Good day to you all, I thought I had procrastinated for long enough without posting anything here, so there...

A detail:

The first page of a comic book experiment where I have no idea where I'm going... that's the concept you seeee...

and a little work in progress

Hope you like it
Take all good care of yourselves.

**Amazing Action Ape** · February 22nd, 2007, 09:36 PM

**light** · February 22nd, 2007, 09:50 PM

Mary fuckin MacGillicutty!
:sigh:
When the day's long, the eyes burning and unfocused, the brow dropped down around the way a Neanderthal would hang, and the wacom stylus has worn a new callous on a screamingly cramped hand, its a friggin joy to look and see how effortless and astoundingly sweet you make the whole process seem.
Bless you sir.

**the black frog** · February 22nd, 2007, 10:11 PM

Thanks for the feed back people. I'm glad you like the flashy color experiment of the first one

**Zord** · February 22nd, 2007, 10:55 PM

oh man this is awesome in the true-est sense of the word. The color palette is really unique... saved!

**blacky** · February 22nd, 2007, 11:28 PM

ohh,.....
now that's why they call you a legend

First time I am seeing your works, and I'm in awe. Specially about last one, topic is up to date, despite having little of action going on, there's a ton of thought and little, spot on details in it. I'm not sure how far you where realizing it, but I'd say one could write whole novels about last one. Comic is verry intriguing too (great perspectives). Value the originality on colour and playfullness (looseness) of brushwork in general too.

**Hao Wu** · February 22nd, 2007, 11:36 PM

nice nice always inspiring black frog~ hehe i still remember ur Monkey king tutorial, enjoyed that one as much as these ones. =) cant wait to see more. First image is really fun to look at, I believe you must had alot of fun doing it as well. Proportion, rythm are all handled very well, char and bg harmonize greatly. cheers~

**strych9ine** · February 23rd, 2007, 10:05 AM

You really need to post more, these are fantastic. Crazy ass color palettes and strokes to die for.

**sourgasm** · February 23rd, 2007, 11:37 AM

i love these. they remind me of glen barr, who is also fucking fantastic.

i can't believe the color intensity on a few of those. absurd.

**Orifice** · February 23rd, 2007, 02:45 PM

**Wasker** · February 24th, 2007, 08:14 AM

Wow, dynamite stuff Black frog

a pleasure to see.

**Jason Snair** · February 24th, 2007, 08:43 AM

The Black Frog! He posts!

Love your colors...they're subdued, they're rich, they're different. I'm rightclicking these just study them more later.

Oh. Love the comic concept...looks cool. And the Superman is killer. I'd buy a comic of that if it was all done by you.

**se7en_** · February 24th, 2007, 09:38 AM

I swear you and Dan Milligan are cut from the same cloth. You have this stacatto, freeform approach but still seam to nail just the right amount of detail. The Superman piece is a riot, I think we all have days like that : )
