#kickstarter #crowdfunding #tnc #comic #bookproduction #comicbook
Happy to let kickstarters and other followers keeping tabs on the TnC Year 1 book project that 8 strips are completely done (short of final lettering edits) and tomorrow I start on the next 8. But for now, I get some well deserved sleep! (Falls asleep at desk with wacom pen in hand).

These are all amazing, some of Cory's best strips ever, and makes them even more awesome to draw and the final results are just amazing. Its hard not to be a fan and I'm the one drawing the stuff. All gold here. Solid gold. You folks will love em. Post another progress update soon. Goodnight!

Graphics Patrol - State Of The Union

Good morning! 

Back on patrol for a week of graphic artings. As stated last week there is a major job crunch between now and Thanksgiving, so I'm moving everything I can to after December 1st. I'm leaving with the wife to have Thanksgiving out of town the Wednesday before, so I have till then to get a very large job done to meet certain time sensitive/ financialy sensitive requirements for the project. There is no way to avoid it and I aim to get it done and help the client get it taken care of in the time they need it. To do this, there will be a push back. Only about 5 items are still scheduled to be worked on aside from this. UTMNT webcomic since its a weekly ongoing, Transformers gig to stay on schedule, a SHAZAM commission, and get prelim sketch proofs out for 3 new commissions, which will be finished after December 1st. 

Will be a feverish 9 days ahead but as long as I stay on my planned out schedule it will get done, and as of December 1st everyone will be taken care of.

Thank you for understanding and wish me luck on this project! Have a great week - and if I have ANY time at all to squeeze in, maybe start an hour earlier each morning, I will have a new TMNTurkeys piece this year. A publication I was developing to celebrate the 5th year anniversary of EWG will be shelved and I will come up with something simpler due to no time to work on it.

Perhaps the publication will be released after the new year instead. Who knows.

Alright, time to knuckle down and get to it. Working them fingers to the bone.

Have a great week!

Do The EWG Shuffle

A quick post to folks who may not have specificaly got an email, or to supplement the email that was sent to all clients with jobs currently in the queue. All is good in the personal life and all that, but a major crunch of must completes before turkey day has ensued and some unavoidable push backs are in effect. Most folks will be moved to be worked on once again after December 1st, but some will be less effected. Thank you for all client's patience, nothing is dropped through the cracks, but in order to get some stuff done by Thanksgiving, others will have to be moved. If this absolutely does not work for you, email me and I will try to work something out, otherwise I really appreciate the flexibility in this situation. Most folks will get a pencil proof between now and then, and a very crucial few will be the focus due to their impending time-sensitivity. If your not needing something done by end of the month and can stand to have it first half of december you are being moved. Only have less than a week and a half to get a major job out and need all the time I can devote to it.
Again, I've allotted room for some other crucial must dos, but space will be limited till after the 1st.

Thanks in advance and sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.Email me or comment below if you have any questions or concerns I will respond promptly!

EWG Updates 11.10.14

This is a quick website/business update post

1. Setup a November/Thanksgiving theme wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, on the EWG main site, facebook and deviantart.

2. Got a new EWG website-based Livestream page relaunched featuring a site-dedicated IRC chat and seemless integration of a Picarto-supplied video window. Will be interested to see how viewers like this new setup. Theres on login necessary, just pick a nickname and enter the chat and watch the stream. Hoping it draws more interest and viewers to my Thursday Night and other livestreamed events.

3. October Sale Orders have been completed for everyone except for a client who understands they ordered a lot more than I could get done by the 6th, so I am going to get them out this week, and then hopefully be able to offer up slots again come next week or so!

4. Monday has been a 'business day' where I worked on inhouse stuff got this and that straightened out and did things I was always putting off to get client work done, but will hit the ground running on must-completes for webcomic jobs this week and other sorts. Got lots to do and time to get cranking.

5. Hope folks are enjoying Run Of The Mill, a new strip comes out Thursday at midnight. And I've completed the second draft on a very special project due to come out in December. Stay tuned for that.

Alright, that's it for now, thanks for reading, check out the new livestream page now on the menu of Features at right, and have a great week!

Overwatch Cinematic - What Disney/Marvel Could Be

Blizzard's Overwatch makes me imagine what it'd be like to have Disney animation superiority mixed with serious marvel action and story telling - this is how good it could be! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqnKB22pOC0 - its past time marvel! Man this movie makes me want it so bad. Imagine inhumans, fantastic four or Generation X done this way. Hell a proper spiderman. EWG officialy wants to see this happen. Would be the best thing to come from the disney/marvel merger for sure. I see it starting in small strides with Big Hero 6 which just came out... but it needs to eventualy get to the level of something as awesome as this!

Thursday Stream And Webcomics To Come

That does it for this busy Wednesday, I will be taking a few hours off then buckling down on some more comic work this evening to keep up with the ol' work schedules. Theres a few more things going on this week thought that folks should probably note. October Sale Orders, my new webcomic and Thursday Night Livestream are the main focus of this post.

October Sale orders have about drawn to a close. Except for one regular client who put in a hefty order and understand it'll take another week or so to get them to him. Beyond that everyone else will be finished up under the wire. I've purposely held off the last two till this Thursday (Tomorrow already?!) as they enjoy the streaming aspect and so I will be doing one during the afternoon tomorrow for TamTam and then one for Thursday Night Livestream demo tomorrow night.

If you subscribe to my Picarto or Livestream channels you will usualy be notified when a new stream becomes active. I try to post on Deviant Art, Twitter and Facebook several minutes in advance too. I'm surprised more folks dont come out. Not everyone lives in same time zone I do. So if your not working or otherwise engaged, come out check out some work in progress. Good way for folks pondering on commissioning me to do some real-time QnA and checkout what they'd be buying as well. Always cool. Thursdays are traditionaly the night where from 8pmEST till at least 10 I am working on a piece which is spotlighted as a demo piece, and is usualy recorded and posted to youtube afterward. Other streams are just unrecorded broadcasts and a peak behind the EWG curtain. I should also note a new item on the EWG Pricelist is a $15.00 process video of your commission order, whatever kind you got, you can order for $15.00 (per item) an edited, time elapsed video spanning 5 to 10 minutes with some appropriate music going along with it of your piece. An especialy great item for those process junkies out there.

Last but not least, keep an eye out for the next installment of my new webcomic Run Of The Mill which posts Thursday (aka Midnight) and a buffer is built up so its good to go for every Thursday this month and beyond :) Let me know your thoughts on it when it comes out. The full color fictional tale based on my life with my wife and our dog premiered Halloween, October 31st and also the last day of Inktober to help drive extra traffic. Will remain to be seen if the good response it got will carry to strip 2 and beyond. Eventualy if it makes sense to, may bump it up to a twice or 3 times a week comic. But for now, enjoy the once a week installments. Only on the EWG website comics section.

Have a great one, and will probably stream (not recorded) while working on comics if I do tonight. But for now, with a yawn and a stretch, this humpday is wrapped! Look for the new comic, see folks out for Thursday Night Stream, and pick it all up Thursday!

Warmup 11.5.14 - Remember Remember The 5th Of November

#fifthofnovember #vforvendetta #remember #alanmoore #treason #warmup #warmupsketch

Remember, remember!
    The fifth of November,
    The Gunpowder treason and plot;
    I know of no reason
    Why the Gunpowder treason
    Should ever be forgot!
    Guy Fawkes and his companions
    Did the scheme contrive,
    To blow the King and Parliament
    All up alive.
    Threescore barrels, laid below,
    To prove old England's overthrow.
    But, by God's providence, him they catch,
    With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
    A stick and a stake
    For King James's sake!
    If you won't give me one,
    I'll take two,
    The better for me,
    And the worse for you.
    A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
    A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
    A pint of beer to wash it down,
    And a jolly good fire to burn him.
    Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
    Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
    Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!

This morning's 15 minute warmup sketch, I was inspired to draw V from V for Vendetta. The whole thing revolves around November 5th so thought it'd be appropriate. Ironic that this years its the day post elections. Anyways, never drawn him before, i thought it would be harder but his mask and persona flowed from the pen pretty effortlessly. Fun stuff! Love these anti-establishment kinda heroes. I'd totaly draw a V book if I ever had the opp. Above is the quote from the movie. I am a huge fan of the movie for what it is, I don't care if its accurate to the comic or not. Both are great in their own rights. This is based on the movie.
Stay locked into the EWG website for daily-as-possible warmup sketches and process posts that you won't see on deviant art or facebook or what not. Twitter/ Facebook and such will only link back here. The Gallery page will feature them in the sketchbook seciton as well. Keeping up the discipline established with Inktober and moving forward :) Maybe not EVERY day but damn close.

TMNTurkeys On Display on Deviant Art

It's officially November, so I'm happy to announce that all the Thanksgiving Marauding Ninja Turkey pieces from 2005 to current are on display over on the Eryck Webb Graphics deviant art page! Hop on over and check them all out.
Since 2005, every year I do my own little homage to the heroes in green I grew up with and been a fan of my whole life. I don't remember how it came about or where it started but somehow I was doing a thanksgiving commemorative piece, and had some turkeys that eventually ended up representing each turtle, and then I came up with a different meaning for TMNT and this homage was born. The weapons and initials and the general attitude is where it ends though. The rest is about turkeys avenging their fallen kind in the name of feasting and giving thanks!
Through 2011 I just sort of jotted down some turkeys with no real purposeful design and they were fairly generic and uninteresting. Come 2012 I sat down and created a wholly original design for the turkeys that was used again in 2013 and will again in 2014.
Enjoy checking out the gallery on Deviant Art and let me know your thoughts!
Have a great November! Looking forward to family and Thanksgiving but got tons to do before then!

Inktober Day 31 - Fingers To The Bone

#inktober #inktober2014 #fingerstothebone #artistlifestyle #lifestyle #skeleton #fearandloathing
Inktober has been a fun experience. I had not done one before, and certainly not 31 days of it. I was on sketch dailies for a while and even that I did not do more than maybe a week or two. This was a lot of fun. It reminded me to draw everyday, just sit down and draw SOMETHING, even if it was hardly anything. It allowed me to just sit down have a moment to draw for myself and myself alone, and explore everything from original concepts I think up on the spot to new portrayals of existing original characters. Ending on Halloween, I thought this idea of dying at ones desk doing what they do best, working their artistic fingers to the bone, would be a great way to end it. Sitting down and drawing, 24-7 lifestyle. A form of discipline you spend your whole life practicing and learning at.
This was drawn in Inkscape with layers and blacks and whites and orange shades with Wacom Intuos 2 tablet and stuff n stuff. Just like you see the skeleton doing actualy. I have mine propped up on a table-top drawing board.
Heres to next year! But this will not be the end of my warmups. if anything, it helped get me in a habit to keep warmup sketches coming.
Check out the rest of the Inktober2014 pieces at the www.EryckWebbGraphics.com website! And see you in November!
