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 ... : )

AND THE WINNER IS ...

Well, the winners are, in fact, Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra and Jose Marzan Jr. This weekend at San Diego Comic-Con "Y - The Last Man" won Eisner Awards for best continuing series and best penciller/ inker team! Congratulations, folks! : )

Doodleheads

Some warm-up sketches before inking ...

Oh, the horror !!!

As some of you know, in early '90's I've been working for German publisher on short horror stories, but most of you never really saw those pages. I've never hide the fact that it was a complete hack-job and that 90% of it was awful crap. Some of you might think I'm exaggerating, but here are the facts; I wasn't really skilled at the time, I never did my best working on them (if I had any enthusiasm, it would vanish after first page), we weren't allowed to use lots of blacks, draw blood and spilled entrails and - on top of it all - they would color it like this ...

The rumor was that some nuns in monastery were hired to do the colors. It was never confirmed, but by the looks of it I guess it could be true! >:)

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 ...
