Here, you'll follow me on the journey of developing my comic art, illustration and eventually my own comic book ideas. I'll post character sketches, page layouts and finished artwork. Have a look around and enjoy!Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03493689451330022870noreply@blogger.comBlogger111100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830644639281335591.post-50479237180386685072009-05-03T08:38:00.000-07:002009-05-03T08:47:48.031-07:00OK, here we are with some rough sketches for my big Star Wars project that I've been working on for about...a long time.<br /><br />These are Princess Leia designs. She's kind of fun to draw. She can be sexy and have a lot of spirit and personality, so I'm just trying to find the pose that exhibits that best. <br /><br />Any thoughts?<br /><br />Click to Bigify.<br /><br /><a href="http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs42/i/2009/121/7/f/Star_Wars_Sketch_Dump_Part_1_by_Mordok.jpg"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.com/fs42/300W/i/2009/121/7/f/Star_Wars_Sketch_Dump_Part_1_by_Mordok.jpg"></img></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Enjoy!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3830644639281335591-5047923718038668507?l=goldenagechronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03493689451330022870noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830644639281335591.post-39474440009436941992009-04-22T15:45:00.000-07:002009-04-22T15:48:25.342-07:00Hey, all. Just wanted to post a quick message that this is a new beginning for my blog. I took a bit of a hiatus for personal reasons, but now I'm back in action. <br />I have some new stuff to post and I'll be making regular updates, so don't jump ship just yet. <br />I haven't gone anywhere, really, just floating around making sure things are in order.<br /><br />So, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3830644639281335591-3947444000943694199?l=goldenagechronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03493689451330022870noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830644639281335591.post-81435319602541729632008-04-18T16:12:00.001-07:002008-04-18T23:49:47.797-07:00I forgot to pick up some things while I was out the other day...I need a notebook to write down story ideas and a little, pocket-size sketch diary (so I can jot down story and character ideas when I'm on the road and I don't have access to the comfort of home) and some 4H pencils for layout duties.<br /><br />I cleared off my drawing table and reorganized it a bit to make it more conducive to the creative process. In turn, I've been using it, though I've been having to drag a chair downstairs...I need to get a new office chair that I can use instead.<br /><br />I'm not getting as much back for my taxes as I'd hoped...I was planning on using part of that for supplies and such...I guess I'll have to make the best of it then.<br /><br />Til next time...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3830644639281335591-8143531960254172963?l=goldenagechronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03493689451330022870noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830644639281335591.post-6662426128285385212008-04-14T17:39:00.001-07:002008-04-14T17:42:35.202-07:00I'm just trying to get my drawing groove back...just been doing some exercises to get back in the zone...<br />I have some drawing ideas, but so far, they're not really coming out as well as I want them to...so, I just need to doodle til I get it right...<br /><br />I'm gonna buy a notebook to take with me along with my sketchbook, so that when I get an idea for a scene, I can write it out, possibly with dialogue and I can do some layout sketches to go along with it...it'll definitely slow the process of getting anything down to publish, but I think it'll be beneficial in the end because I won't be impatient and just rush to get something done...<br /><br />Stay tuned...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3830644639281335591-666242612828538521?l=goldenagechronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03493689451330022870noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830644639281335591.post-74141415839837317732008-04-10T11:23:00.000-07:002008-04-10T11:27:55.554-07:00So, I had an idea about writing this comic...I should just write certain scenes as they come to me, make a folder, then when I have what I need, put it all together and fill in the gaps as I go along...<br /><br />I think that sounds logical, don't you?<br /><br />I'm also trying to get back to my older, more stylized style of drawing. I've been pulling away from that lately, and it just looks like everything else out there, so I've been doodling and sketching trying to get my groove back...I'm going to finish the pieces I started and I'll post them later, but while I'm doing that, I'm trying to regain my mojo...<br /><br />Stay Tuned...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

will be updating over here more often...<br /><br />I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on this darn comic since I last posted...I had that crappy, full-time job with the wonky hours that really inhibited any kind of free time I thought I may have...Once I started school, it all went downhill and, long story short, I have no job now...but, I'm still in school...so, I'm gonna try and juggle that with finding a job and working on the comic site...I hope to have made some considerable progress by the end of summer and hopefully have something ready to go by the end of the year...<br /><br />So, I'll still be posting art and story updates, so look for those...<br /><br />See you on the other side...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

started some writing...going pretty well...I have the prologue and some character notes...still working on a few names though...those are tougher than one would think...sheesh...<br /><br />Haven't done any sketches yet...I want to get the plot written down first...just a rough draft is all I need for now...then I can transcribe it and start making my changes...<br /><br />I have some ideas for the look of the site, but I need to figure out how to use Dreamweaver first...best go to the store and find a book or something...<br /><br />Update over.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img

so it's been a while...I've been "creatively constipated" the last few months...I push and push for ideas, but nothing comes out...<br /><br />Well, something finally popped out...<br /><br />I've started working again on a classic project that's been in development for about 15 years...<br /><br />I've begun to write an official treatment/synopsis of the story that I can submit for copyright and use to write the scripts and eventually get to the artwork...then it all goes online...it shouldn't take me too long to finish writing the treatment...submitting for copyright takes months...Last time I did it, it was about 6 months...so, this is a slow, painful process, but hopefully it'll pay off in the end.<br /><br />So, the treatment is moving along pretty quickly...mostly because I've developed the majority of the story in my head for the last 15 years, so I pretty much know everything that happens, save for a few minor areas...<br /><br />I still need some characters names...they've changed significantly over the years...the original names I had just won't work anymore...they were just silly and the wrong tone for the store that it has become now...<br /><br />So, that's where I am...I have most of the characters designed...a couple still need work...so, just some final character designs and finalize some names for a few key characters and then we'll be rollin' on...<br /><br />It's nice not to be constipated...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

so I think I'm going to work on all my comics and update them here instead of just the one...I have so many that I want to finish, but progress is slow...I figure I'll get more done if I work on all of them at once...<br /><br />So, I'll be jumping around, but I'll give them all code names so you can follow along...<br /><br />I gotta get these things done...I'll just start with whichever one I get done first...heh<br /><br />I'm doing some artwork that I'll be posting here shortly....keep an eye out...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

I'm getting the story notes down on paper finally...I'm making good progress, actually...getting about a page or 2 down a day...getting the main story points down...<br /><br />The next step after I'm done will be to type it out into a more formal rough draft treatment...then I can go through and fix all the plot holes and redundant points...<br /><br />Been doing some sketches for characters...will finish those and post them soon...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

to the first installment of the Golden Age Diaries! <br /><br />Here, I'll be showcasing my latest comic book endeavour, tentatively titled "Golden Age Warriors"...Yes, I'm not entirely satisfied with this title, so I'm working on a new one...it's just not top priority right this minute as I haven't even written a single line of story yet...it's still just all in my head...<br /><br />And that's where this blog comes in...I'll be posting updates on the progress of the development of the comic from conception to final publish...which will be online at first and then, God-willing, I'll be able to publish it in paper form...but that's a long ways down the road...baby steps, Brian...<br /><br />I'll be posting updates on character developments, story ideas and artwork for the project...<br /><br />I hope you enjoy the trip! Please feel free to leave any comments on what you see, good or bad...<br /><br />Let's get rollin'!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3830644639281335591-5241629239657650955?l=goldenagechronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03493689451330022870noreply@blogger.com1
