I've been playing with a #procreate brush set by @TheKnifeSchool and getting some fun results. There's a learning curve as there is with any new tool, but once you dial it in they really sing. Give them a shot if you're looking for some great brushes to improve your works!
RAN INDIEGOGO CLOSES TOMORROW!
I am happy to announce that Ran: Revenge of the Warrior #1 is now complete and is in the final copy-editing and color correction phase. All color artwork, lettering, ads, covers, editorial pages and the flip book debut story, Michelle: Spectral Awakening #0 are now complete. Mindy Lopkin is ready to complete the final template-for-print files and send it off to Jostens!
Again, the campaign will CLOSE for good tomorrow evening on @EthanVanSciver's channel and this will be fans' last chance to get the debut of not just one but two future comic book super star characters, Ran AND Mortuary Michelle!

The nicest weather in the USA today is split between Chicago, IL, Billings, MT, and Ukiah, CA.
Canadian high pressure has dry air, light winds, and near empty skies for a Beautiful day. Most of the country lands Decent to Fair, just watch KS, TX, and NE for a Level 3 of 5 severe storm risk. The sun is strong, so grab the sunscreen and soak it up.
The most likely places in the USA to see a tornado tomorrow are around Denver, CO, Milwaukee, WI, and Colorado Springs, CO. This is a Level 1 risk for tornadoes.

Colorists used to work in flat colors that let the line art lead the way…
These days it looks to me like the colorist can render and transform the art into something completely different. I have seen stick men turned into the Sistine Chapel.
John Romita JR really does look best with just flats.
But you can’t do that now because most colorists feel like they need to do a lot of rendering, instead of servicing the art.
Especially since flatting is usually farmed out to other people for like $10-15/pg.
Thank goodness I found this wonderful and fun interview I had with the great and legendary @ArtThibert from last year!
Please go check it out, give it a listen while you're at work, running errands or cleaning around the house!
Hope to have Art come back soon!

Widow’s Bay…if you make it to episode 5 the rest is a good blend of quirky and scary. Apple streaming.
Paradise…loved it. Two seasons. Third is ordered. If I mention anything it spoils everything. 👍👍🔥. Hulu streaming.
