Back Inside Cover for Issue 1 Redo


The back inside cover of my first issue redo will be advertising the cover of the next issue. I decided to have a little fun with it and create a vintage record ad.

Issue 1 Redo

I bought a WACOM drawing board when I began the second issue, and the discrepancy in art was too great to ignore, so I am going back over the first issue to bring it up to par to the quality of the second. Issue #1 Second Edition will be coming out next month! Here's a preview of the changes being made:

Half Sketch - Half Photoshop Preview of Issue 2

I don't know how I ended with the lightly colored sketch. I do know I redrew this on with a mouse and not the wacom. The real thing looks nice.

Favorite Panel of Issue 2!


I don't know what it is about this panel, but it just worked perfectly for me. Maybe the color, or the coolness of Boss...I just don't know!!!

Broken Page 13


I had an idea of what I wanted to do with my page 13 for issue 2, but I scrapped it. I don't want to waste the art, so I'm putting up the first draft anyway.

Wolf to Meaner Wolf

I guess in Skyscraper-Land (i.e. Sevick City, Our Nation) - turning a wolf into a wolf doesn't really work as well as one might think...

Anatomy of a Panel


I Just wanted to demonstrate how I can start with a basic drawing on one panel, and enhance it 3 weeks later. This will be on the 11th page of Issue 2.

That First Panel....was a long one....

This was the "ribbon cutter" of my first comic book. Making that first panel was not an easy process, and of course things got easier as I progressed. Luckily I learned a lot of things along the way to speed this bad boy up.

The Original Skyscraper #9 - 7/8/01

The wolf did everything for Red, but when she doesn’t give in to the Nasty, he puts a bullet in her head.
