new Wintergate piece

So in my effort to streamline my style, push line weights and utilize shapes as color in Illustrator, I came up with this new piece of the Wintergate cast.

Wintergate Crew shot

From left to right- Kintaro, Eli and Raiko. These are the 3 main characters in Wintergate, my creator owned story. I'll be updating the blog with pages from the comic soon.
This was drawn and toned in Illustrator, with a few textures from Photoshop.

WINTERGATE updates

So, the Heroes Con is 2 days away, and I am so excited to meet up with all my friends at the show.
I'll just be attending as a guest this year, but I have a few samples I'll be showing around, including the cover to my next creator owned comic series- Wintergate. This was done in Illustrator (lines) and Photoshop (colors). Wintergate Logo designed by Cary Kelly.

Whose there, Pookie?

This was a combination of Illustrator (lines) and Photoshop (colors)

Raiko is one of the lead characters in the Wintergate story. Expect more updates, and expect them frequently.

Turtles Page 3

This is the last page of the Turtles sequence. I think the graytones makes Splinter really pop out.
