Back to Zero

The dawn of a new year. Exciting, isn't it?

Before I get into anything, I have a few goodies I'd like to share.


Pencils | Inks | Colour


This is an absolutely amazing splash page by Invincible artist Ryan Ottley. These are the original pencils, so you can see the amount of detail in everything that's happening. The final piece also makes a wicked background for your desktop. This scene comes from issue 29, where Mark and his father reunite to fight Viltrumites on an alien planet to-- You know what, it doesn't matter what's going on. It's just awesome. Besides, if you don't read Invincible, you probably wouldn't understand. (So, what are you waiting for? Volume 1's only $15. Go pick it up!)



Spider-Man vs. the Hulk. Another piece by Ryan Ottley. Aside from his stint on the Batman/Superman Annual I hadn't seen much of his work outside Invinsible until recently. Bloody fantastic stuff.



Okay. I have a confession to make. Last night I stumbled upon Ryan's deviantART profile. I'd seen a lot of his images there before, but never picked up it was him. The Invinsible stuff woulda sealed it, if I'd noticed. Then again I did see that zombie Invinsible a long time ago... Anyway, enjoy Wolvie killing Batman. I thought it was funny.

All hail Ryan Ottley, pencil god.

Anyway. New Years Eve was a bash. Good times at the Red Rooster! Who knew Domino's Pizza would be open all night? Mmm, nothing like being loaded and getting fresh pizza at 4 in the a.m. Speaking of loaded, beer and champagne is an odd combination...

So far since the new year hasn't offered too much excitement. Then again, it's only day four. Work sucks, what else is new, right? I think it's time to find a new place for my (lack of) skills.

Speak of the devil. My time is cut. And I totally forgot my point during all that.
