Here's a watercolor that I did during the last Emerald City Comicon.

I think this is where it's coming together for me. I want to try more in this vein.

These were a lot of fun.

This one kind a got away from me. Would like to have had some more subtle values in there.

I found these pieces I was working on trying out a new process. Definitely some fun results.

So for the past month or so I've been working on this 12 page Dynamite Comic called Pathfinder: Goblin Tales. I think it's supposed to come out in August. Anyway, it's been something I've had to work on every chance I get. After work every night and weekends. I also finished another project as well that was before this.
This took almost as much time and paid zero. It was my first pro bono work and an interesting assignment. I'll probably post more finished stuff over on my main site at some point.
Now that I actually have a couple seconds to rub together to make a minute.

This is day one for me using a sculpting program called MUDBOX. I spent a couple hours with the tools which were quite fun and intuitive. The best part about it, is I can use my Cintiq which doesn't hurt my hand like using a mouse.
I still miss working in clay, though.
Anyway, it has loads of potential. Can't wait to take another crack at it.

Because of the time constraints I really didn't get to dig into this too much. First, I think the closests I got to what I feel is still somewhat authentic is the above sketch of Ming's Fortress.
As far as the characters go, there's much more I would have liked to explore. There's a reason why so many have failed at trying to update Flash Gordon. Or if they weren't updating him they were trying to capture the magic of the comic strip. Part of the problem is that the art was really amazing and far beyond what a lot of comic strips were doing at that time.
Something about the 1980s film felt right still. It wasn't too sincere. It was full of pageantry and high production design and yet had dialogue as if written by a 15 year old. Even the strip was a bit more literate that that. At any rate...I will probably do a fan-fic page of Flash Gordon at some point in watercolor or maybe even digital or both. But for now, this was all I had time to come up with.
And even this, isn't quite it.
