I have this thing where I can’t stand to look at a comic I’ve made (or video, animation, anything creative really) after I’m done making it. Like, I’ve worked on it so long and tirelessly that I’m kind of sick of it? At least for a little while. Not sure if that’s weird, but I’d much rather move forward onto the next thing. I bet a lot of directors don’t watch their own movies after they’re finished, except maybe Michael Bay.

Good use of company time… I might incorporate this into some Batman villain print or something… if I get time.

Messing around with Sketchbook Pro on my Nexus 7. Colored up that Gambit sketch from earlier. A little wonky but I could get used to the this.

Some attempt at doodling Gambit. You know, from the X-People?

I might start posting more of what I call “legal pad doodles.” These are doodles I do at work on legal pads or post-it notes because I can’t bring a sketchbook with me to work. Trying to doodle more, let’s see how this goes.

FACEBEAST! We’re running a Kickstarter to help fund the printing of our comic book. Pictured is a preview of the cover we’re working on for the next issue.

Here’s a full link to the project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/naughtybicycle/facebeast-a-tale-of-a-bearded-super-hero/posts

If you’re unfamiliar with the comic, Facebeast is about a super hero with a super beard. As a beard enthusiast, I felt there weren’t nearly enough super heroes out there with beards. So I made one, and I made his beard the source of his powers! Our hero uses his beard to fight crime, think of it as a shape shifter. He can use to grab, punch, whip, etc. As you might be able to tell, this is not a typical super hero story.

Right now our Kickstarter is hovering around $3700. Since our initial goal was $1000, we’re already fully funded, and then some! So now we’re using the Kickstarter as a pre-order for the book. To ensure your copy, just follow the link and pledge. We also have a lot of cool rewards still available including art commissions and Facebeast merchandise.

Help us get our comic out there! If you can’t pledge, feel free to share with your friends! Thanks for checking it out!

FACEBEAST! The super hero with the super beard! Here is some friend art by Elliot Fernandez. Our Kickstarter is still going strong, we’re just under $3500 at the moment. There’s still time to pledge, and there are lots of great rewards still available!

We’re already funded so now extra money will help fund future issues of the comic, and assist us in a convention tour this year.

BEARDS! BEARDS! BEARDS! In case you didn’t know, I launched a Kickstarter campagin for a comic my girlfriend and I are working on called Facebeast. In short, the comic is about a super hero who gets his powers from his beard. It’s a little offbeat, largely influenced by The Tick, and kind of awesome.

You can visit the Kickstarter here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/naughtybicycle/facebeast-a-tale-of-a-bearded-super-hero

We launched this Kickstarter to help fund the printing of the second issue, the origin story. It has already reached its goal, so right now we’re just securing funds to help us do a convention tour this year and to help print more issues of the comic in the future. We added some neat rewards which include copies of the comic, art commissions, shirts, posters, original pages, and more. Also, we’re trying to hit a few stretch goals at the moment that will reward backers even more.

I think you should check it out. Deal?
