Pocket Legends

Pocket Legends has some new characters and I got asked to go back and create some new stuff for the game.  It was a little strange going back to a project I worked on many years ago and trying to stay true to the art and style that I was a part of years ago.  Fun exercise to say the least.  

Check out more of the game here:

Head on over for some shop talk!

I just liked this mini story

And Valhalla cried out for his son. 

 But it was too late. 

 For Myth and legend stole him from the heavens 

and he wandered through dreams, looking and wanting. 

 And waiting to hear a fathers beckoning 

once more.

I was experimenting just using markers and finding shapes instead of line work.  Then story started working then...well...this.

Orcs, Aliens, and Pirates OH MY!

So over on the Instragram account I do these morning sketches.

I do a couple each day

Also as a reminder!

They are all for sale to the first caller.  

Original and 1 o' a kind!

$40 for art and shipping. (for one character) 

(for a full page email me)

Good deal huh?

Evolution of a page

So after I jot down a few notes in my handy dandy notebook this is how I make a comic book page.  Photoshop for the thumbnails and thoughts.  Manga studio for the lines then back to Photoshop for colors and wording.  That's how I'm building this up.  Page 45 of a planned 85 pages for this story.

On another note, and of course if you are still reading this, I want to make some online videos and tutorials this year.  I of course do not have software to edit so I am adding a donate button to any of you online folks who want to contribute.  All the contributions will go towards software and upkeep for tutorials.  I plan on doing some traditional ones and digital.  So here's the button.
This is my way of trying to keep it all free for the art community.
 If you have the means and the desire, click away.

If not, no worries, I still heart you

Either way, the tutorials will happen, this is just a way to hopefully get it all done faster.
Here's to an awesome 2013!

Cheers,

Bean
