Hey! I just wanted to tell anyone who is interested that the comic book I'm working on will be officially announced at the San Diego Comic Con! Oni Press, my publisher, will be having a panel discussion of their upcoming books and mine will be one of them!

here's the info from the SDCC web site:

I have a feeling the new book is going to be pretty sweet. Good luck with everything, and congrats on the success.

**BRINKMAN!** · July 19th, 2009, 11:49 PM

Congrats to you Mr. Crook! I cannot wait to see what you've got in store for us.

I just went through this whole sketchbook and I must say this is quite inspiring. If you have any tips you could share please hit up my sketchbook and tell me what I need to get closer to this level of artistry. You are quite amazing. I have one word for you really, Swoon.

**Victor B** · July 20th, 2009, 02:03 AM

Oni! Thanks for the heads up while I won't be there I'll be sure to read the oni panel sumuries sure to be up on the "news" sites,cheers.

**IanE** · July 20th, 2009, 06:57 PM

This is such a good sketchbook, you have no idea. Really. You don't.

**super skoda** · July 28th, 2009, 01:45 AM

Bill: Thanks! It means a lot. I really hope it turns out good. I got plenty of time to screw it up so keep your fingers crossed!
BRINKMAN!: : Thanks! We have a plan for how it's all going to work out but its a very fluid process. I can't wait to see how it ends up either.
Pezz3D: : Thanks! I looked through your sketchbook but I haven't had time to comment yet. I'll get to it soon, I promise!
Victor B: : Thanks! Some times you have to look up "Oni Press" to find them.
IanE: : You shush!

So here are some of the pages that they released to the press. Now that it's legit I can start showing some stuff but not much.

The story is about the assassination or Grigori Rasputin, the Mad Monk, and it's pretty historically accurate. That means that Rasputin will be a bad-ass but he won't be shooting lasers out of his eyes of or turning into a 40 snake or anything like that. But I think it's a really interesting and exciting story anyway.

Can I be your Huckleberry?

**wookiedabo** · August 10th, 2009, 08:02 AM

lovely sketches sir, and the comic stuff looks fantastic, whens that coming out then?

**super skoda** · August 19th, 2009, 11:50 AM

Bill: No you cannot.
wookiedabo: Thanks! We are shooting for summer 2010. I'm a little over a third of the way through the art right now.

Here's a little doodle comic I've been working on for the last month or so. Basically, I would do a panel a day as a warm-up and made up the story as I went along.

OH MY GOSH!!! I haven't posted anything here since June! I am a BAD, BAD concept artist! But I'm going to get better, I swear.

Here are some doodles done with Brush, Ink and Watercolor.
