Hi! It's mother's day and I hope y'all had a great one, spending time with the one who took care of you or even a sister or cousin, auntie or grandma! All in all I pray your day was great. I spent mine in church! Great place to be! Work has been a little slower than I'd like, but I'm constantly working to get faster and get more done. Working on something on the side that will help sponsor my artwork and artist endeavors. So look for news about that really soon. It happens to involve crowdfunding so I'm working on a video.

I don't really have much to show you. The Big project is still no show, and that's what I'm working on mostly. So next update I'll have work that I can show. Promise!!! 

UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!


Ps Forgotten Guardians has a dedcated Facebook page and so does my graphics studio NF8th Studio so feel free to visit, like, or share either page till your heart contents!!!

So I've been chugging away at getting things together. Mostly the layouts of the next illustration for "Big" and the layouts for the art prints for con season. Got a bit sick so it slowed down the production of everything. Not to mention it was annoyingly painful. 

I've also been on a self development kick where I'm trying to get better at producing backgrounds for the comics.... That also came to a screeching halt. 

I'm feeling better today as I come to you. I look forward to going to church tomorrow slash later today. 

Amidst all this talk of feeling bad, I have great news. I got a mouse pad with the art from Kaye K. print! I'm so hyped as this is the first printed version(minus anything I printed from my desktop printer) since the creation of NF8th Studio! Did I mention that I'm totally stoked!!!  Well enough of me talking about it... Check it out for yourself.

And introducing the all new Charlie St. Martin

Well I hope you like the surprise I forgot to mention ^___^ . That's all I have. I'm going to get ready for church and hit the sack!!!! And as always.....


UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!

Back at it again!!!

Hi, and welcome back! I haven't seen you in awhile. How's life? Good, glad to hear you're doing well. This isn't a social call though. I've brought news on NF8th Studio!!!!

So I've decided(after seeing a great blog post) that I will now feature update information on my Blogspot. Fashioned after my friends and fellow indie creators Comfort Love and Adam Withers(Mind your P's & Q's).... So here I go!

There is still much I can't show you, but I still have a bit I can. The whole "Big" project is confidentiality agreed so no talky for me. But my personal projects are open game..... Well, some of it! I started thinking about showing the layouts for pages 6-19 then I thought "If I show you that will you still be interested in the finished book?"...... Sure you will!!!!

So here's a sneakie peek of pages 6-19 and a peek of my excitement which is how great the con prints are coming together. This is the Kaye K. poster "Hair" version B. with background to boot!!!!!  

Kaye K. V.2

Pages 6-17....

Pages 18 and 19...

Well that's all I have for this now 1 April Twenty13!

I hope you enjoy this post!

UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!

Twenty13

Hello followers!
     I wanted to start twenty13 of by saying, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" and I hope it as great for you as it's going to be for me and NF8th Studio. I don't have a lot to post right now. I will say that officially at the end of today anybody I have extended an invitation to join our ranks, the offer will be extinguished. I you have the desire to join you have up until 02 Jan 13 at 12:01 eastern to respond and say you want "to get in on the ground level of the studio" or something to that effect. Just a "Yes I would like to join." is sufficient as well.

     Sadly it seems we are to fresh and unknown right now, but that will change. I do want to thank you for hanging around to see what's going on in NF8th Studio and I will say you are in for a ride this year.

    As always we are open for commissions. So feel free to contact us to do some work for you. We have pretty reasonable rates.

That's all I really wanted to say. Look for another update closer to the end of the month.

Oh and I've joined a tumblr blog Called 1 Panel A Day and you get a chance to see me create one panel of a comic book a day(you'll also see the creator of the blog as well), but I think it'll be a fun endeavor and a huge undertaking. Feel free to head over there as well(especially you followers who are sequential artists, we'd love to have you)

Alright!

UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!!

A random Wednesday 17 Oct 12

Hi, followers and readers! I'm back with a couple of new art some news and nothing, lol. Isn't that enough?

Anywho. The Urban30 project is still going on... Just without me. I was dropped from the project. 

The lesson for today kids is deadlines... It good to have them and great to meet them. Try your best to get the deadlines as early as possible. Because, as much as you want to do it, you can not fulfill a deadline

when you already have a plate full... The other lesson for today is moderation! 

I know you want to do every project that falls in your lap, but you have to have respect for your on-going

projects and clients, yourself and on-going deadlines, and the new client and new deadlines.

Kk, with that said lets get to some art!!!

This is Drifter for U30. I call this the short hard look collar.

This is Drifter with the tall hard look collar.

This is Heatstroke, a villain from the U30 universe.

I was really diggin' the updated look I gave her. She's pretty cool..

Pun intended.

This little lady has no name but it part of a project I'm working on 

for a book that's going to be published.

This is the colors for the same lady.... She's got the whole world 

in her hands................

......Sorry about that. ^___^

You should be pretty familiar with fella. 

It's Tango again. This time he's looking at something

with interest. Wonder what that could be?

That's all folks. Well at least for this update.

I'll see you next time.... And.....

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY

I may switch to Saturday updates... Or just make it random just update weekly

So quite frankly having issues keeping this thing updated every week on Tuesday. So how about I just guarantee I update weekly. So my work week starts on Friday so it'll be Friday-Thursday.... Well here's today's upload.

Mr. Difter, we've seen quite a lot of you lately!!! 

Still solidifying the design of Drifters suit for my run on 

Urban30's character.

Tons of sketch work. Having issues with my graphic pad

but I want to keep progression going on this project.

More sketch work...

Even more sketch work...

And the final piece of sketch work this session.

Also solidifying the design for Manga Tango for the up and coming 

Manga Graphic Novel titled "Twilighted"

Written by noted creator and artist Germaine Webb.

That's it for this upload. See you next time and...

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!!

Happy 4th!!!

So! I don't have a ton to show today, but I will show what I've been working on.

This is something I smuggled out of the Department of Homeland Security........

I kid, I kid! This is a super secret project I'm penning and designing.

It's going to be great. The few people I have let see the project really like it.

So I'm sure you will too.

This is a file labeled "Tangomanga" for a Forgotten Guardians project.

It will be penned by the one and only Germainiac Germaine Webb of Twilight: The Battle of Spiritual Warfare. 

But of course I couldn't do anything without designing the new look, 

a younger more vibrant version.

I'm thinking this series will be called, "Twilighted"

See what I did there?... Huh?... Ah what do you know about comedy!

Anywho, you'll see me redesigning the cast and crew of Forgotten.

This is the rework from the project in last page's highlights. 

Had to make a uniform change.

On this one and a character change on another. 

But I'm still in negotiations with

the client about the character change.

Well that's all I got this round. Promise to have more next time!!!

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!!
