Page 4/4 of the comic we did for the Lupin/Zenigata zine: Love & War. I’m so pleased with how this comic turned out, I don’t usually colour comics but this needed the pop of colour especially on this page. Thanks for reading. Alola, Darumaka will return next week! Behind the scenes can be seen over… Continue reading In My Sights – 4

Lupin’s Gourmet World: Eggnog

Lupin’s Gourmet World: Eggnog published on No Comments on Lupin’s Gourmet World: Eggnog

Michelle and I did a comic for the Lupin’s Gourmet World zine. How it worked was chef’s submitted recipes and an artist got paired up to each recipe to illustrate it. We got Sel’s eggnog recipe, which I did actually make myself successfully! Michelle also had some pickle recipes in the zine and will be… Continue reading Lupin’s Gourmet World: Eggnog

Comic page, 2 panels. Panel 1 shows a young Lupin and Jigen, where Jigen is facing the left and angrily bending himself forward while Lupin is behind him worried and reaching a hand out. Jigen’s yelling “Lupin! I’m gay! …okay?”. Panel 2 shows an open panel with no borders or background, a shoulder up shot of Lupin’s concerned face. Lupin says “So?”

Also testing out TrueGrit’s halftone machine on this comic and… I gotta say y’all, I kinda love it! I’ve been wanting to do more halftone work but haven’t… Continue reading Coming Out – 1

Comic with four panels, done in black and white with halftones. Panel one shows a young Jigen with his back to the camera and his shoulders tense. He says “So…?” Panel two, a larger panel with a close up shot of his face as he turns around and looks to the right, his expression is pained and there’s a tear in his eye. He yells “Doesn’t that bother you?!” Panel three is a wide panel with young Lupin in the center from the shoulders up. He’s mad as Jigen accuses him. He says “No. Should it?” Panel four is an open panel of the two boys looking at each other from a side view. Jigen is leaning back away, while Lupin leans in closer with a determined and expectant expression.

Page 2/3 of this little short comic about Jigen. It’s an idea I’ve had for a while, even before Zero, but after Zero came out I thought that’d be the perfect way to present the idea.   This page in particular, the dialogue has been floating around in my head for probably well over a… Continue reading Coming Out – 2

Comic with three panels, done in black and white with halftones. Panel one floats atop a big open panel. Young Jigen is startled and unsure of himself, he says “N-no…” Panel two is a big open panel with no borders or backgrounds, it shows a confident young Lupin with his hands on his hips and his eyes closed. He says “I mean my grandpa is into guys too, you know. So I know what’s up!” Panel three is a big wide panel with Jigen in the center from the waist up. He’s blushing and looking down and to the left with his shoulders by his ears, still a bit tense, but smiling now. He says “Uhh, yeah. Okay. Cool.”

Page 3/3 of this little coming out story I’ve been wanting to draw for a while. Hope you enjoyed it! Really enjoyed using the halftones for this one, I’ve been wanting to find a way to use them for a long time but couldn’t find a set that matched my lines like I’d like. Maybe… Continue reading Coming Out – 3

Panel 1: Wide shot, overhead view. Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon are sitting in a rough triangle, all generally facing away from each other. Their exact positioning doesn't matter, we just need to establish that all three of them are together. Jigen is sitting on his back on a couch, spread out with his arms behind his head and his hat over his eyes. His pose is relaxed but he's tense and what we can see of his mouth shows him frowning. Goemon is sitting cross legged on the floor, meditating. However he is not at peace and he is also looking upset. Lupin has his back to the reader as he sits at his desk smoking a cigarette, but his shoulders are hunched and tense. Panel 2: Medium shot, front/overhead view. These three panels are meant to show the the gang are all upset at each other, with some variation on how the three of them show it on their face. We cut to a close up of Jigen's face, showing in more detail that he is scowling deeply. Panel 3: Medium shot, front view. Cut to Goemon, who is also frowning, with more focus on the scowl lines between his eyebrows (as a contrast to Jigen where the focus is naturally on his mouth). Panel 4: Medium shot, front view. Cut to Lupin, who is furiously smoking his cigarette. He's looking down at his desk, maybe pretending to be working on something instead of sulking, but he's clearly upset as well.

Page 1/4, of the comic Michelle and I did for “Between Heists” a Lupin Fan Works Collection (bigcartel) (itchio) The premise was the Lupin gang on their days off, so Michelle and I wanted to do a comic about them not always getting along. It was very different working in a square format! Grab an… Continue reading Between Heists – 1

Comic page done in grey textured tones and black lines. Panel 1: Wide shot, rear view. Lupin from behind, sitting at his desk. Our focus is on the SFX of his stomach gurgling. Leave enough visual room for Lupin to stand up in the next panel. SFX (Lupin): grrul gurrg Panel 2: Wide shot, rear view. The panel angle and position remains the same and Lupin pushes his chair back and stands up. There should be a lot of tension and anger in his body language. He's not happy to have his moping interrupted. Panel 3: Wide shot, front view. Cut to the hideout's messy kitchen. We can see the fridge, some counter, and the sink. The fridge has the door swung open and is almost completely empty. There might be a few bottles of random sauces, and maybe an empty take out container or bag. The counter has dirty dishes stacked into disgusting towers and the sink is completely full of unwashed pots and pans. There may be various stains on the cupboard drawers. There's a lot of room in this panel to draw whatever you're feeling, as long as it looks messy.

Comic page drawn in greyscale with very textured greys. Panel 1: Wide shot, side view. Jigen is lounging on the couch, in the same position he was in page 1 panel 1. Lupin is leaning over his head and thrusting a shopping list into his face. This angle should be a bit awkward to feel free to play that up. Both men are still scowling at each other. Lupin: "Groceries." Panel 2: Wide shot, side view. Lupin is crouched down beside Goemon, who is also in the same pose and page 1. Lupin is squatting beside where Goemon is sitting and it looks a bit goofy. Both of them are looking angry, Lupin looking at Goemon and Goemon with his eyes closed. Lupin might have one arm up a bit, perhaps pointing at Goemon or at the kitchen, or both arms are down by his knees, whatever you prefer. Lupin: "Dishes." Panel 3: Wide shot, rear view. Lupin is standing next to the stove cooking. There are pots and pans on most/all of the burners, various things cooking/boiling/frying. There are bottles and jars of spices scattered around him, bowls full of diced veggies, other veggies and pieces of meat sitting beside him waiting to be processed. He's standing in front of a mostly cut-off cutting board, furiously chopping up something. Whatever you want him to be cooking works, but the scene should be chaotic. This isn't just any meal he's making, this is something fancy and complicated. SFX (cutting board): tk tk tk tk

Page 3/4, of the comic Michelle and I did for “Between Heists” a Lupin Fan Works Collection (bigcartel) (itchio) Once again, I went all out on that last background and I’m so proud of it. Comparing it to the first Lupin zine I did a comic for is so wild (which also involved grumpy cooking)!

Comic page in greyscale. Panel 1: Wide shot, side view. Jigen, Lupin, and Goemon are all sitting around a table, still angry, silently eating dinner together. They're eating whatever food you want to draw. Jigen has a bottle of whiskey and a tumbler next to him, Lupin a bottle of wine and a glass, Goemon a sake bottle (or container like ours) and glass. Goemon is also eating his meal with chopsticks. The drinks should be centred, showing that everyone's preferences were taken into account, even when they're all angry at each other. The scene is silly but charming.

Comic page in black and white with halftones. Panel one, Goemon and Lupin are in profile looking at each other angrily. Both of them are beat up, with bruises and black eyes. Goemon says “Sex maniac.” while Lupin replies “GASP! You’re the one flirting with everyone!” Panel two, a close-up of Goemon’s face as he says through gritted teeth “You are the one monopolizing both.” Panel three, Lupin exclaims “What?!” while the speech bubble falls over both panels two and three. A close-up shot of Lupin’s bruised face to mirror Goemon’s from the previous panel, he has his mouth agape as Goemon insults him.
