Colouring commences on Soldier #3

Hey all,

I know I'm suppose to be updating about SDCC trip, but I'm flat out since coming back. The plan is to get Soldier Legacy #3 ready to rock for Melbourne Armageddon expo in October, followed by Brisbane Supanova in November :D So I'm frantically colouring whislt fitting in the day job, plus working on some extra stuff post-SDCC that is very promising :) In the meantime, I'm just going to throw up some pictures to tide you over (is that the expression?)...

Anyways, hope you enjoy. Coloring's still a steep learning curve. Will write something that sounds remotely educational and academic soon, I promise :)

My apologies for the shameless self-promoting here too, just excited, that's all.

Talk later,

Paul

Pencils for Issue #3 Soldier Legacy have begun!

Preview of Splash page for issue 3 (11 pages penciled so far). This page is a poor man's attempt of a Jim Steranko style page- was reading his few issues of Captain America he did while Kirby was looking to move off the book and really like the contrast in visual page layout he had in comparison to then penciler Jack Kirby's more traditional grid layout. Kirby is the favourite but there was a surrealist influence in the signs and symbols Steranko gave to his storytelling images (conceptually diferent). This point in the soldier book allowed for that sort of 'break away' from the more reality based images needed for the story.

Anyways, I'm waffling again, that's guys. Maybe I'll see you this weekend at Armageddon Expo, Sydney Olympic Park, Satday and Sunday 26th-27th Feb 9am-6pm :)
