Please let us know what you think of Page 12 of Justice Served Cold.

The End is Near

Next week is the conclusion of the first story.  Be sure to read below the artwork and visit the blog for all the information about where we go from here.

Lettering

Well, I may not be getting any better ARTISTICALLY — but I am definitely getting better LOGISTICALLY.  I don’t think I could have done this page 10 weeks ago. 

Whew. 

Going around the cars in panel #3 and fitting everything in panels #4 - 7 was a lot of fun.  (Right…) 

On the plus-side I only had to cut 2 short lines from the script (Anyone know what they are?  Gregg?) and panel #2 might have been the easiest of the story so far.

I really can’t imagine someone reading the blog who hasn’t read the comic.  What would be the point?  However, just in case…

(Besides, I needed something to fill this post, anyway.)

We have been promising it since day one — and it’s finally up and running

The Art of Addictive Comics Blog is LIVE!

We’ve wanted to do this even before we started the comics, but we weren’t sure if there was really a need for it.  As creators we love to discuss the story and artwork amoungst ourselves, but we didn’t know if the readers would be interested or not.

But the comments on the Blogs have convinced us that at least a few of you would like to delve more deeply into the creation process. 

So we’ve created The Art of Addictive Comics Blog.

Some of you may note that we only have one Art Blog when we have mentioned before that we would be doing individual ones for each book.  We decided that one would be better.  That’s all.

You might also notice, when you visit, that it looks a little sparce.  We’ll be fixing that as we go along. 

Our first post is all about the page you just read — Black Jack Justice - Justice Served Cold - Page 8 — And TREES! 

If you are interested in Artwork, the creation process or you’re just wasting time at work until the whistle blows — Check out The Art of Addictive Comics Blog by CLICKING HERE NOW. 

Now, please, your comments on Page Eight.

I tried really hard to get the Art of Addictive Comics Blog ready for this week.

It’s not the blog itself — putting up and starting a blog is drop dead simple.  That’s why they are so popular. 

It’s the content.  I just didn’t have the time to get everything ready.

But this would have been a perfect week.  Trust me.  This page bears A LOT of talking about. 

If you are interested in the artwork and the processes that go into creating it and getting it on the screen, be sure to check out The Art of Addictive Comics Blog – which should be up NEXT WEEK.

Now, please, your comments on Page 7 of Black Jack Justice — Justice Served Cold.

Hey, we’re glad you could make it. 

This is where you can comment on Page 3 and read the comments made by other readers and the creators.

To view the rest of the blog click the BJJ Blog Home link in the top left corner.

Page 3 really taxed my almost-non-existent lettering skills to the max.  I had to move and squeeze and move some more just to fit everything in.  Those fans of Black Jack Justice who have the shows memorized (you know who you are!) will see that we still had to cut a little bit of the dialogue.  Sorry.

It wasn’t much — but if you want to hear the complete text, visit Decoder Ring Theatre and download the wonderful Podcast of Justice Served Cold.

I am even more sorry that I had to cover up so much of Sami’s beautiful artwork.   After the Holidays are over we plan on creating another blog to feature and highlight the artwork of Black Jack Justice and other artwork by the Creators.  We’ll probably include the “pre-word balloon pages” each week for anyone interested in them.  But until then here is a special little treat.  

I HATED to cover these legs up –

Pencils by Sami - Inks by Mark - Legs by Donna

Let us know if this kind of stuff interests you (”discussions about the artwork” not the girl )

While you’re here, don’t forget to have a look around.  There is a gorgeous picture of Trixie by Sami on the post for December 19th.
