Selling Chas

Original pages from my Chas mini are up for grabs. They're not too pricey. So, go - take a look here, here and here. This one is the most expensive, $225.

In and out

It's been awhile since the last post. Not drawing much these days, but still managing to spend days quickly with little things that needed to be taken care of. Like finally sending the original art from "Chas" to the Splashpage Art. I'll let you know here when the pages are ready to be sold. Here's one of them ...

Browsing through those pages and getting the comps of "Chas" trade paper backs couple of days ago aroused mixed feelings in me, but the strongest one of them is that the whole thing is done long time ago.

I'm turning the corner, making a new step. Idle days are over.
And ... just so this post wouldn't go without any new drawing, here's a scan of a pencilless doodle, which you can see on photo, too.

Chas trade

Chas mini series, that I've worked on last year, will be collected and published in April. All you trade- waiters, your time is now ... :)

The end

JC : So if we're done with all that, can you start your bloody cab up and take me home ...
Chas : Happy to oblige John ...

Needless

What's the first thing you notice when you're chasing deadlines?
You really don't need those pencils detailed. >:)

Tired ...

AAAAARRRRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

3,4,,5, Chas, Chas, Chas ...

#3 is in the stores ...

#4 is finished and in the printers ...

#5 is announced, but still far from finished.

I wonder, what will life look like after Chas?

Trashed!!!

Sve je super i sve je za pet!!!!

Kad si muško i voliš nogomet ...

ZOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!

That's the sound of days flying by ...
Fed-ex guy rang on my door couple of days ago, bringing comps of Chas #2. It's already on the shelves of comic-shops all around USA.

And #4 is already announced.

I'm so screwed.

A promise

More than a month ago I've promised to show new process of doing the pages. Well, guess what - it sucks! At least for me. I did most of the fun part in layout, penciling became tracing, and final result is frustrating because I've lost all the freshness I had at first stage.
Mrmrghhhhhffff!!!!!

Money shot

It will look much cooler after Matt does his magic over it ... : )

I GOT IT ! ! ! !

Yes, the comps of first issue of Chas mini finally arrived today!
If you get a chance to read it, let me know if you liked it.
And if you didn't, well OK, do tell, but choose your words carefully ... : )
Sorry for the bad quality of pic. Batteries are empty and I couldn't wait for them to recharge.

More Chas

Whoa, third issue is already announced !!! You can see the cover if you go there, and I'll give you some bits and pieces here ...

Not so rough roughs

I've changed the process a bit. Tighter lay-outs, pencils looser and inked right away.
Here are few fresh pages ...


Stay tuned for the next steps ...

Screeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Little people

Tonci helped me out with this. He drew 67 of them, I did the rest, but didn't count them. : )

Another brick(s) in the wall

Second Chas

Whoa! Time flies when you're busy ...
Didn't even realize it's been almost ten days since last post.
Well, I'm still (more then) busy, so I'll keep it short.
The second issue of Chas mini is announced ...

HELLBLAZER PRESENTS: CHAS — THE KNOWLEDGE #2 (OF 5)

Written by Simon Oliver; Art by Goran Sudzuka; Cover by Glenn Fabry

A demon is loose in London, and where's John Constantine? On a beach in Ibiza with a mai tai and a Brazilian model. That leaves Chas alone to solve a bloody mystery – but when one of his old friends goes missing and a new friend emerges to turn his life upside down, saving the city is the last thing on Chas's overburdened mind.
