Here are some more sketches that I’ve done based on Richie’s ideas. It helps keep my color chops in check while learning more, of course. Well, if I can just start doing more environments with a different color scheme, then I’ll feel that I’m moving forward. Either way, it’s fun.
The end of chapter 1 is here. Now I understand this isn’t the best way to read these pages, so as I’ve mentioned before, I’ll build a new page just for this comic with subsequent pages for different chapters. If you stop by the blog and they aren’t there on the sidebar yet, it’s probably because I’m still working on them. I think also from now on, I’ll probably post previews of chapters amongst my other posts, and then just post the whole chapter on a page instead of a few pages on every post. But, this was the beginning of something new for me, so I’m bound to make mistakes. Anyway, enjoy and let me know what you think.
I don’t know how much I’m allowed to talk about this, but Richie said I could post them so here they are. I’ll say this though, his epic project has a lot of potential, and doing concept work for something so new is always exciting. By the way, sorry for the long delay between posts – life seems even busier when you’re unemployed sometimes. Anyway, chapter 1 of “Hockey, Love, & Guts” is still in progress, so expect more pages very soon. But, in the meantime enjoy this intermission.
Okay, here it is! These are the first three pages of “Hockey, Love, & Guts.” Chapter 1 is about 14 pages long, and I’ve roughed all of them, now it’s just a matter of getting them to the level of these pages here. Of course, this is my first try doing it, so I’m sure changes will be made in the future, but this is the best first glimpse that I can show you, for now. Well, let the pages speak for themselves, and let’s continue this conversation in the comments. So, please comment and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
