Issue two being re-inked and re-colored



^^ This is page one as it was originally created. It's much more in the style of how the first issue was done.


^^ This is the page one re-inked and re-colored. You can clearly see the difference. The result is a similar, but more refined style. It's cleaner and not as dark. Colors by Anthony Lofton.

Cover update 2


Here's the pose we chose. Also, Damani thinks I made the Samaritan chrome to punish him for something he did to me in another life. Well... there may be SOME truth to that. He does draw my own character BETTER than me!!!

Above are variations on what the cover for The Cosmic Samaritan # 2 might appear in the final. We're still deciding on which pose is best. Illustrations by Damani Hughes.

Update on issue # 2

Finally, a NEW blog entry! I know it's been a while since my last post, but believe me, it was for GOOD reason.



Right now, I'm hard at work on The Cosmic Samaritan # 2. This time however, I'm not working alone. I've brought along some fresh new talent to help with the next installment.




Enter Damani Hughes, a good friend of mine who's illustrating the cover for issue 2. You've seen his work before. Damani was the first to submit Cosmic Samaritan fan art. In the pics above, he's digitally coloring his original drawing. Keep checking for updates later this week to see how this sucker looks in color! It's some of his best work ever. Seriously.




And meet Anthony Lofton. I posted a while back that Anthony would be the colorist for book two. Here he is on the job in the last two pics. In the coming months, I'll be posting updates on our progress. We're working hard to make sure issue two tops the original. Until next time, my peeps!

Stay blessed,

J
