New Pages and One Ah Crap!

Finished page 7 this week, and it was a real struggle. I finally figured out what my problem was. I was trying to stuff ten pounds of story in a five pound sack.

I dropped the last two frames and it worked. Unfortunately, that also led me to make a mistake. I got a email today from the writer who pointed out I used a panel where the Templar has both hands, in spite of having his right hand cut off on Page4.

I quickly switched to the correct fame. Damn working late.

Legend of the Ninja Knight Page 4

Uploaded page four today.

In this panel, the Muslim commander orders the sword hand of the Knight Templar cut off.

Last weeks panel was tough, it was mainly a set up for todays. Today there is more action and I found it somewhat easier to complete, but still had some real debates on how to portray the action.

Page Three Legend of the Ninja Knight

This week’s panel was really difficult for me. For the most part, it's a set up for page four. Lots of dialogue, which is much harder to portray than action, but maybe more important.

So what happens on page four, guess you'll have to wait until next week.

The graphic novel is now live on the internet!

Back at It

Today we went up to Big Bear for a little hike in the mountains. I hate to admit it, but I must be getting old. It was pretty hot, and the uphill parts of the climb had me breathing heavy. Maybe it was just the thin air. Sure.



Anyway, like I said in my last post, I have been busy; I can finally talk about what I have been up to. I have been working on a Graphic Novel with a writer in Northern California. The story is called “The Legend of the Ninja-Knight” and is a kind of semi-historical myth.
The Novel will be on a WEB site starting on July 12, with a new page every week. The site is www.thelegendoftheninjaknight.com.

The Brewery

I was looking at the blog the other day, and I was feeling pretty bad about not posting for so long. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say; it’s that I’m so darn busy. Unfortunately, much of what is in progress, I can’t talk about yet. Oh, well, so goes life.

Today we took some time off and went to the Brewery Art Walk in Los Angeles. It was really pretty nice, some real good work, as well as some that I didn’t care for.

The art walk is held twice a year, if you’re headed to LA, I would check it out.
