Thumbnails for a new project

So, I got probably my biggest commission as of yet last week.  I can't talk about it much yet because it's not announced, but it's going to be my first international comic, and it's going to be released and distributed in May.  I'll let you know more, and see more, when I am allowed.  For now though, enjoy the thumbnailing process!!!!

MMD #1 w/ sketch cover!

Check it out!  The official post has been made.  De'vo has decided to do a reprint of the first issue of MMD with a customizable sketch cover on the back.  There is no release date yet, but I'll keep you posted when I know!  Check out the official post from Xtreme Handz here: http://www.xtremehandz.com/catalog/item/1177704/9554633.htm

Magicians Must Die

So, MMD #2 is coming along nicely.  We are approaching the printing deadline for release at this year's Denver Comic Convention.  The art is finished, just working on the box layout and such.  This is a color test for an alternate cover for MMD #1.  We are using the image, just not the color.   And there is a very good reason for that...more coming on THAT soon.

MMD #2 Teaser

This is a short preview for MMD #2, which is releasing May 31st at Denver Comic Con. You can also see the official announcement at the facebook page of De'vo, the writer and creator.

MMD #2! and ECCC

So, we are working hard on the second installment of MMD for Denver Comic Con coming up at the end of May.  These two characters are the supporting character and the main villain of this issue.  This will become a theme as more decks are produced.  Of course, to do that, we gotta SELL these!  Will keep you informed on release dates and such.
Also, off to Emerald City Comic Con!  It's my first time at the Convention and it's been a LONG time since I've been to Seattle.  I am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new connections!

MMD #2 and Appearances

I apologize about the lack of artwork lately, I have been running hard towards a deadline at the end of the month.  I am putting up a quick post today to talk about upcoming appearances and such.  First of all:  I'll be at Emerald City Comic Con coming up at the end of the month.  I am not tabling, but I'll be around, follow my twitter feed to see where I am.
I'll also be at Denver Comic Con this year with Handlordz, LLC.  Check out my post on the website here: http://www.denvercomiccon.com/2013/jay-peteranetz/  And that's all for now, art coming soon from MMD #2

Toothy 3: Colors

Here are the final colors.  The images came out pretty well I think.  Anyone with thoughts?  I'll be putting up lettering tomorrow.

Toothy Flats...prelim

So, for the latest installment of The Adventures of Toothy, I decided I'd show the process of coloring.  First step for a colorist, after getting the prepared scans from the inker/publisher, is to flat the drawing.  This creates flat planes of color for the colorist to select and render.  This is a separate layer in photoshop and can be used as a safety net if the colorist screws up.

Comics: Grade Four

In my opinion, one of the best comics on the list.  This is a great book for fourth grade, not only because they are getting introduced to superheroes in everyday media and cartoons, but because their sense of humor can appreciate the superhero humor and parody in this book.  Check out the review: G-Man

More Comic Recommendations: Grade 3

Once again, Grant Thomas of Making Visual Narratives has been nice enough to put up my third grade comic recommendation on his site.  Check it out: Mo and Jo

More Toothy Coming soon...it's a secret

Hey all, over the next couple of days I'll have the third installment of The Adventures of Toothy ready for Comfort Dental...but shhh...it's a secret.  NOT REALLY!

More GrailKnights

So, the Grailknights (a melodic Superhero Metal Band) in Germany have a new drummer.  He is the same character as before, but a new person is drumming for them.  So, I was able to just change the head on the drawing...ahhh, the beauty of photoshop.  And next is replacing him on the T-shirt.
