Concept art for a lighting bug mascot! This little guy was meant to be a mascot to educate people about the usage of lumens to measure light bulb brightness rather than watts. I like the squarish one the best.

In case anyone is curious about my digital inking setup, here’s a little behind the scenes! I recently upgraded from a Cintiq 12 to a Cintiq 13HD. The two feel a little different, but mostly the 13HD just feels like an upgraded version of the 12. If you have a newish version of the Wacom driver, it includes the ability to adjust your pressure curve. I like mine to be a little slower right at the start to get delicate lines, but then pick up faster towards the middle, and then hit max at a lower threshold than default. This lets me get thin lines when I need them, but not have to clamp down and mash my pen into the screen to hit the thicker lines, sparing my poor hand/wrist from further heading towards repetitive stress injuries. The above example features three different brushes that I dig. The first one is a basic Photoshop round. Smoothing is on, and Spacing is down to 5%. The second one is part of Frenden’s Photoshop Penciling and Inking Tool Presets, found here:http://frenden.myshopify.com/ The third is from Kyle Webster’s Ultimate Photoshop Brush Pack 1, found here:https://gumroad.com/l/DqhZ Happy Inking!

BARTKIRA covers 1-6: COMPLETE!

As soon as I heard about the BARTKIRA idea, I jumped at the chance to contribute pages. The editors told me that the 2,200 pages had already been assigned to 400+ artists (within days!), but encouraged me to try my hand at the covers. I drew the Vol. 1 cover as an experiment, but got such a positive response that I went ahead and obsessively drew Volumes 2-6 without much sleep in the past 2 weeks.

Blatantly copying Katsuhiro Otomo’s covers was a fun and enlightening exercise. That being said, apologies to Otomo and The Simpsons people for all the liberties I took with their creations! I’m excited to follow all the new Bartkira artwork as they trickle in from the many talented artists/fans involved.

Check out Jeremy Arambulo’s sick ass cover recreations for the Bartkira project!
