The Path gets a facelift

So, in preparation of Diamond-ness, I've been going back to old pages of The Path and gussying them up a bit. Adding the crosshatching I've been using lately, and in some cases, replacing panels that I didn't like. Then, it hit me:

I don't really like ANY of my old pages. Like, at ALL.

If I'm not too fond of them, I could only imagine what people in shops nation-wide would think. Don't get me wrong, The Path's selling well...but I've grown into the style I set out to do it in. The pages from issues 4 and 5 are way better than the pages in issues 1-3.

So I started redrawing them. ALL of them. Below is a "Before and after" example of what I've been doing. This is also giving me the chance to tweak some issues I've come across in the story now that I have the advantage of hindsight. I think that you'll agree that the new version is going to kick all kinds of ass. ALL. KINDS. OF. ASS. Yes, even THAT kind.

Antisocial: Cat Toss

So, while I was at A-kon, my roommates bought a kitten. I'm not the biggest fan of cats, but the little fucker is cute. My favorite game to play with the kitten is throwing it across the room at the couch, and she sticks to it like a little, squeaking velcro ball, then comes running back over. Well, my roommate Heidi walked in on my game and, well...

Art Stuffs

A redraw of a commission I did at A-kon. I really liked it, and was sad to part with it. So I redid it:


The sign I had up at the booth during A-Kon, which will now come to every convention:


Finally, drawing for Hawk and today's filler at The Path:

Antisocial: Spanish Ladies

This is actually from a conversation I had with Ananth yesterday. Poor Hawk.

Ananth and Hawk appear courtesy of the extremely awesome Applegeeks.com. If you don't read it, you deserve to be shot in the face.

A-Kon Shout-out of DOOM! or: Ia! Ia! A-kon Ftgagn!

So, seriously. A-Kon was awesome. They're stuck with me for life now. So are THESE ridiculously cool people and their equally awesome comics!

Ananth and Hawk! (these guys fucking rule)
Heidi and Micha! (both of whom are hawt and crazy!)
Mookie!(a fellow Lovecraftian!)
Jenny Breeden! (three-day long rubber band fight)
Xero!

Last, but certainly not least...my unfortunate publisher and erstwhile boss-lady Juno!

Special mentions definitely go to Lindsey, Sam, and Aaron!

I should do a more in-depth post...but you can go check out my posts at both Mediocre Militia and my Myspace page. Because I'm f'ing lazy. And at work.
