Did this awhile ago and I expanded the image a little. It was a lot of fun to just go at it with a brush pen and not worry about straight lines. I need to do this sort of thing more often.

A look at the new Chapter 2 cover
Chapter 2 cover preview! Just to let you guys know that stuff is getting done even if it's not being posted. Like I stated in a previous post I won't be putting chapter 2 online till the website is up, and it looks like that may be happening at the end of September, we'll see.
Anyway, in case any of your were wondering who this is, this is Max, one of the helmet wearing dudes from Chapter 1.

A look at the new Chapter 1 cover
I re-did the cover for obvious reasons. This is the version that will be in Kindrid as well as on the site when it goes up. If you wanna see the original idea go here. For the first two chapters there's going to be a sort of theme, in otherwords there will be a destinctive picture of one of the main characters. I may keep going with this theme, it works well for the first 2 chapters so if I decide to drop it it's fine, but who knows, I may keep going, we'll see.
Anyway, this version is basically done save for the title appearing above her head and the other text things that need to be input.

Monster/Robot sketches
Here's a bunch of sketches of robot creatures that may or may not show up in the comic. Just working up some ideas mostly. However one of them is an actual character, if you paid attention to the last page of chapter 1 then you should know who I'm talking about.

Page Comparisons
Hey everyone, been gone for awhile. Lost of IRL stuff going on lately like relatives visiting, needing to find a job, and such.
I've been doing art but haven't had a lot of time to post it or update about what I've been doing. so in an effort to start doing my regular posting again I'll be showing you some neat stuff. Fellow artist Francesca Buchko and myself have an anthology book coming out soon. Been hard at work on that and preparing the official website for Transpose Operator. I did a lot of work on previous Transpose pages to prepare it for print.
I was kinda surprised by how much things have changed-or more like how much I've changed as an artist while doing the first chapter. it's always fun to see that, "yes, I am improving" even though sometimes it's hard to tell.
I completely re-drew the first 7 pages or so. Here's a comparison of the first page re-do. Basically frame for frame, most of the other pages were changed but I always liked the progression of these three panels, so it ended up being exactly the same. It was a fun exercise too to see how much I had improved.
And then other pages were COMPLETLY changed, like this one. I had always hated the original page cause I felt it looked too shiny, but I had always liked the fact that sometimes seeing someone's reaction to something scary can be worse than seeing the actual thing. It prey's on your fear of the unknown. So I kept this same thought in mind, but I feel it was much more effective in the new version.
In addition to drawing completely new pages, every other page has been re-worked and edited. Like this one here. After finishing the first chapter it gave me a lot of persepective to know what read better, or what was more or less necessary. For example making the bottom panel the entire frame was far more effective to make a creepy oppressive atmosphere. So entire panels were cut.
All these new pages are going to be included in the book, and when the website goes up. I've been working on chapter 2 pages, but I'll tell you right now that I won't be posting new pages until the official site is finished. Which depending on my situation could be a little while. I basically have to raise some money to buy server space, that's my biggest obstacle right now. I could probably put the site up by this time next week if I had the money. It's really frustrating... the starving artist is a real thing, people...
If anyone knows any CHEAP and RELIABLE places to buy server space I'd appreciate you telling me in the comments section.
In any case, I'll be doing a post substantial post about the anthology soon, look out for it! And in the meantime I'll try and post regularly again :) It's good to be back!
