Jam Tomorrow Color


There's a lot that I could go into when talking about the style and color I am trying to achieve with Jam Tomorrow. Unfortunately, to tumble down that hole would take time, and time is not something that I have a surplus of these days.  With the holidays around the corner, work, and trying to meet some self-imposed deadlines I am spread a little thin.

So instead of blabbing on and on about color and whatnot, I figure why not let the drawings speak for themselves.  The image attached is a color/texture study I've made. This is the direction I'd like to go with Jam Tomorrow.  Its been steadily evolving over the last few months but this is the style I'll be finishing the comics in.  Its simple to do which is good for keeping on schedule. 

A special thanks to all the returning visitors, your support is keeping me going.  To any new people stopping by today for the first time, thanks for taking a look at my work.  I hope you'll stick around.

TITLE UNKNOWN NO MORE

I've finally sorted out the tile of  my new comic.  Up until today I've been referring to it as my new comic.  Which is all well and good in the development phase, but I'm getting pretty darn close to publishing it and up until today I've had no idea what to call it.

More after the jump.

rough comic strip

When I started drawing these characters the first doodle I did was Swanson holding a skull doing the monologue from Hamlet while Vincent watched. For some reason this just cracks me up.

The two panels here are part of a full three panel strip that can stand alone as a joke but it also plays a part in a longer storyline that spans several days.

Vincent!

This little guy is Vincent. He's the other character in my new comic. When I was a weee little boy, a long time ago, my Aunt Sina wanted to purchase an outfit for me.  The perfect outfit for my first day of Kindergarten. When she asked me what I wanted to wear on my first day of school I replied, "I want to wear a three piece suit."

SWANSON!

This guys name is Swanson, and he's from a new comic I'm putting together. I have a bunch of strips roughed out and written and a few of them inked so far. When I have about 20 inked and colored I'll start posting them here a few times a week. For now I thought It would be fun to post a few sketches and development artwork. As always I'd love some feed back in the comments. Later dudes.
