I wanted to show you guys a little bit of our process.  So I thought I’d show you the “pencils to polished” procedure of a page of Scarlet Veronica.  This is the Cover for issue 2

So I start with sketching out the image on Blue Line Pro art board.  I scan it in 2 pieces and then put them back together in photoshop.   Then I import the image into a program called Manga Studio Ex. 

Manga Studio rocks.  It’s a great digital inking tool.  I reduce the opacity of the imported sketch.  and I make a new layer and start inking!  ^.^
Zombie Santa’s first.

I do each part of the image on separate layers. I have Santa turned out for now- and Veronica and the Tree are all on different layers.  This makes it easier to apply any kind of effect on the individual characters in Photoshop- or if I wanna move elements around- what have you.

OK- so, I decided that I really wasn’t liking the image of Veronica.  So I sketched out a new one, scanned it, and imported it.

Then I copy that final inked image and paste it into the Issue 2 Cover file.

After I’m done inking, I export the image as a PSD and open it in Photoshop.   I start laying down the color flats.   wooo.

then, after I finish flatting the pic, I send it off to Justin Greathouse [url]http:greathouse.deviantart.com[/url] colorist/render artist extraordinaire (thanks spell check).  and bingo bango- we got a cover!

Woot woot!

Get in your car.  Go to your local comic book shop.   Grab the August Issue of Previews.   Turn to Page 200.  And shove it in the comic shop guy’s face and say "ORDER 50 OF THESE!!!!"

Yeah, we’re in this month issue of previews- and we’re "certified cool".   Which basically mean they think we rock.   Seriously though, - AUG08 3733 - that’s our product code in Previews- ORDER FIFTY!!!

We were at the Rave Motion Pictures Theater in Columbus Ohio for the Premiere of the Incredible Hulk. It was Awesome! We did a lot of “hulkitcures” as they came to be called… and sold a lot of SV buttons and Tshirts to boot! Check it out.
