Hey all!<br /><br />I know I haven’t been updating much
recently, but that’s because I’m hard at work! I am proud to announce
that I’m part of two awesome Kickstarter projects right now! They are
both very cool, and if you like comics, horror, or just art in general,
at least one of these projects is for you!<br /><br />Here’s the low down and dirty - <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theironrachel/in-the-dark-a-horror-anthology"><strong>IN THE DARK ANTHOLOGY</strong></a><br /><br />In
the Dark is a brand new horror anthology featuring some of the top and
up and coming talent in the comics industry today, and is a great chance
to get an anthology full of unique voices doing really cool horror
tales. In the vein of the old Tales of the Crypt, Creepy, and other
classic horror anthologies, you aren’t going to want to miss this! <br /><br />The project is spearheaded by <a href="https://twitter.com/racheldeering">Rachael Deering</a>, and she was great enough to pair me up with <a href="https://twitter.com/JamesTheFourth">James Tynion IV</a>,
a talented writer and all around nice guy who has given me one of most
terrifying monsters to draw. Our tale is going to blow you away!<br /><br />Pledges
for In the Dark start as low as $10 for the full version in PDF, and
more for the hardcover. There are still some really cool donation reward
tiers open, so it’s WELL worth your time and money! <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theironrachel/in-the-dark-a-horror-anthology">Take a look at In the Dark here!</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/783501291/tip-jar-sketchbook"><strong>TIPJAR SKETCH COLLECTION </strong></a><br />
<br />
<br />
TipJar is a really cool project masterminded by my great friend <a href="http://www.nickysoh.com/">Nicky Soh</a> and organized by the rad <a href="http://umicorms.com/">Jen Hickman</a>!
This project is a chance to get to support fresh talent, and get to
know new artists(and great people) in a very intimate way- Through their
sketchbooks. <br /><br />Every artist knows that for every good drawing,
there’s countless sketches and process work that goes into it’s
creation. This is a chance to see some of each artists unique work
process, as well as a chance to see experimental work that wouldn’t
typically be shown portfolios, or even sketchblogs! Each artist has
selected the best of their sketchworks, and contributed at least 50
sketches to the project. <br /><br />Donations for TipJar start at $1. The
more you “tip” the more art you’ll get. Even $1 will get you 300 awesome
images, and for as little as $10 you can get the full Megabook - 700
pages of awesomeness. There are also increased reward tiers as well, and
for $75 you can get the full package, 4 prints, and an original sketch
commission of your choice! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/783501291/tip-jar-sketchbook">Check out TipJar here!</a> $1 isn’t much to ask to support awesome art and keep us going!<br /><br /><br />
<em>Opportunities like this aren’t going to coming around often, and trust me, you’ll want to say you were there when it happened!</em><br />
<br /><br />Please support these projects by donating, and if that’s more
than your situation allows, please share, reblog, and spread the word
to your other art loving friends!<br /><br />Thanks!<br />

So it seems my good friend <a data-mce-href="http://jorgecor.deviantart.com/" href="http://jorgecor.deviantart.com/">Jorge Corona</a> lost his portfolio this past weekend at the Baltimore Comic-Con Convention center. <br />
<br />
Most
likely it was missed amongst the craziness packing up at the end of the
show. We were all sitting together and there were probably 6-10 similar
looking portfolios all sitting near each other and somehow it was
missed during the hubbub. <br />
<br />
Almost all of his best work including
the pages for his first professional work is in there, and it is really
heartbreaking for him. <br />
<br />
This is a request to please keep an eye
out for it. Unfortunately it only has his name on the interior and no
contact information, so if you have seen it or have any information
about it, please contact either - <br />
<br />
Morgan Beem at - morganbeem (at) gmail (dot) com<br />
<br />
or <br />
<br />
Jorge Corona at - jorgecorona86 (at) gmail (dot) com<br />
<br />
At their respective email addresses. <br />
<br />
<br />
If
you are an art dealer or collector and see any of these pieces for
sale, consider them stolen, and please contact us and the authorities. <br />

<br /><br /><br />Here's a preview of the special edition print I'm doing for HeroesCon this year! The Wieringo Scholarship really changed my life, and gave me a boost right when I needed it most, and I want to give back somehow. <br /><br />Tellos is a really special comic, and I know how much Mike loved these characters, so it only seemed fitting I honor his memory this way! Half of the proceeds from the sales of the print will go to the scholarship fund, to help the next up and coming artist along the way. I will also be donating the original art to the HeroesCon auction!<br /><br />I'll have colored versions of the print at table AA-712, so be sure to drop by and check it out!

Zoom in for Full view!<br />
<br />
<br />
As you may know, I'm currently working on a project called "You Never Know" for an upcoming comic anthology called <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/783501291/playlist-anthology" target="_blank">Playlist</a> , which is being Kickstarted right now! <br />
<br />
All
of the comics in the anthology are based around songs by different
musicians or bands, drawn in different unique styles. This is something
awesome that you'll definitely want to be a part of, so check it out!<br />
<br />
The song is a sort of Supernatural Horror/Noir tale that is inspired by and based on the song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mLC59iKXrZc" target="_blank">You Never Know</a> by the band Brazil! Here is a breakdown of the page process step by step. <br />
<br />
It's pretty self-explanatory but let me just give a little bit of clarification here. <br />
<br />
1 - Concept Art<br />
----------------------<br />
After
getting the general idea for the story from reading the song I do a
rough concept design. This gives me a solid visual for what to think
about when I'm drawing the thumbnails and finished pages.<br />
<br />
<br />
2- Song Analysis<br />
----------------------<br />
This
is one of the more exciting parts for me as a storyteller. Since the
story was originally written as a song with verse rather than as a comic
script, it's up to me to break down each page and panel. This gives me a
LOT of freedom and makes the process really enjoyable. <br />
<br />
<br />
3 - Thumbnails<br />
----------------------<br />
Once
I know what's going on each page as far as the song is concerned, now
it's up to me to break it down into individual panels. This goes hand in
hand with the script analysis part. These thumbnails are VERY rough. If
I was working with an editor or published house I imagine they might be
a little frightened about these almost illegible scribbles, so I would
have to tighten them up more. I probably should anyway, because coming
back to these a few weeks later I even had to discern what I was drawing
a few times. Regardless, when it's just for me I don't feel the same
need to make these totally definite, I want the freedom to play with the
layout and panels just a bit when I get to drawing the page. <br />
<br />
4 - Pencils<br />
----------------------<br />
Rough
pencils. I ink my own work so I'm not as concerned with having a final
line, black placement, or rendering as I would if I were handing this
off to another artist. This saves me time, as well as makes the inking
more exciting for me as I usually do it the same day as the pencils. If I
made finished pencils and then inked them it would probably take me
close to 15-20 hours, and there's just not enough time in the day for
that. These pencils are darkened up significantly in Photoshop so that
you can actually see them onscreen.<br />
<br />
5 - Inks<br />
----------------------<br />
I
think I'm with a lot of artists who ink themselves in that this is my
FAVORITE part of making comics. I love coming up with the storytelling
and figuring out how to draw the different parts of my story, but the
feel of the pens and brushes on the board is really awesome, as well as
the variety of marks I can make with them. After inking I erase the
pencils, scan, crop, and threshold the inks to get just black and white.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed and for all of you interested in making comics I hope this is helpful!<br />

<br />
I have an announcement to make! I'm excited to say that I will be collaborating with one of my favorites, the super cool band Brazil, in creating a comic for an awesome <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/783501291/playlist-anthology" target="_blank">kickstarter project called Playlist! </a><br />
<br />
This is the cover for our tale, entitled You Never Know, based on Brazil's song of the same name.<br />
<br />
This project is
featuring 200 pages of awesome comics from a bunch of great, talented
and super nice comic illustrators! Every story will feature a song
interpreted by one of the artists into comic form. There will be a wide
variety of artistic style and voice, all bringing music by some great
musicians and bands to life!<br />
<br />
Please take a look at the project and help us bring this amazing project to fruition! <br />
<br />
You can check out some of the great artist's on their dA sites here!<br />

<br />
Let me just give you a little background on the project!<br />
<br />
Last spring, Nicky started creating small illustrations in his free time as a way of relieving himself of any pressure from his other projects. It was a way to both experiment with style and drawing techniques, as well as cathartic means to draw unusual content. I am lucky enough to own one of these drawings, and I gotta tell you, they are all beautiful. <br />
<br />
After amassing an amount of these, and having enough interest from friends and family, Nicky decided to put them into a compilation art book, and share them with the world! He also will include 20 pages of process and preliminary sketches, and has asked myself and 14 other super talented artists to do our own interpretation of his drawings for the book if the project gets funded! <br />
<br />
I'm really excited about this project, and I think you should be too!<br />
<br />
Here are some of my favorites of his blue pencils drawings that you could expect to see in the book! <br />

Hey just an update here!<br /><br />Been a bit, I've been working on my
Sequential Art Senior project at SCAD the past few weeks, and it's
pretty much my main focus, so I haven't been updating as much currently.
<br /><br />That said, I want to show a few rough pages from my project, a
comic called Dust! You may recall that I've had a few different pieces
of art up for this here and there!<br /><br />These are rough pencils, and I'll be inking over top of what you see here! <br /><br />Enjoy! <br /><br />All of these are done in non-repro blue pencil, but have been darkened and converted to grayscale so they can be seen better. <br /><br /></div>

<br />
I am currently two weeks into the final quarter
of my senior year, mere weeks away from finishing my undergraduate
degree, a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Sequential Art at the Savannah
College of Art and Design. <br />
<br />
It's been an amazing four or so years
here, and it has definitely changed my life for the better. I have not
only the drive to succeed, but the tools and means to as well. Four
years ago I decided to take control of my life and make a change, pursue
the dream that floated in my head since I was a child. Now I'm seeing
one of the first milestones in that dream come true!<br />
<br />
So what does this really all mean?<br />
<br />
Currently
for my senior project, I'm working on pages for a graphic novel story
that I wrote in spring of last year. I'll be taking the package to a few
publishers, hopefully piquing their interest, and getting my first
major tale into the world and into people's hands. There is no guarantee
of course that my book will get picked up, but that's not going to stop
me from completing it and seeing it published, even if it means I need
to do this myself. I'll be keeping all of you updated with everything I
can in relation to this and it's progress. <br />
<br />
I am also working on a really cool anthology project headed up by the talented and hardworking <a href="http://lilithim.deviantart.com/" target="_self"><img alt=":iconlilithim:" class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/i/lilithim.jpg?1" title="lilithim" /></a>.
It's called "Playlist" and it's going to have awesome comics drawn by
myself and friends of mine based on awesome songs and music that
inspires all of us. There will be a Kickstarter for this project
sometime in the next few weeks or months, and any and all support we can
get for this will be great. Share, donate, support comics and art!
Believe me, this will a project you'll want to be a part of. <br />
<br />
Finally,
I have my first gallery show next month here in Savannah Ga. It's
called "The Underground Comix Show" and it will feature original art and
stories by local comic artists and illustrators in Savannah. If you are
in the area and like comics, independent artists, and/or unique
stories, this is will be the place to be! Mini-comics of the work shown
will be available, and it's going to be awesome. <br />
<br />
The show starts
at 6pm February 8th at the Ashmore Gallery, and will be open until
February 12th. You can check out more info at the facebook event site
here <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.facebook.com/events/464164016981789/">[link]</a><br />
<br />
I'll
also be opening commission projects up once I've graduated, probably on
a 1-3 slot rotating basis for those interested. Keep an eye out for
announcements concerning this, if you're interested in getting an
awesome original illustration from me, this will be the time. <br />
<br />
<br />
I
will also have a table this year at HeroeCon in Charlotte, NC. If you
go to HeroesCon or are in the area, come by and say hi, buy some prints
or a sketch, and chat! I'll be sure to update when I have table numbers
and specifics!<br />
<br />
Until next time!

I've been working on a short story over the school break. It's an 8 pager that will be featured The Underground Comix show on February 8, 2013 at the Ashmore Gallery here in Savannah, Ga. <br /><br />I've been having a good time with these pages and I figured I'd drop in and let everyone see how it's been (slowly) coming along!<br />Eryk Donovanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16176846517581824531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531380627699390096.post-87676625229144584532013-01-05T11:42:00.000-05:002013-01-05T11:42:07.731-05:00Mega Man<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Warmup drawing today before inking. Punisher is pretty cool. I always enjoy drawing big muscular dudes with guns, so it was just soothing the Id today. <br /><br />Enjoy!Eryk Donovanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16176846517581824531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531380627699390096.post-29118591012028933182012-12-31T17:31:00.000-05:002012-12-31T17:31:17.839-05:00Happy New Year!

Happy New Year's everybody! I've had a wonderful year! Probably one of my best (if not THE best) so far! Between getting married to the loveliest girl I have ever met, receiving the amazing Wieringo Scholarship, and my first convention appearance, and all of the other great things that have happened give me alot of hope and drive to make the next year even better!<br /><br /><br />I had to get up really early for work today. Well, early for me anyway. Thankfully it was really slow, so I had the chance to sketch away! I wanted to draw Ben Templesmith's Wormwood, and he looked so festive I figured he would be happy to welcome in the new year. Tifa has long been a favorite of mine in Final Fantasy VII so I figured I'd take a stab at her too. <br /><br /> Enjoy! I hope you have a great new year, regardless of how you felt about this one!
