Comic art commission - Karate Kid & Timber Wolf Pt 6

I really hope I am not driving people away from this blog with this series of video posts. We are past the pencil stage and I am now starting the inks. I believe there will be two more clips of inking. Maybe three. And that will do it. But for now, let's start slinging some ink.

Yikes! It is all becoming a blur. When the camera memory was full and the battery needed recharging I thought I did the final pencils without recording it. I was wrong. I did record it and didn't notice until I filled the memory up again with the inks I am working on and recording tonight. So here is the real final part of the pencils. I will post the first inks in just a bit.

This is the last of the pencils. And you will notice it ends abruptly. Sorry. The disc was full and the camera stopped. Didn't realize there were 275 pictures on there along with whatever I had recorded. After I deleted the photos, the battery was on it's last legs. So I set it up to recharge while I finished the pencils.



This whole process has been real interesting for me. Also a lot of work. But as I have done each one, I learned a little bit more and have streamed lined the process of editing and putting the package together for YouTube.

Some more footage from the pencil stage. There will be one more shorter video to watch that finished up the pencils.

Comic art commission - Karate Kid & Timber Wolf Pt 2

I had hoped to have this up yesterday but time was cut short. (We went to see Iron Man 2 on IMAX.) So here is Part 2 and with any luck I will post Part 3 later today. That will finish the pencil stage. Since these clips are real time, they may get a bit boring, but rather than edit or speed up, I figured it would be good to get a feel for the actual time involved. This piece is taking more time because of the recording, editing, exporting, uploading and displaying process, but you can still get a good idea of the time involved in an actual commission. As I have said before when I post my "process", nothing groundbreaking, but I hope it's at least entertaining.

Oh, and feel free to post or email questions. I will try to answer while I record the inking process.

This is the first of what I think will be 4 or 5 part series of me starting and completing an inked commission in my studio.
