One of the “streeties” from my web comic BloodMachines, Dude. He just goes by whatever you call him. Mostly everyone calls him Dude. No one knows his given name. He hasn’t shared it with anyone…well there might be someone that he’s shared it with…

The final illustration with marker tones added. I’m a one man shop so everything I do has to have multiple lives, time is too short. So when I was invited to be a guest writer/artist at a local comic book shop last month, I wanted to give them a thank you. So I fast forwarded to an event in the future of The Silver Sparrow and had fun exploring it artistically for the first time. I very intentionally planned on using this piece for a print and “teaser” for the online web comic. Also I wanted to make sure I could blog about the steps in making it.

Inks for the aftermath illustration. These were completed right on the illustration board that the pencils were on. I use a mix of felt tip pens. I scanned these inks before I used design markers to tone the original piece.

Art print that I hope to have silkscreened for an upcoming comic con. It features one my web comic characters (maybe two!).
