American Sentinels #3

(See HSQ)

More coloring work for HERITAGE COMICS HSQ.

AMERICAN SENTINELS features a group of "patriotic" themed heroes working for the government to stop trouble around the world.

Having already colored a set of pin-ups, I found myself suddenly working on the last 6 pages of the 3rd issue. Apparently the colorist who did the first 15 pages had dropped out without warning. I managed to get the rest of the book finished in just 8 days.

HSQ (heart, soul & quality) is an anthology showcasing various character and series. Andre Campbell got me to color a pair of wrap-around covers. On these you can see Webspynn and Rebel 3.

Two things I really tried to do here were, one, to use as little white as possible, so that the white I did use would draw your eye, and two, to use only 50% black or gray in all covers, so that it never gets too dark that you can't see the colors you're looking at, and so that it doesn't obscure the actual black lines.

Rebel 3

Here's pages from a brand-new comic from HERITAGE COMICS HSQ in Baltimore, MD, entitled REBEL 3. Publisher Andre Campbell says he loves my "old school" coloring style, and hopes to keep me very busy!

REBEL 3 is a team of superheroes whos adventures are set sometime in the future (just my speed, being a fan of both LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES and NEXUS, not to mention my own series, STORMBOY). It consist of H.A.L. (the yellow-and-green android), The Wall (who reminds me somewhat of Samuel L. Jackson), Morning Light (the group's "answer" to Wonder Woman, perhaps?), and Cold Fire (who reminds me a bit of Roxann Dawson).

I don't know who colored the first 10 pages, but I had a lot of fun with the ones I did. As of this writing, I'm still looking forward to seeing the printed comic!

GRUB Animations

In 2005, after doing the 3D model work for Nick Cuti's MOONIE book, he contacted me about another project. He was working on a low-budget live-action direct-to-video film of "GRUB", a short story he'd written for Warren's EERIE magazine (illustrated by Tom Sutton) way back in the late 60's.

Nick supplied some extremely-detailed drawings for me to turn into 3D models. Getting details about the story and how the various "sets" would be used and how they related to each other was more of a challenge. A good example is how the entire "main hallway" was built some months before he told me there needed to be a "lift" (elevator" that came out right in the middle of it, and that the other end of the thing would be where the docking bay for the other spaceship would be! (It really helps going into a project if everyone can be on the same page.)

The bridge of the "Deep Blue Sea" (DBS)

Here's the main hallway of the alien spaceship, "Beelzebub".

Here's the animations that actually got used in the film!

01 - DBS
02 - Fly-By Ext.
03 - Fly-By Bridge
04 - Fly-By Side
05 - DBS Docking
06 - DBS Docking
07 - DBS Docking
08 - Beelzebub Lift
