The end is nigh for Hero High. Diego has finished all 22 pages of pencils and inks now, (well one more page of inks to go) and just has to fill in the colours now. It’s exciting to see all of the blacks down and finalized, and it is easy to imagine how great it is going to look when it is finished. There really aren’t many titles out there that are this tight, in terms of both story content and artwork, that are marketed to a younger audience so I have to say I’m quite psyched to be part of this project.
Rip Current also is looking very promising, with some very nice inks by Christian this week. Patricio has close to 20 pages pencilled and the inks and colours are close behind. This book has some really richly detailed artwork reminiscent of some of the best European comics and Anime.
Zeros 2 Hero’s latest title Mind Crimes got off to aslightly delayed start, due to the writer, Nick Andreychuk’s new baby’s birth coinciding with Mind Crime’s win the final round of Comic Creation Nation (Congratulations Nick!), but it beginning to come together as the art team begins to tackle this story with style. A sci -fi/ noir thriller, Mind Crimes also takes place in a dystopian, not so distant future. Pencils and inks will be provided by Sidney G. Lima, Here’s the pinup.

I love the pinup for Mind Crimes! You must be so psyched, Nick! And what can you say about Hero High? Diego is clearly maintaing his high standard of excellent artwork: he can really bring a vision to life! Sadly, Carmen, the image of artwork from Rip Current won’t load for me, so I can’t see it well enough to comment. Still, I know you have a great art team working on it, so I know it will be beautiful!

You’ve got that right, Tenzil — I’ve been so psyched to see the comic get going. I can’t wait for everyone to see page X.
Glad you two like the pin-up, I think it’s pretty amazing, too. Sidney did a great job capturing the mood of Mind Crimes.
And, as usual, Diego and Patricio have done some great work. I do indeed love that dinosaur skull!

Shame on me!
Everyone is talking about the dinosaur, and I forgot to paint his eye in black!

We’ll just get a cool old-bone colour in the eye socket…
