Michael S Berglands Sketchbook...New Computer. Ya!

Thanks a lot Hans.
I'll look forward to seeing your new sketchbook thread here when you get it up.
I agree it is great having a place like this to share a project such as this. I'm really happy everyone seems to be enjoying this so far.
I'll be honest thou its a pretty dark comic with a really dark what if ending. Hope everyone still enjoys it after its all up.

New pages are up in first posting.
I might redo page 5 eventually not to happy with the inking. Its a night scene so it should be dark I believe it's mainly panels 3 and 5 I don't like.

Enjoy. Ill be coloring in my flats next. Then start inking the Splash Page.

All the best

Holy crap this is good! Ok print it, sign it, so I can hold it and read it like comics are meant to be read.

Actually what are your plans with this?

Thanks Gix.
I do plan on printing it eventually. Aside from being a portfolio piece for submission sample for smaller comic book companies it's also a gift for Nick Cave. When he was in town on July 1st I was at row 2 and handed him a preview of the book. He took it out of my Fleshy Right Hand and said Thank-you very much and placed it in his side suit jacket pocket. Weather or not he ever opened it I don't know. It does have my contact info inside thou. By the time it's finished it will be a full comic 22 pages in length.

Depending how much it costs to print of several copies, Ill send you a copy. ;}

I think the new pages are looking good. I don't see page 3 at this time but page 5 looks like a night scene to me. I think part of It will be how you color it. Now the one listed as pg 1 looks like a day scene even though it appears that there is the moon in the first panel, or is it a setting sun?
Looking forward to more and in color.
Really great .

Thanks Koddable.
Page 2/3 is the Splash Page, its a double page spread. It'll be next. I suspect it'll take around 12 hours to ink. Thanks on Page 5 maybe once it colored Ill be happier with P3 & P4. As for Page 1 It might turn into night scene or late evening scene. Not to sure as of yet.

I would happily pay for a copy. Professionals should get paid for their work. And fans and friends should do what they can to encourage more work.

When this project is finished you should consider opening a big cartel store (or one of the other stores for artists) or start a kickstarter to cover some costs.

Just a thought.

Well I couldn't sell you a copy I'd need to get permission. However you could pay the shipping cost. As to store. No I don't think that's my cup of tea

Fair enough. I didn't think about the issue with copyright and the song.

yeah it's a bit of a road block .

Sample from page 5. Night colors seem to work.

Thoughts?
