Coloring Frank’s Next Mission
Forgot to set the timer, but this feels like 2 hours of work. First image is stage one flat coloring in progress (haven’t touched title, credits, or last panel). Second image is the color flatted file I started with.
The primary purpose of this Tumblr account is to support Inky Stories (www.inkystories.com), my web comics collection. Genres for my self-contained short stories include satire, horror, smut, sci-fi and crime fiction. In addition, I'll also promote comics history, current artists and collect Tumblr posts: politics and retro-smut. Ask me anything!
About Me
I've been published by Fantagraphics Books, SpiderBaby Graphix and FantaCo Enterprises. More recently, my work appears in Inbound and Outbound, anthologies published by the Boston Comics Roundtable.
This happened in five years.
Perfecting my 64-color dot emulation technique.
Adjusting my faux-Silver Age comic book art against the actual comics. Elements include opacity, blurring, channel manipulation, hue/saturation & levels, and more accurate newsprint mimicking.
“If I’d known I was going to live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself.”
Eubie Blake (1887–1983)
The Surfer driven insane by 17 issues of being written by Stan Lee. He’s ranting at no one, blaming “fate” for his own actions like a super-powered incel.
Color flatted from 3:00pm - 5:10pm. Most of the colors flatted. Thinking of coloring the big panel old school (Ben Day dots, newsprint texture, etc.) There’s probably another hour or two of flatting to be done here.
It took me 2 hours, 44 minutes to color flat this page. Clearly I’m not a professional.
The hand lettered resume is coming along.
Who’d be crazy enough to hand letter his resume? #handlettering #amesletteringguide #resumeinsanity #rottenkidpress #marshallartstudio
