Drawing and Work And Holidays, Oh Fuck

So this time of year usually sucks for a number of reasons, so I've been burying myself in drawing or working on things with people or random things for Dead or games. I also bought a fairly decent amount of gifts for people, yay.

I was fairly sick last week and all that, blah blah no one curr. Anyway, here's some unfinished fanart I started over the last couple days.

My Fallout New Vegas character, Veronica and ED-E. I will probably never finish this.

And because people don't see me as enough of a nerd, I started drawing Jim Darkmagic from the PADnD podcast. (Mike, Jerry, Scott and Wil all playing DnD, usually on stage at PAX)

I'll write a review of a game or something tonight. See ya.

Testing

Just testing out how things work with our new line artist Sierra Wilson (Jaska here on the site). I would have her post it under her gallery but she's a butt and hasn't posted anything yet, so I guess it goes here for now.

More Drawing.

While we slowly work on Dead, I'm just doodling. I'm also sick. Have a shitty sketch of Julia and Victoria together looking pensive

New Hires

So, I was about to go to sleep last night, and as soon as my head hit the pillow, a light went on. As always. I thought about the fact that I was making a little more money with this job, a few more hours and all that, and I thought about how much I really do need to just give myself a kick in the ass to get working on things again. So, I decided I was going to do something I've never done before, I was going to hire some people to work for me.

You've seen Nil's work in his own section of the site with his general artwork and the now defunct (but I'm going to keep it around in case he decides not to be a butt) Grave Priority. Nil has now been hired as one of the artists of Dead, he'll be helping me with the line work of the comic as well as some concept art.

The other hire is my dear friend Jesse, who I just posted a bit of our combined sketching on my blob over here. She'll be helping with the layout, panel structure and pencils for the comic.

Essentially what this means is that Dead will finally start updating at a semi-regular rate instead of one page every fiscal quarter and will have a slightly different art style, not that you had a ton of the previous to get used to. These should both be for the better.

That's about it for now. Look for new pages of Dead, The Comic, in the coming weeks. Not months. Or years. Weeks.
