NEWT AND JOHN EARLY CONCEPT ART
TO FINAL DESIGNS

For anyone interested, I've put together a Newt and John gallery of "Concept Sketches to the Final Designs" in my Blog section... including the earliest sketches, Flash Designs and a write-up of the thought process, that lead up to the final comic characters!

You can read more by clicking the thumbnail image below, or click HERE

Enjoy!

COOL NEWS! "Newt and John" were promoted on the official website for the "Comic Life" software I use to create the comic! The "Plasq" company is very enthusiastic about what I've produced with their product, and posted a 'blog' entry, and added Newt and John to their Comic Life "Gallery" on their main company website:

www.plasq.com

You can read more about it on this website in my 'BLOG' section... where I've archived a screenshot of the Plasq Blog.

I just wanted to say a special thanks to Pierre Marcel of www.imageryfusion.com for arranging all of my artwork into this great interactive website! Get in touch with Pierre if you have a site of your own you'd like to improve!

And thanks to you for checking out my Comic, returning for new epsiodes ... and passing a link on to your friends!
