Vampire Comic Book Art, Pen & Digital painting

Chronicles Nocturnum

This is a vampire hunter comic project I worked on a few years back. A writer paid me to do all the line art and coloring. It was a hell of a project!
I take my hat off to comic book artists as I know how much blood, sweat, and tears goes into the making of a comic.

Here is the cover. Drawn with pen & ink and painted on Photoshop with my Wacom tablet.

In some ways, I prefer the plain ink drawing.

Here are the comics. The writer must have sold them at a few comic conventions.

This is one of the first pages. I can post more of the comic of people are interested.

That's Wendy Markland, the vampire hunting protagonist. Guess she's a bit like Buffy... I'm actually not too happy with the way I drew her. I could do a much better job now. I am however, really pleased with my digital painting on this picture. I really went to town on the pixel painting. I used lots of tricks on the old Photoshop CS. The smudge and dodge tools worked really well.

Hope you liked that little blast from the past. Let me know what you think.
I'll be working on some new art for Steemit soon. I just have to move into a new place now but I'll be illustrating when I get time. Thanks for dropping by!

Neato! How long did you work on this project?

Oh gosh, it took over three months. I was the only artist and an inexperienced comic maker. I would do it differently now and much faster.

Well, it looks great for your first endeavor! Are copies still on the market? I wouldn't mind owning one for my collection if they are still floating around!

I'm not sure to be honest but I'll link you the writers websites. I think He's actually from Florida.

Hell yeah! Thank you!
And today, my Amazon wishlist grows even longer.

Let me know if you actually get that comic.

I will! Maybe if I do, would you be willing to sign it if I sent it to you? Because that would be REALLY cool.

Hmm, keep in mind I live in the UK. But yeah maybe I could. See if you can buy one from Scott.

hi where the comic is publish would you help me to be comic artis?! thank you for your attention.

Ha! Well I'm not even sure it WAS published. I believe he just sells it. I don't know as it was five years ago.
