A time lapse art video that my loved one Neil helped me make back in 2009. I’d love to do more like this someday! Visual art is such a solitary occupation, and often times it feels like the finished product is all that matters of the performance, but I do like to see a picture evolve.

Indistinguishable From Magic: How a Dresden Codak Page is Made

Follow the link for a full run-down of the creation process for DC.

It starts with a rough outline. For Dark Science I have a basic script and story outline, and I decided how much of that script can/should fit onto a standard page. From there I start working out what I needed to draw.

Concept Sketching

With this page I started with sketching Nephilopolis….

Lucky Penny pg. 6 preview.
Ananth and I are posting a short preview of our book over at Johnny Wander this month.  It’s nice, I get to take the time and completely immerse myself in the project for a little bit.
In all, it should be about a 9-page preview.  The first two pages are up now.

Connor is workin’ up something. deliciousbrains:

First page of Mother Wolf! Should be much better than the last abomination I spent ten months working on. Feels weird to be starting the whole process over again, but I’m really excited to be working on this series again.
Enjoy the easter eggs. They’re everywhere.
