Pigma Micron Markers on Canson Comic Book Board.

I was asked by an online friend/client to do a sample comic book page for a project that he has in the works. I did so, and this is the result. This page has NOTHING to do with the actual project...it was JUST an exercise to see what I could do. I did it pencil to finished inks in less than a day. A fair schedule I think. I'm not 100% happy with it, but the client seemed to like it well enough. There is NO money in the project up front, but it might be a fun part time job with a little cash in the future if it happens. So now I must decide if I want to do a portion of a full comic book so he can submit it to a few independent publishers to see if he gets any nibbles.
Way back in the 80s, I did one issue of a comicbook during the 80s Comics Glut, when there were just too many new comics for the market to support. That was about the last time I did an serious comic work. When I decided to do this page one BIG difference I noticed between doing comics in the 80s and doing comics today is the INTERNET! Today you can find photo ref in an instant! Back in the 80s I had to photograph myself any and all reference that I needed, then wait for the film to be developed. How times have changed!
