Zuko’s Story comes out next Tuesday. If you can’t wait and want to learn more about it, listen to this podcast interview with the writers, Alison Wilgus and Dave Roman conducted by The Avatar Portal. It sheds a lot of light on how hard we all worked to bring to the Airbender TV show fans [...]
Airbender cover released
Posted in Airbender, artwork, behind the scenes, comics, Uncategorized, tagged airbender, art, behind the scenes on March 30, 2010 |
The cover I did for The Last Airbender Prequel: Zuko’s Story is up. Amazon.com listing I’d like to talk a little about my own process for illustrating the comic. Because film environment shots were limited and the prequel covers many locations seen in the cartoon but not the movie (as of yet), many of the [...]
Yokaiden character sketches
Posted in artwork, behind the scenes, comics, sketches, Uncategorized, Yokaiden, tagged art, behind the scenes, sketches, yokaiden on December 9, 2009 |
While putting Yokaiden 1 together, I was asked by my editor Dallas if I’d like to include character designs and other concept sketches in the back. I declined, because that would mean having less room for actual content. Now that both books are out, I’m posting these never before seen character sketches I’m required to [...]

I’ve realized now that Yokaiden is out, I can stop being so secretive and start showing some behind-the-scenes stuff. I just finished doing some concept sketches for the cover of volume 2. They’re far nicer than the sketches I did for volume 1. When I do concept/layout sketches, they are 1) very small, and 2) [...]

Yokaiden WIP: Crooked Temple Some pages I’ve been working on for the second book. I finally bought a set of Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph technical pens, and they’ve been a life saver. Before, I used single-use disposable drawing pens, which was a bad idea for someone who inks as much as I do — the nibs wore [...]

progress report
Posted in behind the scenes, Uncategorized, tagged behind the scenes, yokaiden on November 4, 2007 |
I am currently working on Chapter 7 of Yokaiden — the final chapter of the first book, and I’m right on schedule. My work isn’t completely done after finishing this, though — I’m planning on doing a good amount of extra material. Everything (or nearly everything) should be done by the end of the month. [...]
the bongo comics job
Posted in artwork, behind the scenes, The Simpsons, tagged artwork, behind the scenes, bongo, simpsons on February 9, 2007 |
Working on the Simpsons manga is finally forcing me to learn how to draw children. I’ve always been really, really bad at drawing children. At last, Bart and Lisa look their age. I’ve finalized the general style I’ll be using for this. It’s like a mix of my style with that of Fujiko Fujio, which [...]
