Description
Since I'd been working like mad on the DW Annual, I haven't had time to draw anything else this past month. However, now that it's done and I've got a whole week off, with another Rescue Ranger cover coming along, I figured I'd share another "Process" pic of how I get from start to finish.a) The first image is a small thumbnail I submit to my editor after we've discussed what the cover is all about. I'm surprised they give me the go ahead at this stage, as my thumbs are usually pretty loose and crappy!
b) next I do a tighter rough of the action, try and fit everything into the cut offs, keeping in mind logos and barcodes etc. Then I do a cleaned up "ink" line over my tighter "pencils"
c) next is colour...pretty self explanatory. You may also notice Chip's expression change...there was a call to make him more "determined" which usually happens sooner in the game, but I guess they were undecided!
d) then I wait a month or so and am lucky to find the cover "dressed" with logos...it always makes it feel like a finished piece at this point.

I love the little changes that take place over each one to the way things and characters are positioned and drawn. Love it. Thanks for posting your process.

Not much I can say that everyone else hasn't already, but I love these comics--I think you all do a fantastic job with them! Can't wait for issue 5!

Nicely drawn. Though I don't know why it reminds me of something from GI Joe.

Wow, I thought the first two were actual on-paper sketches with a pen or marker lol. Very nice!

Looks great. Are those two sketches two different pieces of paper, or did you really erase and draw over?

it's all digital...so it's just layers

Looks superb - and crappy as you think they are, your first rough sketches look rather cutesy

That 'loose' thumbnail of yours is the Mona Lisa compared to my rough concept cover sketches, you're in great shape!
I like dressing the covers with custom logos, but I can only do that on certain variants.

looking at that, it must took you a lot of time, but it look good

Cool! Do you do all of this digitally or is some of this drawn using pen/pencil?

The determined Chip usually wins out I suppose. It works though!
You have a pretty expressive thumbnail, I can see how someone would okay it. Plus they know your work, so its obvious it would come out excellent.
It's a beauty, and I LOVE, LOVE the snow speeders! Hah! Thanks for sharing, I love seeing the process. It reminds me that you're human and not a cartoon drawing machine!

It's interesting to see how the art has changed. I love the final.

AMAZING work! I love how on-model your characters are, but how they still retain your artwork's energy!
I'm REALLY finding myself loving thumbnail Chip n' Dale! They are ADORABLE with their button eyes XD

Wrong? If dats wrong, I don't wanna be right.
For serials. A whole comic done like those thumbnail munks needs to happen. CRAZY ADVENTURES, SIBSY! WITH CHEESE!

Rofl, I love Gadget's loopy expression in image a. The end result is absolutely stunning. I'm really looking forward to seeing your work in the DWD Annual!
