Pages

Been a while since I posted anything, but that's because I've been busy working on this:

I've got the first two pages done, and here they are, albeit minus dialogue (I'll be saving that for when it's posted in full on the actual site.)

The first page is a basic introduction to the mythology, and I attempted to draw it in the style of Mayan heiroglyphics (I was specifically inspired by the finds at San Bartolo).  This won't be the style of the entire comic, obviously, but it may be an occasionally recurring motif.

Lines first.

And now in color.

You may notice the dark lines on the line copy.  My process is to draw it in pencil, scan it, and enhance the lines.  I do a little clean up and then remove all white, making it an outline over a transparency.  Then I color behind the outline.

Now page 2, which introduces the primary art style for the comic (and the first of our luchadores).

The last panel on page 2 (with the fight breaking out, and some other background things) is not part of the narrative, it's just a way for me to flesh out the background.  In the final copy, it's blurred, I just figured I'd show you guys a fully detailed version here.  And, for anyone familiar with the website The Chive, that is a "Keep Calm and Chive On" luchador there.  Just for fun.

Hope you enjoy.
