Oh dear! So. I had originally drawn the last comic and this one as a single, double-length page, like ones I’ve uploaded in the past. But I realized that to tell the story correctly, I needed to adjust the pace and add some additional material. My original aim was to close out this “chapter” at…Read more

Shots Fired
Uh oh! We’ve got quite the situation developing here ;) In coloring this comic, I opted for a scheme of tints and shades of four hues, organized this way: I guess you could look at it as an analogous scheme with a complementary accent (the cyan)… but in the comic the slightly violet red hue…Read more
Not-So-Hot Pusuit
Trying something a little different with lighting in this one–almost a “cell shading” approach. Let me know what you think! Also, I’m pretty happy with how the landscape came out.

The background is built up of analogous hues, centered on purple, and the characters are in a monochromatic scheme. I think this ends up giving the characters greater cohesion and…Read more
Do You Remember?
This double-length comic took a long time to draw, mainly because I wanted to establish the snowy background as realistically as I could. Narrative-wise, it was important to me that Rudek encounter Skorzany in a kind of liminal space (ask your English Major friends), which the wild and windy snowstorm is supposed to create here….Read more
