Hello all! Marc here with an unshaven update for all of you. This week we got back on the horse, so-to-speak, Matt and I had a studio night on Friday evening. Suffice to say, it was a long time coming. We even took pictures for proof! Of course I haven't figured out how to load them in here just yet, but as soon as I do, well, heck, I'll post em!
So, what exactly did we accomplish since last we spoke? Well, let's break it down, one Unshaven Guy at a time.
Kyle worked on his scripting for "Chasing Daylight" this week. His goal? To add a creepy flair to the villain of the piece. Not giving away any plot here folks... but suffice to say, Kyle's making sure that the evil that lurks within our pages will haunt your nightmares for years to come. He's just pages away from finishing his second draft of final script!
Matt roughed out 3/4th of the remaining Ironside pages, including an explosive two page spread! During the studio night, Matt inked up the beginning to the final sequence of the story! Ironside is coming together quickly, and it's gonna be an action packed romp!
I finished the coloring on page 21 for Chasing Daylight, as well as began work on page 20... Not to get into too much gory detail on it, but for each page I do final color, it begins with a process setting the page up, and applying a gritty border to the panels, to enhance the "creepier" aspects of the story. I'm working backwards on these pages, since I admit I was getting fatigue working through the latter half of the book. Since there are really cool parts on the last pages, I chose to do them first. Half because I know they are harder to complete, and half because well... it's just damn fun to do the "creepy" parts, he he he he.
The last thing to update you guys on is our own schedule. Matt and I have committed to doing 1 studio night a week together. It makes things move quicker, and we really do better when working in the studio as a team. It also helps us have SOMETHING to say on this production blog!
So, for this week out for Kyle to finish his 2nd draft of the script, Matt to finish 1-2 pages of inks, and Marc to finish page 20 by studio day. With any luck, final coloring could actually be completed by the end of next weekend... Leaving only lettering for "Chasing Daylight"! As always, we'll keep you posted.
Also, before we go... PLEASE look us up on Facebook. We've made a fan page, and we really want to take count of those who like our work. If we reach 150 fans by the end of the week, we'll be posting some fun sketches for you all. Take care, and remember not to shave!
