WIP Wednesday--Progress Report 22.02.23 (Patreon)

Thought I'd take a few minutes to update you with all that I've got going on right now.

Commissions:  I've got three in the queue, all in some level of production.  The first--a three stage mini-TF featuring an alternate version of the world's most famous super-hero, should be finished by this weekend, and has been my focus over the last week.  Flat colors are in and now I'm working on the color details.  It's a basic color project, so some simple renders and backdrop and it'll be good to go.  

The second is the largest project--a six stage premium color Hulkout featuring a very popular character from a non-marvel property!  I'm working on getting the final Hulk form for this sequence to the client's liking before diving into the sequence itself.  I'm hoping to finish that design work this weekend so I can shift my focus to that next week.  

Finally, there's a four stage premium sequence featuring an OC commissioned by one of her co-creators.  I had an inspiration for how to approach this one yesterday and so I sketched out just the roughest of layouts.  I won't be returning to that until at least the pencils on the big sequence is done.

I plan on posting these commissions about a month after delivery, unless the client gives me the go-ahead to post it sooner.  Speaking of which, the long delayed final commission from my previous batch--a color comic page--is scheduled to go up next month!    

Lunar Lady Found: The revival of my 12 stage full moon pinup sequence has been on the back burner since the second stage was completed.  I actually have the wolf form--the final stage--sketched out--and poses for all 12 stages done.  This weekend I'd like to rough in the anatomy on the remaining 9 stages and have that ready to go by the end of the month. Then, when March comes,  I'll work on the finished version of stage three.

CroMagna's Revenge:  This one will certainly be starting out slow, as I've really only got Wednesday mornings set aside for that.  Also, the first page is especially complicated as there are multiple characters, a van, and backgrounds.  I almost got the inking done today--I just need some more details on the van and I need to pencils in the hair and eyes on Dana in the last panel.  Then I can start adding flat colors, which is a much faster process.  You should see the results of that next week.  In the meantime, you can see the nearly completed inks above.  (Backgrounds are done after the main figures are colored, and that will be an especially lengthy process here.)

JennyBomb 2022: Work on the revival of my classic sequence resumes tomorrow.  I'm hoping to finish the next two panels.

And...? Still lots of unfinished projects I'd like to get to, but these are the priorities for now.  I mentioned a third Shulkout pinup and I'd like to see if I can have that ready for my annual "going green" St. Patrick's Day piece--we'll see.

These days my schedule is commissions Monday and Tuesday mornings, Cro Magna's revenge Wednesday mornings, and JennyBomb Thursday mornings.  My two big blocks for drawing are usually Friday afternoons and most Saturdays.  Saturdays are reserved for the most pressing projects, while Friday is more of a "free draw" day (unless my Saturday is going to be tied up with family commitments, as it was this past weekend).

I hope you've enjoyed this little insight into my process.  See you next Wednesday for the next report, and thanks as always for your support!
