Catwoman and Snake-Eyes
12 Oct 2008 by PrimeOp
|
Even though I couldn't get the mini-comic made to peddle at the upcoming Screaming TikiCon this weekend, I finally put a ton of my artwork on CD and got them printed at Kinko's. That way, my lil' art folder will have stuff more recent than 2004 in it. One of the things printed was a version of the Catwoman picture I just posted here that doesn't the background that I made last night. Too bad I can't get back out to Kinko's to get the new background printed up. Yes, that's a new Catwoman pic and it's part of this week's update. The other bit of newness is a version of my Snake-Eyes pic but with a Joesplosion in the background to pay tribute to the toy packaging. I still feel a bit sick so I'm going to try and get some rest before another work week.

Phenomenon and... Beans vs. Cornbread?
05 Oct 2008 by PrimeOp

Despite being sick, I'm still trying to get things ready for a book that it doesn't look like I'll finish in time for the convention. Considering all the stuff that I finished last week, I can only imagine how much more I'd get done if I weren't sick. The good news is that I finally put together a passable pic for Phenomenon from the Vigilants. Out of all the character redesigns I've done in the past few years, this one is my favorite. The second (yes, TWO new pics this week!) stars the duo that I named my blog for: Beans vs. Cornbread. I was going to use this art in the new blog template that I made for the place but it just didn't work out. Still... it's Beans vs. Cornbread and I may be able to use this in the book.
I also set up this CuteNews module to automatically generate an RSS feed instead of making a separate one. I may still update the one that I started a few weeks ago but I figured I'd use the CuteNews version which does things much better than I do by hand.

Batterram, Batmobile and news
28 Sep 2008 by PrimeOp

Blargh. Caught a nasty cold early last week which has killed a lot of my building momentum. I did accomplish a few things, though. For one, the big guy over there is Batterram, one of my oldest characters and a founding member of the Vigilants (then known as the Protectors). Secondly, I got the last Lego parts that I needed before publicly showing that thing I teased last week: the classic Super Powers Batmobile in Lego form. It's been one of my main Lego goals since I was a young'un and I've been scheming to do it once I got back into Lego. Plus, if you went to this site's URL instead of going straight to the main menu page, you something that you'll see in the upcoming "Main Universe" comic that I'm working on. If you missed it, check it out now.
I need to get some rest but also need to still work on comissions, so I've decided that I probably won't do much more color work until after the convention. Since the upcoming Illmosis mini-book won't be in color, there's no point in slowing myself down with doing that. If I can shake this cold, expect more character shots than usual. Another thing that needs to be up to snuff before the convention is this:
Beans vs. Cornbread will be on the business end of more loving that you'd expect. Besides that unfinished template, there's... something else that will go down at Beans vs. Cornbread and this post will be the start of it. How? You'll find out in October. See you next week!

Mindsight (Base Color), previews and announcements
21 Sep 2008 by PrimeOp

 Sorry to have another disappointing weekend update, but having Mindsight in base color mode is all that I can show right now. I'm getting more and more of that "Universe Intro" story laid out in thumbnail sketches along with redesigns for over a dozen characters. I'm just getting to the part where
My current plan is to cobble together a small black and white minicomic all about my current Illmosis sites: Illmosis, ScrollBoss and the Beans vs. Cornbread blog. An preview of the Universe Intro story will be in it if I have time along with a slightly different version of the "Nutroll:The Illness" teaser. I'm not exactly sure what will make it into the book, but I want all the sites to represented in there. Beans vs. Cornbread may not be much to speak of right now, but that's going to change very, very soon.
Before I go, here are some pics of two things that I'm working on. First up is my own Quarters pattern. I've been saving old-style quarters (no state quarters) since late last year although I kept dipping into the savings when I was low on funds. Here they are on the scanner:
Next up is the something that I'll be adding to the toy section. It's something I've always wanted to build with Lego parts and now it's nearly done. If the last few needed pieces that I ordered get here before next weekend, you'll see the full thing in the next update.
I'm not joking when I say that I work on a lot of stuff at the same time. Gotta go and get back to work on something else. I'll see you next week with what I hope to be a good week as far as content goes.
