“The Loa be hungry for Tuna tonight!”
Thanks again to Mr. Blizzard for submitting the winning entry in this year’s Tuna Carpaccio P.I. Villain Contest! Once we get the rest of the site up and running like normal we’ll put the results page back!
Just wanted to remind you that we definitely didn’t forget.
Okay, we were talking the other day about just how much stuff Josh has in his bag of either concept sketches, failed panels, or inks that would otherwise get thrown into the digital incinerator if we didn’t put them somewhere, so we thought “why not spend the downtime while developing the new strips to display some of the artwork?” Naturally, it was the greatest idea we’ve each had in a long time (and Tuna was the last one, although that was more or less 2 years ago… or something).
Anyway, here are some sketches of Josh slowly but surely developing Soul Food! Click any of the images for a much larger version!
Of course, plenty more coming… but yeah, also the strip. So stay tuned! Or attentive to the site/blog/e-comic.
Here are a few more sketches of the development of this recent strip, lots of blue lining, black lining, penciling, inking, sharpie-ing, drawing on sketch books, napkins, random pieces of paper and frenetically on whatever’s available whenever the mood hits Josh. We’ve thought up stuff for Tuna in cars, on trains, in theaters, in restaurants, walking around, in the cold, at night, in the middle of the day, in the middle of the park, in the middle of the night… the list is endless, and so are the sketches. Exactly why we’re going to keep posting. Click on any of them for a much larger version, guys and gals… and enjoy!
This is pretty much exactly what I had in mind. Thanks!
Absolutely! Gotta tell you though, adding more dialog for Soul Food was fun… we were up pretty late that night trying to think of the perfect threats.
Also, check out the Facebook page’s Villain Roster to see the inking for Soul Food too: http://www.facebook.com/pages/KILL-TUNA-CARPACCIO-PI/23704841197
