Artist's Comments

Well here we go. The inks are done. Took me a lil while to get this going. Although I skipped my usual step of blowing up a small drawing to size and lightboarding it onto the page. Just jumped right in, drew, and inked.

And now it's off to the colorist to work his magic.

This is great. I really enjoyed the image even from the thumbnail concept you have stashed back a-way's in your gallery. The inks on this work really well. It's always fun to see someone who uses brush-type inking, especially when they draw out so many different line weights. One of the only things I'd maybe like to see done differently is the outer "water" or what have you be blacked out to really frame the image. Granted, that could end up popping really nicely in the coloring stage, but as a b&w I think it'd be pretty neat.

Either way, a really nice illustration. Is it for an actual cover?

Do you already have someone lined up to color this? Let me know.

Thanks. Yeah normally I probably would've had more black around there to frame it better. But I figured it would leave more space for the colors to do their thing.

Just a fun sample and not a cover.

Yeah it's already been sent to the colorist.

But I always planned on doing up a Cobra or Joe one just for you (if you're not tired of working on that sorta thing).

nice man looks great! and i totally recommend getting used to skipping that step, i'm so glad i changed my routine, saves a lot of time and not having to re-draw parts of a pic that are tight enough to begin with. what you did is cool, just 'finish' it in the inks.

That's a shame. It would've been a nice pick-up at the shop. I haven't bought a Conan comic since the end of the original Dark Horse run, when it switched to "Conan the Cimmerian."

Oh man that's amazing.

Would you mind telling me what you use to ink? Like brush or pen?
