Between work being crazy, spending time writing/roughing out my next project, and helping friends with personal projects, it's been a busy time. Here are a couple of things I've been doing between all the madness.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to nail down the look of my next project, so I've been experimenting with brushes to get the right textures down. This is by no means a finished piece, just a fun way to experiment with different techniques to carry forward.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here are some sketches that got me to this point. After doing some research, I decided to make him more turtle-like, so I changed the shell a bit, moved away from the traditional fingers/toes to more of a claw, and gave him a beak (sort of like in the early Mirage comics, but more stylized and cartoony here). I also wanted the elbow/knee pads to have the texture/style of a samurai outfit but it doesn't quite come across here. Overall, it works for me. I might have to revisit this sometime.</div>

Here's a logo I designed for a cancer walk. The bull was modeled after a plush toy that served as inspiration for a cancer survivor. A simplified version of this logo was printed on T-shirts for the whole team.</div>

And lastly, I'm still toying with the logo for my next project, The GR8TS. The story takes place in the 60s, so I'm experimenting with different color palettes from that era while also trying to maintain some modern elements. It'll make sense once the story gets off the ground (hopefully in the next couple of months).</div>

BookCon is now over and the turnout was amazing. An estimated 8-10k visitors attended the show and it was great to meet so many parents and kids who were interested in our books and future projects. Funny enough, one of the biggest draws to our booth was a "guess-how-many" game where guests were asked to estimate how many candies were inside a ketchup bottle, used to promote BMS Kids newest book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Catch-Up-Ketchup-Al-Mauriello/dp/0692214453/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401892032&sr=8-1&keywords=catch+up+to+the+ketchup" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Catch Up to the Ketchup</span></a>. Congrats to our 2 winners, one of whom nailed the number and the other was only off by one! While it was fun to exhibit in NY, we were also busy making connections with other publishers and vendors. We're looking to book more shows, so check back here for more info in the coming months.<br />
<br />
<br />
As I mentioned, we are early on in the process of starting a sequel to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Melvin-Mediocre-Meaty-Ogre-1/dp/0692210652/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1401892200&sr=1-1" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Melvin the Mediocre Meaty Ogre</span></a> (on sale now). Here's a logo for that story, slated to be completed by next year.<br />

On it you'll find the 1st project we've collaborated on, Gotham Prep Academy, and new projects in the works like Thrall and Pangaia. Thrall is a 12 page short story written by Al and is being illustrated by me. Here's a peek at some early character designs. Look for the completed webcomic in the coming weeks. Also, check out the new tabs on the right side of the screen for links to my professional design work, art directed/storyboarded videos, and other webcomics.<br />

Set in a mythical world, the Loch, a sea-dwelling race, and the Loam, a land-dwelling race, are at odds during a long drought. Both groups need water to survive, but when rationing is no longer an option, a war erupts. The main characters, Ocellus and Fleur, find themselves on opposite sides of the battle but soon discover they may have more in common than they thought. Infused with Greek mythology and other fantasy elements, <i>The Loch And The Loam </i>is about facing destiny and finding inner strength. More to come.<br />

Our goal was to develop a cartoon that we'd like to see on the small screen, and eventually pitch it to DC. As we've come to find out (in the later stages of development), the idea isn't new, but we feel we've taken it in a slightly different direction than what may have been previously done.<br />
<br />
The concept of taking the Batman universe and showing these characters during their high school years was intriguing for us. A few questions we wanted to tackle were what would these characters look like as teens, what would they study, who would they be friends (or enemies) with, and most importantly, what happens during their formative years that will lead them to become who they become.<br />
<br />
Check out our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gotham-Prep-Academy/379007578847677?ref=hl"><span style="color: yellow;">facebook</span></a> page for character bios and Like it to get updates from us. Here are a few character sheets that show some of my rough sketches and notes, tightened pencil sketches and the final colored versions. Also included is a toy package mock-up.<br />
