Rapid City heats up.

Josh — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 03:25:27 +0000

I just read an amazing book on directing film, which just happened to find in my living room. Really, no one is sure where it came from. It has changed my perspective on scene construction an sent my back through my scripts for “Rapid City”. I am so excited about the changes that are being made. Subtle changes and inmprovements here and there just thrill me. Like the whole thing is shifting into super-high-def focus.

And, in real news, The REAL Rapid City hit temperatures higher than 100 degrees on Saturday according to The Rapid City Journal.

Is life imitating art? Check out the pencils for Micah’s pin-up of Flamethrower fighting a tankbot and you tell us which Rapid City is hotter.

Wraith.

There are some things far scarier than bats or the devil. There’s something that won’t die, there’s justice in the dark, there’s… Wraith!

Micah is just blowing me away with his latest work. It’s top notch and I know everyone is just going to love it.

So enjoy.

Viper.

Micah — Sat, 27 May 2006 06:16:33 +0000

In essence, Viper’s story is a Bildungsroman so we will see him progress through a number of developmental stages in his life as a superhero. To emphasize this, he will wear a number of costumes throughout the series. This is one of them. Jason and I are still going back and forth on designs, but we’ve settled on a couple.

Love,

Micah

[SNEAK PEEK] Promo Art.

Micah — Sun, 23 Apr 2006 19:47:50 +0000

Here’s some promo art I’ve been working on for the Motor City Con. As you know from Josh and Jason we are working to get a lot done for the show. So this is part of my contribution. I’m pretty happy with how these turned out and so are Josh and Jason. I suppose it’s time I gave Jason back his “Mojo” now. hehe.

Any ways take a look and enjoy.

Love, Micah.

Well, we are hard at work on getting things ready for the Motor City Comic Con next month and Micah is just blowing me away (he stole my mojo) with his latest work. It’s so solid and just incredible. Here’s a sneak peak.

Looks like Micah’s new scanner is working. This is the top of the pile of the new art work he’s been sending us.

Rapid City: Wraith Design

Micah — Sat, 14 Jan 2006 05:41:37 +0000

Well, here’s my take on Wraith. As per Josh’s description, he’s a bunch of metal pipes held together with leather straps. He takes a long time to draw, but I think he looks pretty cool. Also, Josh, I put some more definition in the eye sockets for you here. Is this more like what you were thinking?

Love,

Micah

Rapid City: Red Lion (Outfit Design b1)

Micah — Fri, 13 Jan 2006 08:47:15 +0000

I have my Red Lion concept, and Jason has HIS Red Lion concept, but we need to pin down what he’s going to look like. I think that a bit of both will be best. I think that Jason’s pants are about right (I will not try to defend the sweats on my sketch), but neither of us have the head right yet. We need to both study lion heads. It needs to be massive, muscular, and furry. Also, I am worried about the color scale of the character. Red can all too easily become pink (which we don’t want) or sunbursty (which may be okay at times, but is also kind of ‘hippy’ looking). I’m working on an oil study of the character to get this pinned down.

In the meantime, I think we should look at what we have so far and build sketches out of those:

My Splash on the Blog

Micah — Fri, 13 Jan 2006 07:48:02 +0000

Well, Josh was naggin’ so I got to loadin’ up some of my sketches. This is the Rapid City splash that I came up with because I finally got a new sketchbook (after some three years–glad as hell to be drawing again!). I always start a new sketchbook with a little intro splashpage. Not sure why, but it makes it feel official or something.

Anyway, this piece makes me pretty proud because the three of us hashed out these characters like crazy over the last few weeks or so and finally, I think, have them designed.

Love,

Micah
