It came from an atomic flying elbow

This is why I read comics. French landmarks going on rampages, symphonies that can end the world, heroes with bionic gorilla bodies; all those imaginative non sequiturs and odd bits of genius that you just couldn't get away with in any other medium. Add to that some truly well crafted writing and art and its easy to see why Umbrella Academy has been one of the most satisfying reads I've had in awhile.

Now, fanboy gushing aside, this was a fun piece. If nothing else I had an excuse to draw a guy with a flippin' gorilla for a body and frankly you just don't get that with every subject.

Along Came A Spider

Been neglecting the blog for a bit too long but in my defense I have a few projects that are taking up the majority of my time that I'll be able to share hopefully later this year.

As a time saving method, I ditched my usually trace method in Illustrator and worked off a clean version of the pencils. Not quite as crisp as I'd like it but we'll see how a little more experimenting improves the technique.
