So here are some rough sketches idea for covers.  Keep you guys posted. :D

Finally finished colors and design 4th rider

So as you guys know I've been putting crazy hours trying to finish book #2 of HR.  So today I finally finished doing all the colors and designing the 4th Hellion Rider before our main character V.  As some of you guys know I sneak in pictures on some my friends in my images and this book is no different. I decided to make my friend and my boss Robb the forth rider in my book. After putting up with me for 10 years at work is the least I can do say thank you for being a cool boss. Be on Hellion Rider #2 page 20 inside a picture frame. Characters will be Chuck. Sketch took 1 hour and colors took 2 hr.

Now I'm down to color corrections, fallowed by text and the the book will be finally done.

Here are the sketches from Hellion Rider number 4.

Finished with Script for book #4.

Is spent most of yesterday working on the script for the Hellion Rider.  Book two is almost done and book #3 needed a face lift when it came to it's script.  I always like to be ahead of the curve if possible so I went ahead and wrote out the fulls script for book #4. I'm very happy with the progress.

Now to fully wrap up book two.

Pushing on with the script.

It's Friday. Giving the big computer a day off and just chilling on the laptop for writing.  Wrapping up issue 2, refining script for issue number 3 and thumb nailing issue 4 story.  All in all I'm very happy to be working on this again.
