Little Brother page 4

Page 4 of Little Brother and counting...

Little Brother page 3

Here is page 3 of 15 of my Little Brother comic. I’m not sure I’m totally happy with it and may still tweak it a bit. 

NOTE: For the curious - Tobacco and only tobacco goes into the Chanupa (Sacred Pipe).

 

Black Panther page 5

Here is the next completed page in my Black Panther comic series, still in progress. This one took awhile as I tried to create an image that reflected the connection I feel between Black Panther and Kali. 

Little Brother page 2

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...

And below is the penciled version of page two, just as a teaser...

"Little Brother" Thumbnail Sketches

This is kind of a "DVD Bonus Features" type post with some behind-the-scenes thumbnail sketches of a current comic I am working on, based on a recent powerful experience I had connecting with my younger self for some healing during a Sacred Pipe Ceremony.

I tend to go back and forth between drawing the shorter, one-page comics and these longer, more involved ones, and just to show that my dedication to my calling has not wavered, even though I don't have another finished comic at the moment, I thought I'd post sketches from one that I am actively working on every day. 

Keep watching for updates and finished drawings!

Ain't I a cute kid?
