Been kinda busy, my apologies for missing a few days of posts. I realize that this isn't a pulitzer winning cartoon, but it was fun to draw and color. I think the shine on the windows and the clouds turned out nicely.

This piece also taught me a lesson about getting my perspective correct during the sketch. While it's not 100% in the drawing, it's FAR better than it was thanks to some digital trickery.

Heading down to Olde Town for bank run and comics. Try not to mess up the place to bad while I'm out.

Since I start a 4-6 week gig Monday I'm using the next few days to do things I couldn't "legitimately" do while looking for a job. Namely drinking beer and playing with toys. Actually, by play with toys I mean photograph them. Below is from a series of test shots of my repro Gaiking.

Things boded ill when he shot me with a missile during set up. But he settled down, I took a few shots and played with the lighting. Unfortunately I'm using very yellow lighting (aka lamps from Ikea) so all the final shots will have to be color corrected. Silver lining shooting against white gives me a great reference for color correcting.

This is one of the shots with nominal (<1 minute) if color correction. Any opinions?
