Boarding Actions Class

Earlier this month, I learned how to use a tomahawk, long knife, cutlass, military sabre, and small sword. Next year, the workshop will be held on ship. Here are the sketches I did during the free sparring sessions using mixed weapons.

SD Red Star inks

Here's the inks of the SD Red Star strip. Now, I'll see how well I digitally color. The Red Star and characters are © 2006 Chris Gossett.

I pinch!

I've been watching Deadliest Catch. While I was switching channels, I saw a Honda commercial featuring a talking Element to a crab, "I pinch." It had the most appropriate voices.

SD Red Star

This is from a script my friend Dave Thun wrote a while ago. There's a few panels missing, so don't expect it to make sense yet. I'm nearly done with the final inks and then I'm going to try my hand at digital coloring. It will done by the end of this month, if not earlier.

kettle crack

At the local farmer's market, they always have the kettle corn guys there. I watched the line of kids queue up as the fellow churned the popping corn with an oar in the huge, blackened kettle.
