Update #26: Rewards have been Sent!

Posted on March 24

After a great weekend at WonderCon (I will have pictures and video soon for you to see), my wife and I were able to complete the packages for all of you great backers and send them off today! I'm so excited for you all to get your rewards! Please allow a couple of weeks for them to arrive, the mail can move slow sometimes, especially for some our international backers. If your package does not arrive though, please contact me, so we can work something out. Thanks to you all for your great support, and stay tuned for more updates!

Update #25: The Books are Here!

Posted on March 13

Wow, it has been a while since I've updated, but nothing too exciting happened until TODAY when the printed books arrived! It is so amazing to hold the print copies of the book in my hands. 

For the past month, I have been making preparations for WonderCon, getting all of your backer rewards, and anxiously awaiting the arrival of the books! Ka-Blam was our printer for this book, and the quality is amazing, much thanks to them.

This weekend is WonderCon, and we will be documenting so much of the trip and share it with you when we get back, and of course, I will be sending off all of your rewards once we return!

I am immensely thankful for those of you who have backed this project and made it a reality, I am very proud of what we have accomplished, and I know you will be too! So for now, here are some pics of the printed books, watch for updates, and look out for rewards towards the end of the month!

Update #23: The Flats are done!

Posted on January 29

Hey, Everybody! Progress has been great this week! After finishing the drawing, I was able to focus on flatting. In this process, I break up the major areas for coloring. This can be done with using ANY colors (as you can see in the first image). Then I can quickly take those areas of color, select them, and turn them into the base colors for coloring (as you can see in the second image). Then the fun part! I use all those base colors, and then add highlights, shadows, glows, and various effects to them to get a finished colored page (as you can see in the third image). The flatting is the most tedious and important part to coloring, when it's done, it makes the rest of the coloring process so much easier. So, the coloring is well on it's way to being done in the next couple of weeks!

Update #22: A Big Milestone!

Posted on January 25
Well, folks, we've hit a milestone here! All the illustrations for Expiration Date are Done!! It's hard to believe but all the drawing is now finished, now onto finishing the lettering, and doing all the coloring. The coloring will be a big process, but will go A LOT quicker than the drawing side of things.

My wife has already flatted a bunch of pages for me, so that will continue to help me to color quicker! I'm so excited for this book to be complete so that I can share it with you all. If I had to give you an ETA, I'd have to say the book will complete in the next 2-3 weeks, WOOT! And as always here is some new art, the autopsy of Senator Harper...
