Post-Comic Malaise & Other Toonage
Oct. 4th, 2011 10:53 amThanks for all the compliments yesterday on Grizzly & The Bear Patrol #6. I really enjoy the feedback (and even criticism, though there wasn't much of that). If any of you haven't read the latest issue, you can catch it here.
If anybody has any questions about the issue, let me know. I often get feedback on the art, but I'd be curious about the story. I admit I don't focus as much on writing as I do the artwork.
I'm suffering from a bit of post-issue malaise. I spend so much time getting the comic finished and getting it posted, that after it's done I'm not sure what to do with myself. The excitement is over and things slowly get back to whatever is normal for me. Of course, until the next issue starts forming in my head, which is likely to be soon, but the body needs the break.
I do have a chance to catch up on my other cartoon requests. I've been chatting with a handsome devil in Chile named Antonio. He is an artist, but works more with physical materials and sculpture than drawing. He asked me a couple of weeks back to draw him as a hero a with Roman gladiator type theme. Who am I to turn down a beautiful man's request?
After issue #6 was done Friday, I spent a little time Saturday night drawing and came up with this draft of his hero. I don't have a name for him yet. Antonio seems to like it and wants to work together on design changes and final look, which is great. Who knows, maybe he'll turn up in a future issue.
