Scatterlands is a digital comic I've been doing with Warren (lots of awesome stuff) Ellis. I couldn't be more exited to work with Warren and doing this st*ip has given me a chance to play around with my art and try things that wouldn't really fit the tone of Super Dinosaur. This has all been on the side of Super Dinosaur. Robert and I have have some cool things coming as we are nearing the end of Volume #4! Just a quick one today. Here is the cover for SD 13. The escape from Inner Earth arc continues! Whew, been a while since I've updated this. Going to try to get new art up here more regularly. pencils. It saves me all kinds of time. I am still coloring the book, so don't worry my free time is still quite limited. Cliff inked me on one issue of Astounding Wolf-Man, but thats my only other experience with an inker. I am quite please with how things are working out so far and it allows us to turn finished issues around faster, so everyone wins! My pencils are actually drawn digitally using SketchBook Pro software on a Wacom Cintiq. There are pros and cons of doing it this way, but the main pro is speed. To get all 'behind the scenes', here are some of my digital pencils from issue 10 then the inked and  Cover process time! The cover for issue 5 needed to represent our heros fight against the giant and evil Mega-Raptor! This first sketch was OK but, we decided that more of the raptor should be seen and Super Dinosaur himself should be in his battle The first 2 sketches were drawn in Photoshop with a Wacom tablet. Its hard to get much detail with it but very useful for figuring out design and composition stuff. This tighter sketch below was drawn by hand over a printout of the Photoshop sketch, then scanneed back into Photoshop where I could easily add perspective grid lines. That was then printed out in light blue onto the Image bristol board. With a blue Col-Erase pencil I drew the finish detail and all the And finally scanned back into Photoshop for the coloring.
