I posted these a while back. I've since added several drawings and edited others.
For the past few weeks I've been digging back into old work and re-doing a lot of it. Much easier to see needed corrections after a year or two has gone by.

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen this. Amazing. You are dark Tom. But it's a good, funny dark. Nothing says dead like floating bodies. Weird that i just saw a library copy of the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds. The best part in that the bodies floating by in the river.
Hmm, really? I thought I posted it here. Maybe I didn't. I can't imagine you would have missed anything on the TAG blog Ellis.
Maybe I'm wrong. It seemed new.
Well, in any case, that's good if it seems new to you.
Sure enough, here it is. In my defense, 2 facing pages and dramatic content additions does make it new.
I love this series, Tom. Your style is so unique, yet familiar, both in the visuals and the philosophical underpinnings. I detect notes of Jim Woodring, Moebius, Carl Barks and other artists I can't quite articulate...all subtly mixed in with your wonderfully and lovingly rendered grimly whimsical style.
These are great! And I do remember seeing this...one of your infrequent tantalizations for the blog family.
This does remind me of that artist Eric Haven, The guy who did "Man-Cat" and "Bedman, Dream-Lord of the Night Sky"?...Hey Ellis and Tom--did you guys ever get a copy of anything by him? Did your local comic book store carry his stuff?
Ellis, I'm glad the additional art made the whole thing seem new to you! I was hoping people wouldn't be thinking, "Aww, this again? That's so 'last year'!" :)
Thanks Marty, and yes, I remember Eric Haven's work but no, I have no hard copy of any of his comics. I'll have to look him up again online and see where it's available.
Ronnie! How are you doing? We don't see enough of you on this blog. Thanks for the comments. It's nice to know that you see so many of my artistic heroes as influences in my work. Makes me think I'm on the right track.
Hey, Tom! Yeah, I'm kind of in hibernation at the moment. I have my head stuck in a stack of books and videos trying to get as adept with Python and PyMEL (Maya's fusion of MEL script and Python) and bpy(Blender Python) as I can. Not really all that visually creative these days...mostly focused on tools & pipeline stuff. Coming here is a nice break from the code. Goal is not only to get a job with these new skills, but also to use what I learn to expedite art creation. We'll see. I am determined to gain some level of mastery. I do really miss making art, though and plan on getting back on that horse once I feel like I have laid a solid Python/programming foundation.
Sorry, didn't mean to derail the thread. Love your comic work and can't wait for a collected edition!
That's great you are learning Maya's programming languages Ronnie! Good strategy for getting back into the video games field.
