Valentine Collection

Valentine will be collected into a fat 250 pg graphic novel of eps 1-8. The digital version will be available via Comixology and Robot Comics (more news on that when it's available).

Meanwhile, here is the epub cover process...

EPUB-Cover-Ink
(original ink and "washes". The "scorpian tail" appears at the request of the author...I like the addition of it. The final art was done on marker composite paper with sumi ink and gray prismacolor markers.)

Val-epub-flat
(finished PS color)


A printed version will be made available in the months to come. Meanwhile, if you want to check out Valentine on your computer,Comixology now has it for download on your desktop/laptop!

These versions are still set up for iPhone (1 panel per page). The graphic novel has been laid out in standard comic format.

3 props!:

  1. So good! I really like how you kept Val warm and rendered compared to the monster. The Napoleon pose is great.

  2. Thanks for showing the process. I like how the ink lines of the tree form in the background were inverted. Nice stuff.

    I followed your link through the Philadelphia Cartoonist blog, by the way.

  3. Awesome! I was never able to successfully download the comics beyond the free issues. Beautiful illustration.
