Page 12 of Old Ghosts is up! This house is so haunted grand can’t even keep track of all the goings on. Read it here on Studio NDR or here on Tapastic.

Trivia for this page: I did indeed live in a house that, at one point, had a mysterious blood-like substance dripping from the ceiling. After confirming that the upstairs neighbors had not stabbed each other to death, we discovered their tub was leaking. The “blood” was most likely rust from old pipes.

In other news, as you may have seen in my previous post, I’m at the penciling stage of my story for Beyond. I’m sure I’ll have some teasers for you before too long. QUEER SCI-FI IS IMMINENT.

Cheers,

Dylan

Valley of Spiders goes to pencils

Woo hoo! Got the editorial green light to start penciling my story for Beyond. Queer sci-fi/fantasy comics are IMMINENT. Not sure how many pages I’ll have managed to draw before TCAF, but either way, if you’re going to be there, feel free to stop by the Northwest Press table and ask to see what there is to see. I’ll also be at the queer mixer.

You may be wondering what effect, if any, this will have on the weekly updates for PiQue: Old Ghosts. The answer is hopefully none, though I can’t actually promise there won’t be a brief hiatus at some point. HOWEVER. I currently have seven pages in the buffer, so I’ve got a bit of a pad. At the moment things are looking good for an uninterrupted run. Travel can play hell with schedules, though, so. Ya know. But. Still. Anyway.

Soon enough I hope to be posting teaser pix from VoS pencils, so STAY CHOONED.

Cheers,

Dylan

Page 11 of Politically InQueerect: Old Ghosts is up! Archer puts on his Ruiner of Fun hat and … oh, I guess he already had it on. Read it here on Tapastic, or here on Studio NDR.

If you need to get caught up, or just wanna refresh your memory as to the goings-on, the archive of all pages posted to date is here.

I’m in the midst of coloring page 18, and finished inking page 30 last night, so progress proceeds apace. Not likely that I’ll have the whole thing done before TCAF, unfortunately, but I should at least be able to ink everything. So if you’re going to be at TCAF, come by the Northwest Press booth to eyeball the whole damn story all at once.

Cheers,

Page 10 of PiQue: Old Ghosts is up! In this episode, Todd is JUST trying to express concern for Archer’s well-being, is all. You can read it here on Tapastic, or here on Studio NDR. If you need to get caught up, the archive of all pages posted to date is here.

Progress report on the story as a whole: I’ve almost finished inking page 29, and have colored up through page 14 (inclusive). So things proceed apace, and I still have a bit of a buffer, to which I am slowly adding. Which is good, because …

Valley of Spiders character lineup Beyond

Work on my piece for Beyond is gearing up. I’m doing script edits right now, but it’s awfully close to ready to pencil. So! I will be diving into that stage of the process very soon. This is a character design test I threw together to get a sense of everyone’s relative height, clothing design, and shading scheme. You can read more about all this in my tumblr posts here and here, if you are a big ol’ process junkie.

Cheers,

One gets the impression Archer does indeed think it’s a pity that public hangings aren’t an option right at this moment.

Need to get caught up? The archive of pages posted to date is here. Though I don’t know why the thumbnails are all wonky. Sigh.

What else is going on that I can tell you about? Oh, yeah, the Kickstarter for Jon Macy’s Fearful Hunter! This is so close to funded, and a mere week left to go! Throw in some $$ if you’d like to see some queer druid/werewolf lovin’. You would, right? That’s what I thought.

Cheers,

Dylan

Politically InQueerect Old Ghosts Gran

Gran has finally met the person of her dreams – someone who actually WANTS to hear her gruesome tales of grisly ghosts. Why on earth would Archer and Clara NOT be into this? What is wrong with them, anyway? Read it here on Tapastic, or here on Studio NDR.

Thanks to everyone who came by the Northwest Press booth and bought books! We had a great show and will definitely be back. Next stop is TCAF in Toronto, which is May 10-11, 2014.

In further Old Ghosts news, the pencils are DONE. Oh my yes. I still have 10-ish pages to ink and 27-ish pages to color, but the uphill part of the process is finished, which is a huge relief to me. I’ve only been working on this story since 2003. (Yep. Two-thousand-effing-three.)

So! Emerald City Comic Con. I will be there, at the Northwest Press booth (#912). Come get your copies of Transposes and/or QU33R signed. Purchase original art from either of these. Eyeball the printouts I made of Old Ghosts pages in their sort-of current state, if you want to peep the story faster than a page a week. All of these things and more are to be had in Seattle this weekend, March 28-30, 2014. See you there!

Cheers,

Dylan

Page 6 of Old Ghosts is up! Read it here on Tapastic, or here on Studio NDR. Hmmmm. What, indeed, could be amiss about that room? Oh, well. I guess we’ll never know.

I have but four pages remaining to pencil on this story, and then that phase of the art will be DONE. Since the pencils are the most labor-intensive part of the process, this is good news for actually getting this thing finished at long last. I’m almost done inking page 25 (yeesh, but that one’s taking a long time), and need to get back to coloring once I wrap up the pencils. There are still three finished pages in the can, so I’m not too worried about keeping these here updates regular.

In other news, a couple of Seattle-related things going on. First of all, I’m in an art show at the Gay City Health Project (517 E Pike St, Seattle, WA 98122). It’s going on now, and will be up through April 7, so get down there to check out some original comic art from myself and several others.

Also, I will be at Emerald City Comic Con (March 28-30), most likely at the Northwest Press booth. Though I’m on the wait list for my own Artist Alley table, so if one becomes available I’ll have my own spot. Anyway, start at Northwest Press, and if I’m not there they’ll know where I am.

Cheers,

Dylan

Politically InQueerect Archer

It’s Wednesday, and that means the new page of Politically InQueerect: Old Ghosts is live! At long last, we arrive at our destination, and we learn that in Archer’s case the sarcasm is congenital. You can read it here on Tapastic, or here on Studio NDR.

Halvanylila Razi grooming teaserIn other exciting comix news, I’ve done a 1-page backup story for Jon Macy’s upcoming Fearful Hunter collected volume. In addition to his own story of queer druid/werewolf luv, he asked several of his artist pals to do short pieces on the subject of queer monster romance. I decided to do a page featuring two of my characters from my Beyond story, Halvanylila and Razi. I babble about it a bit further in my Tumblr post on the subject, so wander over there if you’re dying for more details.

I shall include a teaser here, but obviously for the full page you’ll have to pick up the Fearful Hunter tome when it comes out. Not sure what the release date is, but I’ll let you know when I know.

Cheers,

Dylan

Politically InQueerect Old Ghosts

Page 4 of Old Ghosts is now posted for your viewing pleasure, both here on Studio NDR, and over here on Tapastic.

The summary for today’s page is best encapsulated in a paraphrasing of a certain Smith’s song: Some flights are better than others, some flights are better than others, some flights are better for other churls’ mothers.

Need to get caught up? The archive for all the pages posted to date is here.

In other news, I’m going to be posting more Beyond teasers over on my tumblr as work on that story gears up. Here’s the new one I put up yesterday. Eventually I’ll create a section on Studio NDR for all this concept art, but for the time being it’s just easier to post it on Tumblr. So. Follow along there if you don’t want to have to wait.

Cheers,

Dylan
