Space Shark

In between my other comic projects I found myself working on something I'd wanted to do just for fun for a long time. When I self-published my Little Brother graphic novel, being about a soul retrieval I performed on myself to reconnect with and heal a younger part of myself, I included one of the earliest comics I'd ever drawn to honor that young boy of me to see his work actually published. The comic was a four page adventure called Space Shark about a race of space-faring sharks.

In Little Brother, though, I just included what were basically photocopies of my original work, which was drawn in pencil on lined paper. So recently I took those photocopies as if they were my own penciled pages, and I inked them in, trying to stay true to the original lines as if the younger me had done the inking. Then I uploaded them, ran them through a couple filters, and used an editing program to attempt to clean up the splotches as well as the original college-ruled blue lines, leaving, in essence, what the comic may have looked like had the younger me drawn it on actual drawing paper and had finished it off by inking it. 

It was a fun side project and I'm happy to present it here:

For those of you just joining us: This is a 15 page comic I am currently working on around a series of really powerful Sacred Pipe ceremonies, for the sake of simplicity presented in this comic as one ceremony, I did in conjunction with a Soul Retrieval I performed for myself to heal some childhood trauma.

Here is the second page of fifteen for my Little Brother comic. 

Little Brother page 1

Here is the first of fifteen pages of a comic I am currently working on. This one differs from other comics I have done in that I finished thumbnailing the entire comic before ever penciling and inking any of the finished pages. Normally after thumbnailing a page I will immediately pencil and ink the final version of that page before thumbnailing the next one. I’m not sure yet if this is the way I will continue to create comics, but I am glad for the experience. 

A number of months ago I was blessed ceremonially to become a Sacred Pipe Carrier with the Chanupa, the Sacred Pipe, I’d acquired and hand carved. This comic is about a Soul Retrieval I performed on myself in the course of a series of three pipe ceremonies I’d done. For the sake of the simplicity of the comic, I condensed it into a single ceremony. 

Enjoy and stay  tuned for the rest of the story...
