Twisted Fate: It's The END??

It's The END??

In 2002 I made this comic as a great joke to all the rumors of the world ending. There was so much on the news, and media that people forgot the Mayan Calendar was made prior to leap year, meaning the world would have ended about 13 years ago. So to explain this I had my Fates explain that the Mayan's made a second Calendar but didn't say anything because it was just funnier this way. We'll to me it was. Enjoy.

Grand Cross - A Story Long in the Making.

Today was a strong day for me. I not only got a lot done around the house, but I stuck to my plans and I worked on my Grand Cross story. For those that are new to my work, I have been working on my own comic book series. This series will be drawn and colored in pencil with the only Photoshop edits will be to format the color for print, and add special effects such as lightning. I know already I am taking on a big task, especially if the story catches on, and I have to meet demands. I suppose I can cross that road when it comes.

Along the road of coming up with a good story line I ran into some very large blocks. To me it was enough to nearly scrap the project. I have been working on this project so long, and at one point adapted the story line to fit the needs of children’s animation programming, that the story got mangled. It was so far off base from what I intended it to be so I felt like letting it go.

I came across an old list of mine. I think it was a resolution list about things I want to do to make my life better. One item on the list was to finish a project that I started. To me I crossed it off too soon thinking that the large colored pencil piece like “Bird in Bloom,” was considered large enough. But I knew was I was writing about. I didn’t know how I was going to pull this one off because I already had so much on my plate with the kids, bills, making a new website, producing art for a show, adding to my portfolio,  ect… This list went on and on. I had to do something to keep me on track. So I made a weekly work calendar. I found that if I focused on one project for that day, I could get them moving, and it worked. Before I would look at my list, and freeze to the point where I would do nothing, and get nothing from it. But now I am glad to say everything is moving forward.

Now I have something to look forward to in a year’s time. A new comic book, and a brave new concept. In this journey I am going to attempt to do things different than the normal comic book world. First off I am not sure how many colored pencil comics are out there, but I can be sure that there are not many, if any. To me it’s a comfortable medium, and I feel I can draw my panels faster than if I were to draw them in illustrator or Photoshop. Second I am going to make people really question what they believe in. How strong would you be? Would you do the same thing? And a whole lot of what ifs.

Grand Cross is a story based on the bible. My story will involve the relationship of Angels and Fallen Angels with Man and God. At one time the Fallen angels we all know were all close to God, and they loved God. Some had fell into sin, but not all were entirely bad. The first Protagonist you will meet in my stories in one of the Fallen. His name is Lahash. Some of you may know this former angel, but if you don’t I will help summarize. He was the Fallen angel who seized the prayers from Moses’ followers. Their prayers were intended to keep Moses alive to make the journey. But it was Lahash who had second thoughts and intended to return the prayers to God. Unfortunately when he was taking the prayers to God, the angel Samael shackled him in fire and brought him before God to face punishment, and the prayers were lost. He received Sixty Blows and cast out of the inner chamber and labeled a Fallen.

It’s the stories that we miss when we are looking. Lahash means one who interferes with divine will. I cannot tell you too much, but the setting for the story in the future when the worlds of God, Angels, and Man are to collide in the final battle. But does it have to happen? Lahash was able to interfere with Gods will once. Could he actually stop the end of days from coming? What would be the consequences of his actions. Why does the apocalypse have to happen? Could his actions mean the end of heavenly eternity? Would your faith be strong enough to stand by God and his Angels to protect the hope of Eternity in Heaven over life and civilization on Earth. This war could be the end of both.

More to come with pictures, character designs, character profiles, previews and a whole lot more.

Thank you for supporting me and all of my projects big and small. Your support makes everything worth it.

The Angel of Death

Day 1: The Angel of Death - Pencil sketch. 

I started the drawing last night and finished the sketch late this afternoon. Today is usually my Free Day but I wanted to have this sketch ready to start coloring on Monday. This drawing is based on the original poem "Angel of Death" by Tricia Rathgeber. I cannot wait to see the color make this story come alive with emotion.
