Suuuuuup.

No more whining from me. It's time to suck it up and get Double Z finished for real now. Total page count at the moment is 134. About 30 of those need inking still. Then about another 30 pages left to fully draw after that. So, if I can ink 2 a day, and then draw the rest... I should be able to wrap this up in June, and hopefully we can get it all printed and ready for SDCC. (I pencilled 3 and inked 1.5 today, so bully to mee)

This is a comics miracle waiting to happen. Let's fucking do it.

Oh yes, for this miracle to happen, I also need some Gray Scale Toners to help finish the book... I need seriously good toning people to help out. Maybe take 5-page chunks, etc. I only need maybe 2 or 3 volunteers, and you must be AWESOME. No "sure, I'll take a whack at it!" shit, only "FUCK YES, I WILL TEMPER MY GRAYSCALER SOUL IN THE FLAMES OF DOUBLE Z" applicants only. Must have an understanding of my art style, and how to apply gray tones to COMIC ART. No amateurs!!! Sorry to be harsh, but you know.

Oni is scouting out their own toners to help out, and Los Fokos (from Vol.1) will most likely be handling a chunk of the book as well. But to get this 100% ready for SDCC, we need a fucking X-FORCE TEAM of TONERS ready to rip it deep. You will be urged to emulate Los Fokos' style from the first book, but a personal touch on it is no problem. Which is why I would break up toners into SCENES. That way, each scene will just have it's own tone look to it. Dig?

The only bad news about this Double Z madness is... My Commissions will have to wait. I sincerely regret how shitty I am about getting these commissions done and sent to people. I have been a mess for about 2 years now. Which is about how long some people have had to wait for their drawings. I will draw them. People will get them. It will be glorious. (For mental comfort, imagine one of those posters of a kitten hanging from a tree saying "Hang in there!")

I did the Stumptown convention in Oregon last weekend. It was cool. To prove how awesome I can be at drawing sometimes, I whipped up 12 drawings in like 3 hours to sell at the con. But I became so attached to them that I only sold one (making the only money for myself from the con-- a whopping ten dollars! it's cool tho, I scored an awesome Iron Man mug while down there, too, which is worth more than money).

Jfish scanned all of them, but he has no internet right now coz he's moving. But I scanned a couple of them just now.

There Will Be Blood fan art:



Ya, these are about my favorite drawings ever. I think I have to do more There Will Be Blood fanart... Also included in this set is a Terminator 2 fan art, and a new Optimus Chronic drawing... Sometime soon I'll try to get the other 10 drawings up.

Also at Stumptown, I participated in an "art battle" at a party. It was "Web Comics vs Print Comics". Jfish and I represented print comics (although I fancy myself an artist of both print and web). Instead of actually drawing my opponent, which I was supposed to do for the "charicature" draw-off, I drew all four Ninja Turtles and Shredder, to the crowd's enjoyment. It was pretty fucking legendary. People were taking pictures, so if anyone knows where I can see them, let me know!!

Okay, it's on like Donkey Kong. Time to Shadow the Wolf. Double Z to infinity. Excelsior.
