Green Lantern #40 In Stores!

Written by Geoff Johns; Art and cover by Philip Tan and Jonathan Glapion; Variant cover by Rodolfo Migliari

"Agent Orange" part 2! The prelude to "The Blackest Night" continues as the war of light explodes across the Vega System. It's the Green Lantern Corps vs. the bizarre Orange Lantern Corps led by the most disgusting, filthiest, vilest being in the universe. But now that Agent Orange has been disturbed, what does that mean to the rest of the universe? Plus, John Stewart battles alongside his newest ally...Fatality?

We were a bit rushed on the issue so I did the best I could with the time given.

HULK UPDATE...

So here's the Finishes I did over Philip Tan's roughs, Some of it works for me some of it bugs the hell out of me. The goal is the more I do the better i get so I guess i'll have to take the good with the bad. I'll be inking this so I can at least use the confidence I have in my inking ability to make up for what i'm lacking in my pencilling.

To be continued......

Hulk Finishes

Here's a little WIP of a Hulk commission. Philip Tan wanted to play around with helping me work on my pencilling skills, so to kick things off he's doing roughs and I'll be doing pencil and ink finishes. The process is fun and a much needed break from my every day inking duties. I think the more of these we do the strong our work will become in the long run.

A labor of love

My favorite little artist working on one of five sketches for the day. It's funny to just sit back and watch her work and at 17 months she knows how to get in the chair and turn on the Cintiq. She gets so involved in her work it's the funniest thing to see and she really pulls off some nice shapes. She rarely scribbles the way I would imagine a little kid her age would. I try to let her do this at least every other day, deadlines permitted of course.

Green Lantern #39 SNEAK PEEK...

We'll it's been forever since my last post, I really need to work on the blogging thing. With that said this should be a good start. Since the end of Final Crisis Revelations I've been pretty busy working with Philip Tan fine tuning our new look. We wanted to go for something a little more texturally interesting. So our journey has lead us to realize we both have a lot of the same art appreciations. We both have a strong love for the works of Sergio Toppi and for me one of my favorites Travis Charest (the spacegirl stuff is amazing).

It don't come easy and it comes at a heavy price at times (less sleep). The beginning is always rough when it comes to an inker trying to read a penciller, there a lot of back and forth on what works and what doesn't. The new look is more about how my lines are gathered and how values and tones are created with the use of flat line weights. I'm not going for that design cool looking line thingy, whatever the hell that is. What I find to be the most fun is the challenge of not falling back into those old habits. For the first time in my career I feel like I am truly collaborating with another artist and what I do really does matter. We aren't 100% where we want to be but we're on the right track.
