The 7th Circle of Coloring Madness (Patreon)

Greetings Patrons! I hope this message finds you and your families safe and healthy in these bizarre times. Attached to this post is a look at four more pages of my upcoming Dante's Inferno: The Coloring Book to soothe the nerves and  lift the spirits.

I'm probably a week or two away from finishing it, which is a month behind schedule annoyingly. But as you can see, the pictures are very complicated and I chose to pour in as much detail for coloring as I could. Converting shading and background fog into coloring lines is harder than one might think!!

Every page from the Gustave Doré illustrated version of Dante Alighieri's Inferno is included and converted into coloring book page format!! His original art is included too for reference.

While I certainly can't take credit for Doré's remarkable illustrations and composition, converting his engravings into line drawings was no easy feat and I'm really pleased with the 98% completed book. I hope that many of you, and many other readers/artists, will enjoy finding new and creative ways to add color to this outrageous work of art.

Otherwise I don't have too much else to report. When this is completed I have plans to get back to my space manga, some other oddball coloring books, and with any luck (depending on time), Magnum Skywolf 2 and a few other original art projects. 

Keeping busy! I hope you have a great holiday season and stay safe. See you soon with more stuff,

Mark
