Description
This is a piece I created as a banner for my blog, which you can view here [link] . That's a shot of my studio, with my character, Bodie Troll, giving his two cents on my recent work. I set up the camera on a tripod and set the timer. The drawing was done with a Kuratake brush pen and colored and placed in CS4.You'll be able to read Bodie's adventures when "Bodie Troll" #1 hits stores in early 2013, published by Red 5 Comics.

as I was browsing through your wonderful galery (for the zillionth time) I saw this piece of art and smiled because it reminds me of something I did when I was young and foolish. [link] ((art)%20AND%20(by%3Aditistomzelf))&qo=1
Now that I'm OLD and foolish... I still like it.
Thumbs up for your work

I actually have someone that's going to build those for me! I'll sell them at cons, and online if people want them, so I'll let you know when that happens!

Thanks for the kind words! Bodie Troll will be published by Red 5 Comics, and I believe they do sell in Europe. You can always order my comics off amazon.com, too!

Hey Jay! I'm so bummed. I've signed myself up as a follower of your blog ever since I discovered you and got that commission. But for some reason my google reader never indicates that I am subscribed. Google's telling me "we couldn't find a feed for it". As a result I'm behind on your posts.

Huh, that's strange! I'm not entirely sure how it works. However, I can tell you that I post new blogs every Wednesday. If you can't get Google to fix the problem (and I suggest you contact their tech support), just go to [link] , bookmark it, and check it out every Wednesday! Thanks for following me!

Thanks! Bodie does smile, but for this pic, it seemed funnier to have him with a kind of confused look!

Well, if i was just recently created, wandered into the studio of my maker, and saw him laying my world out on paper...I'd be a bit confused too.

Nice, a very personal touch, it really warms the piece up.

Thanks! Softening the edges of the drawing helped blend it into the photo!

That's cute, and it looks good as your new blog header. So does Bodie keep telling you to put in more fart jokes? Nice work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think Bodie wants me to draw more stories where he eats roots until their coming out his ears and nostrils. He's odd that way!

I'm sure that would be cute, but as far as filling up a whole comic with such scenes goes, I would want more action from him than that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then you should see the pages I'm drawing right now. There's far more action than was ever in Dead Duck. Admittedly, there's fewer fart jokes, but I think the humor is still very much my style.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There's plenty to love about your humor besides fart and poop jokes, but a more action-oriented title from you should be a revelation. Mother Goofs and Dead Duck have a fair amount of action, but the meat is the joke-a-minute delivery. I'm not saying one is better than the other. I'm saying they're different.

I totally agree. I was discussing the differences with my wife, and said that Dead Duck was much more gag-based and conversational, while Bodie is more action and character driven. Part of what's really appealing to me about Bodie is that, unlike Dead Duck, it will appeal to kids and women (as well as adult males). Dead Duck had a mostly age 20-40 male readership, though I wasn't necessarily catering to that demographic. I just look forward to having a concept with a wider audience.
