Zenescope Entertainment's Grimm Fairy Tales #58

I was hired to do pencils for Zenescope Entertainment's Grimm Fairy Tales comic book series, which would be my first published work to be found at your local comic book store. Please go out and buy yourself a copy, please ;P 
The issue is Grimm Fairy Tales #58. I only did the pencils, it was written and colored by other very talented people. I've never read any of the other books of the series so it was a little tough to get into the universe and accurately depict the characters that many others have already defined. It was a great experience and I hope to have more published work to showcase. 

Below is page one.
Below is page two.
The x-es you see is where black is supposed to be. So imagine that the areas marked with an "x" is me "spotting blacks". I do that so I wouldn't need to spend time filling the area with pencil work. Other pages will have this, so please keep that in mind.


Below is page three.


Below is page four.


Below is page five.


Below is page fifteen. I decided to fill my blacks with a dark gray to show where I wanted to place blacks. 


Below is page sixteen.

Below is page seventeen.

Below is page eighteen.

Below is page nineteen.

Below is page twenty, one of my favorite pages of the issue. 


Below is page twenty-one.

Below is page twenty-two. 


If you enjoyed seeing these pages, please pick up an issue! I'll be doing some more work for  Zenescope, so I hope to posting up more work that I've done for them.

The Chip!


Here are some Chip pin-ups I did. Both are digitally drawn and colored in Adobe Photoshop. It's been fun working completely on the computer with my illustrations, it challenges me to try new stuff I'd otherwise avoid. Although it's becoming so ingrained in me to draw with the tablet and keyboard that when I want to erase while I'm drawing traditionally that I reach out to press control-z instead of reaching for my eraser. Weird, I know.
