The Chicken and I have been working on an 8-page story for “Eleventh Hour,” an anthology published by Orang Utan Comics AAM/Markosia. (Look for it in the April issue of Diamond’s Previews.) The cat has helped by making sure my new A3 scanner doesn’t float away. (He sleeps on it all day.)
I’m breaking out the inks and tones on this one, and because of the high production quality of the book, I get to use actual grays instead of tones. I’m really enjoying this project and working with writer Ian Sharman has been a blast.
And working with you has been a blast, too, Eric.
Actually, hate to nitpick, but while Orang Utan Comics did indeed publish the first two issues of Eleventh Hour, and we’re the brains behind the new issue - it will actually be published by AAM/Markosia. It will be solicited in the April issue of Diamond’s Previews magazine, and will ship in June.
Thanks for the clarification, man. It’s exciting that Markosia has picked up the book and I definitely want to mention that.
I figured you had to be up to something big. This is amazing! I have instant love for this illustration. It’s so fresh and so clean, and the scene tells a lot of story.
I can’t wait to see more!
I’ve seen more…it’s goooooood.
Having known Eric since he was drawing glorified stick figures having a tea party in the back yard, I can confidently declare: You’ve come a long way baby!
Now you just need a pack of Virginia Slims and a cup of coffee.
Seriously, this is delicious stuff you have here! I can’t wait to see more!
Hugs for you all, you bunch of knuckles.
Man, I love your detail EMS.
She’s just asking for a wedgie.
Proper.
