Holiday Commission update and FVZ number 9

So December is here and it's flying by already. There is so much going on right now that my head is spinning. It's all good things and it's great to be busy working doing stuff that I love and would probably still do even if it wasn't my job.

Any how, My wife ,Peng and I are having our Holiday Commission sale and it is still going strong so if u are in the mood for a commission for yourself or as a present for someone else now is the time to hit me up. The sale will continue until December 17th. For more info just click here or just e-mail me @ jerry@identitycomics.com
My prices are at half price until then so hit me up.

SO the big news right now is that my first Fanboys vs Zombies Cover is about to hit stores next week. I couldn't be more excited. Seeing my art on a cover in a comic shop is a dream come true. SO next week get on out there and pick up the book. you won't be disappointed.

So in honor if my first cover I'm posting the cover to issue 9 here and also sharing a look at the cover to issue 10 (I did that one too!) Again, with Awesome colors by Gabriel Casata. That guy is off the hook.

More Fanboys Vs Zombies

So issue 8 came out this month and I wanted to share some of the art process that I go through. I always think it's cool to see how other artists make their work happen so I figure I should join in the fun.

FVZ #8 pg 2 rough by Me

 The script just said that Gorillas had broken out into a fight with the zombies and I was like ok, what is the grossest way I can come up with to kill a zombie. This just popped into my head. Later as I was working up the sketch it reminded me of that classic Hulk vs Wolverine page and I decided to really go for an homage I guess.

FVZ pg 2 inks by Me

 The inks are pretty straight forward I think. I wanted to experiment with spot blacks because I don't use them that much and I figured I would give it a shot.

FVZ #8 pg 2 colors Mirka Andolfo

 I think Mirka did a great job on the colors.

 

FVZ #8 pg 3 rough by Me

 This page was all about a dope action splash for Amanda. She is one of my favorite characters and I just wanted her diving in head first to kick some butts

FVZ issue # 8 pg 3 inks by me

When I got to the inks on this one I realized I really wasn't feeling Amanda's face so I had to rework it to make her more on model. I loved drawing the drooling zombi in the forground.

FVZ #8 page 3 colors Mirka Andolfo

Again, I think Mirka did a great job on colors.

Don't forget my Holiday sale is in full swing. All my commission rates are cut in half. Now is a great time to hit me up if you are in the market for some original work. You can find more info here  .

Thanks for stopping by!

Finished inks to FVZ#9 art by Me!

the WV POP Con was crazy fun this past weekend. West Virginia really came out and showed us love. It was great meeting everyone and getting to chat with fans of Fanboys Vs Zombies. One of my favorite parts of the weekend had to be hanging out at the local pub for the afterparty Saturday night. If u ever find your self in WV go check out the Morgan Town Bury and treat yourself to a Triple.

Time is pretty tight right now so I wont have time to post the photos from the show yet, but once we get back from NY I'll have plenty to share.

Speaking of NY the New York Comic Con is just a couple days away and we r full steam ahead getting set to rock the Big Apple. Our tables are P3 and P4 in the Artist Alley . Plus I am doing a NYCC exclusive promo give away. Come by the table and say "WRECKING CREW 4 LYFE!" and I'll sketch up  a zombified version of you. Just one sketch per person please. So come on out and hang out with the me and the crew. The entire ID team will be in attendance PENG, FLASH, DOMO, and me. We'll have prints, books, commissions, and we'll be ready to rock. So come on through. It's gonna be off te hook!

Last of the Sketch Cards

Sketch cards for March of Dimes charity auction. He-Man and throwback TMNT

Walking Dead sketch cards by me

More Walking Dead cards by me

These are some sketch cards that I never got around to posting. Hope u all dig em.

Over the last few years I have worked on a bunch of sketch card sets. Sketch cards really played a big part in boosting my career as a pro artist. It gave me a chance to really get my work in the hands of fans and to work on properties that I have always loved and dreamed to work on. I have had the opportunity to draw every Marvel and Star Wars character I could ever want to draw, plus quite a few properties that I never thought I would draw.

The only down side had been that the pay for doing sketch card work really isn't great and you have to do so many of them that it's hard to make a sketch card gig worth while as far as keeping bills payed. The last couple of sets I worked on really came down to the wire to get them done and the stress just gets to be too much.

So for now, I'm gonna be saying goodbye to working on any big sketch card projects. It's kinda sad because there are still a lot of cool projects happening that I would like to work on, but with all the other projects I'm working on it just doesn't make sense.

I still have a bunch of Artist Proof cards from most of the more recent projects I've worked on so if anyone out there is looking for an original sketch card commission just give me a shout. Other than that though I'm gonna have to call it quits.
