Where is every-Body?

Posted on July 23, 2018 by Roger

Where is every-Body?

Well, as you might have seen I’m changing things up a bit and broadening the scope of this site.

I just got www.XombieInk.com registered and will be using it for sharing my creative output. I’ve used the name for a while but am pushing it forward now.
A little about the new name. I thought it appropriate since Doctor “Xombie” kind of kicked things off and “Ink” refers to the written words (books), artwork, and also the forthcoming comic books. I’m really looking forward to working on and sharing what’s coming up.

 

As this train gets rolling you can keep up with all that’s new by following the below links:

(Trying to get this changed to “Xombie Ink” but I’ll have to wait and see what Facebook does.)

Kolchak Is Back, Baby!… Again.

Posted on July 10, 2018 by Roger

Greetings fright fans!

I know you are saying there I go quoting Kolchak again, but for those of you un-enlightened folks if you haven’t seen Kolchak: The Night Stalker yet, you really should track down the two movies. If you DIG them then look for the TV series that came after. It was a HUGE influence on Chris Carter when he originally created the X-Files.
Anyway… I was watching an episode and was inspired. Here is what came out:
Kolchak (12″ x 16″ watercolor on canvas pad)

Kolchak 12" x 16" watercolor on canvas pad

Kolchak 12″ x 16″ watercolor on canvas pad

This was a new challenge for me as I used a new ‘paper’. Its a ‘canvas pad’ which is basically a cotton cloth but not attached to a wood frame like you usually see paintings on. Its also a lot bigger than the normal size I have worked with.

Although I’m not really into HEAVY horror I’m going to try to do some more “spooky” stuff. I’m having a lot of fun playing around with watercolors.

On the “Doctor Xombie And Fiends” book side of things I have finished the introduction. Another check off the list of things to do for that project. Please stick around as I know you will enjoy it. I know I had a fun time with the stories. Now I just have to get them into a “presentable” state for readers in the form of layouts for the print version and formatting for the e-book.

As always, Thank You for sticking around.
Keep your crosses and stakes at the ready because… I’ll be back…

Happy Little Xombie

Posted on July 2, 2018 by Roger

I’ve been doing a lot more artwork lately so I’d like to share another painting with you. This Doctor Xombie watercolor is a bit bigger at 9″x12″.
I’m just starting out and basically just experimenting and having fun with the character.

 

Speaking of having fun… here’s one Bob Ross did for me…

Okay okay. Yeah its just a bit of fun Photoshop that I threw together.
I used a drawing my friend (and comic book artist) David Summey did for me and stuck it on a Bob Ross screen cap. I thought it actually came out pretty darn good.

We are currently working together (along with another friend Mark Freeman) on a Non-Xombie related project which I’ll let you know more about when the time is right.
(A Doctor Xombie project is also very likely in the future as well.) [fingers crossed]

“The Adventures Of Doctor Xombie And Fiends” book is coming along as well. I got a good amount of work in on it this weekend too.

As always, I’d love to hear any feedback or see any artwork you’d like to share either here or on Facebook.

Until next time…

Procrastination Level 11

Posted on June 19, 2018 by Roger

“Writer Procrastination turned up to 11!!!”

Loosely translated as:
“I mowed my yard in 96 degree Florida weather today instead of working on my book.”

lawnmower

Remember Boys and Ghouls. Stay hydrated.
That is all.
See you next week.

Books On Comix On My Mind

Posted on June 11, 2018 by Roger

I have two more book recommendations for you that I have been reading and enjoying.john byrne and webcomics
The first is another in the ‘Modern Masters’ series about comic book creators.
As with the others in the series it has a very good interview and tons of artwork. John Byrne has always been a real inspiration to me personally so going through this is a pure joy.
You can grab a copy here: Modern Masters Volume 7: John Byrne

 

The other is a book recommend to me by my good friend and fellow artist Dash Cunning. (Keep an eye on his Dash Cunning Facebook page as he has a lot lined up for the very near future.)

 

The second is ‘the Webcomics Handbook’. The title pretty much sums up what its about. Let me just say that it is jam packed with great recommendations and instructions on how to get you up and running in no time with your own online web comic.
Snag it here: The Webcomics Handbook

 

On MY writing front, things are slowly progressing. I don’t have an official release date yet, but rest assured there will be e-book AND physical copies.

I’m really getting back to my drawing and artist side and will be posting more next time….
So, until next time…

Review For ‘Dr. Paul Bearer’s Creature Feature’

"A wonderful book. I spent many of my Saturday afternoons watching "Creature Feature", laughing at the horrible movies, and at Mr. Bennick's special brand of humor. It's great to see that he has been remembered." - Carl Stiles (Amazon.com Review)
