Project Zero: page one and two

I found some coyote references and finished page one last night. Learned that I can't draw four legged animals worth crap. Guess I need more animals in my comics. Also wrote some more of the story.

Project Zero: Page Two

Yesterday I wrote a short story while checking e-mail and women at The Pharmacy Cafe. Then I went home and drew a couple pages of it. Woke up this morning and painted page two. I'm calling it "Project Zero". I still need a coyote reference to finish page one:

Parking Lot Tribal

This is a one page comic depicting some sort of chase that culminates in a standoff between a post-civilization huntress and a band of red monsters in the parking lot of a Wal Mart in ruins. I think it fails as a good example of sequential art, but I like how the female character turned out. I'd like to further develop the idea of one page stories/comics, as it seems to fit my busy schedule and short attention span.

The White DOT

I've started building a set of Flash game programming tutorials at work, and am designing unique splash screens with original art for each tutorial. This one depicts The White DOT (Destroyer of Timelines), standing on top of the ruins of a Flash ui timeline. DOT is a robot wizard from the event driven worlds, and represents freedom from Flash timeline dependency.

Infection

A few months ago I got pretty sick. Perotid glands in my neck stopped working. I drew this on a whim the day before I started getting sick. A couple weeks later, I realized that it was a perfect illustration of my infection. The invaders are even going for his head/neck. I just scanned and painted the drawing in Photoshop last night.
