Flatuease with lineart

"For a breath of fresh air: Flatuease"

lol, Deano cracks me up sneakin stuff like that in there.

Just got permission to show this one. From Trailer Park of Terror #7 (Diamond code: JUN073723)

This is a page from a short Deano and I are handling the art chores on (see...I really am working ). Dunno why, but I was really happy with how this one turned out which is really weird because it's such a mundane page (can't always have action packed cheesecake pages).

I'm really happy with how I'm working Dean's lines nowadays. Sure, the palette isn't nearly as creative as some of our older work together, but I have learned a bit more about coloring. As a result this just looks better than most of our Stoneteller and Apprentice stuff.

The biggest difference is that I'm going a lot lighter with my colors overall which is allowing Dean's lineart to show through more clearly and keeps it from looking so muddy. Only took me 2 years to figure it out lol...

This story's been a good challenge for me. Every page so far has been a different setting, so I'm having to work hard on establishing different moods. Been a lotta fun.

Again, this one's for Imperium's horror anthology "Trailer Park of Terror" issue #7. Here's the Diamond code so you can go pick this puppy up: JUN073723 (yeah, I'm pimpin it 2x in one entry just cuz)
