BP...yes Red eye? why? know of them?

'I will become the most powerful Jedi ever!'

Inks? Isn't that coloring?

[DeleteYourself]

I think he means inking as in outlining. Looks awesome, joe! Good luck at the con!

[defjoe]

nope... little more then outlining. not as glamorous as pencilling but you apreciate more when you actually do it. My job is to bring depth and texture to the page with ink. I use mainly brush except for the buildings and anything mechanical in nature. bunch of rulers and french curves for that. It's hard but fun to do. Bad inker can kill the book!

Nice! Can you post what a before and after would look like from your perspective?

[defjoe]

ryan.. i had to break it up even morew then that. the guy who originally designed it made EVERY page an image...even the bios (if you go to them and see) so he couldn't get the paypall stuff to work. so last night I took what he had and chopped up some stuff and used some stuff i had and threw together the whole site again!

I plan on reworking it when i get back from Chicago... the most important thing was to get the paypal buttons up.

No seriously I used to draw Graffiti and have done hand drawings, inking is what make or breaks it as it's one of the final steps and it has to I repeat has to comliment the schetches.

That being say Dejoe you rock!!!

[D-Zine]

ROFL @ Joe with the stamping!

uhh huh...sure! ;o)

Boobie Island or Bust!

[Magnus]

Hehehehe...I am not gay per se...though I've been happy all day at work.

And yes, I'll be ordering 2 copies...signed of course!

I like the idea behind assassins....think about the word make up.

ASS + SIN = ASSASSIN....

Jason Bourne, Shinobi, Denzel Washington in Man on Fire...all assassins...cool stories cuz you can do soooo much with them. Oh,and lets not forget Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2.

[defjoe]

thanks Benjo... it's good to know that someone can understand. that being said i know it's hard to understand for people that don't know the process. Damn my parents still don't get it.

the good thing is that this has allowed me to start working on my own thing that i'm doing full boat. I will need help with the actual scripting cause i'm not too good with words. but I have the story down and i'm working on the pages right now as i wait for new pages for the graphic novel that will follow this issue of assassins' guild.

DZ... she thinks i'm joking here.

Once I have some spare cash, and the inclination, I'll definitely order a copy... Have you guys thought about releasing web teasers or excerpts on your website yet???

[defjoe]

Magnus,

DZ... very excited. A lot of work has come to fruitation!

Yellow... when I get back this weekend i plan on updating the site and streamlining it. We has a pro web designer offer to do it for ad space but then he dropped out. so we had to throw something up quick.
