CHRISTIAN COMIC ARTS SOCIETY :: A NETWORK OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP FOR COMICS FANS, PROS, AND AMATEURS

I don't know if anyone has paid attention to my pics on my page but they are mostly black and white.  Well I drew these pics at an extremely young age-- really young.  Most of my portfolio got burned in my high school art class and I was devastated.  Took me a while to bounce back from it.  Although I was able to salvage the SpiderMan pick with the Hobgoblin(which I drew in middle school).  The Batman pic was my first pic that I drew in 2000 after that fire incident.  The Jesus pic I drew also in 2000 I believe.  Believe it or not I have a lot more work now but I don't post it.  I have around 60 or more pieces on comic boards but it's for the comic book I'm working on.  The comic that I'm doing for God.  It's some of my best work I believe.  Right now it's only penciled but the rest will be done eventually.  I'm trying to put myself in a situation to work on it full time, keep it in prayer if I happen to come across your mind.

Well the reason I'm typing is because this is a special moment for me.  Since the age of 3 I've been drawing.  Then as I got older I started to ink my work.  I love inking.  But..... and this is a big but.  No matter what-- I would choose to never color my stuff. The reason is because I knew that I would never be able to color it the way that it looked like in the comic books.  I would never be able to color it the way I saw it in my head.  But as a child I knew that one day I would be able to, one day when I got older, much older.  So I put all my pics(what little I had left) to the side as if in a time capsule to preserve, and wait for the right moment where I could have the technology to color it exactly how I saw it.  Or at least try.  Now, the time has finally come for me and I am truly excited! To finally put color to my works. It's like the Wizard of Oz going from black and white to color, beautiful color. My patience has paid off where I can finally color my pics. Using Photoshop and layers and washes and all the little goodies that are at my disposal.  Thank you Jesus that I was born into an age where I can do this my self without having to pay anybody.   Because as much as I liked inking my works I always dreamed of the day that I can put color to them.  Glory to my God!!!
