Jury Duty, Comic and Deadzone

Jury Duty

So I have been a little bit busy lately, specifically, I had jury duty last week and that threw a kink into my regularly scheduled life:

Lanyard we had to wear all the time

Basically, what happened was I was called in with like 200 other people, then they randomly selected us to go get into smaller groups for trials.  Then the attorneys got to look us over (like livestock at the State Fair) and ask us questions to see if they wanted us to be on their jury.  The process is much more boring than TV makes it look...I don't know how many hours we actually spent sitting in the jury room waiting for stuff to happen.  Anyway, I got on a civil trial, did my duty and here I am...hopefully a more well rounded person because of it.

Comic

Next on my list of updates, I am still taking my comic class for I think 3 more weeks.  This week we started making a cover, and I haven't gotten very far on that.  I did get a new addition to my technology family, though....I got an over-sized scanner, so I can start digitally coloring the pages I have done.  You would be surprised how difficult it is to find a scanner that can scan bigger than 8.5 x 11 (well at least at an actual store, I'm sure you can find something online).  

Anyway, my photoshop skills are pretty poor, but here is the beginning of the coloring of my first page, the cat guy hunting the boar.  

Scanned B&W page

Coloring has begun!

Again, it's pretty rough, and my digital coloring skills are bad...but it's a start at least. I think it looks pretty!  I also have no idea how actual comics are colored.  I like my style so far, but it seemed to be different than the few comics I have laying around my office.

Deadzone - Rebs video

Last thing to inform you about today, I added another video into my Deadzone series.  This one is about the Rebs faction.  They are rebels fighting against the big Corporation....type scenario.  They are ill-equipped compared to the Enforcers, and so must scavenge supplies.  The video just goes through the models I received in my Kickstarter package.

So in conclusion for today - jury duty, no so bad; comic creation, fun; Deadzone Rebs, watch the video.

Until next time, thanks!
