Day 3(.5)

Well, it's still Tuesday in California, right?

...right??

Anyways, here's a character-clothing design I've had floating around in my head for a while.

Monday's Post 20minutes late

Oops.  I just didn't get around to scanning the sketch until late, I swear!

A fan-character of mine from the Air-Gear universe.  Wanted to play around with dynamic perspectives.

Now on to watching the third season of Battlestar Galactica while inking chapter 5 of OcculTango, hahaha.

New Beginning

It has been a long while since I posted here (oops), but that's all about to change.
From now on, I will be doing a 'sketch-a-day' post.  The subtext is that the sketch has to be something I'm actually satisfied with.
So, yeah!  Frequent posts from now on!
Maybe in a month or so, I'll start doing an 'illustration-a-week' post as well as recording myself working on them to make an sped-up video of the process for people to view.  The logistics of that will be figured out once I'm actually ready to do it.  I want to get comfortable with the sketch stuff first.

So, without further ado, the sketch to start us off!

A character I've been playing around with for a couple months.  Her outfit, so far, has remained relatively unchanged, but I will be changing it around a lot until I'm ready to introduce her (probably around the summer-fall next year).  Expect to see more of her from now on.

OcculTango Volume 1 is here!!

(11/5 -Price edit!)

I just received the books yesterday and I am really happy with how they've turned out!

 

The books are standard comic book size (NOT manga, as indicated by the size comparison).

The books feature chapters 1-4 as well as 4 exclusive illustrations, 3 sketch/note pages, and the 2-page comic that started this all!

I will be selling 16 of the books at MiX (Minneapolis Indie Comic Expo) on November 5th and 6th.  If you are unable to attend and want a book, you can reserve a copy by emailing me at cbutterbaugh(at)gmail(dot)com.

The book is $10 + shipping (which is around $5 for US residencies).  It will also include a personalized sketch of your choosing.

Alive!

I'm still here, I promise!
There hasn't been too much that I can talk about here since I'm only working on getting the first volume of OcculTango finished and nothing else.  I'll actually be able to work on random illustrations once this thing is finished.  It's going to be a super crunch, but I'll manage and get it done on time; there's no other option.

Here's a teaser panel from chapter 3 so that I'm not completely disappointing anyone.

Watch out, ladies!

OcculTango Ch.1 Book Sale

So, I was rummaging through my OcculTango stuff, trying to organize it, and I found the two chapter 1 books that were on display for my senior project. I'm willing to part with one of them if anyone wants to buy it for $5 (+ shipping costs if you're not close enough for me to hand it to you). I'll throw in a personalized illustration and sign the book (if you want). The covers are a little scruffed from being handled, but... yeah... I'm not going to print anymore of these.

If a lot of people want it, I may offer the second one as well and make this a random raffle thing...

Keep in mind that the 1st Volume of the series (Ch1-4 + exclusive illustrations and notes) will be available at the beginning on November.

OcculTango is finally here!!

Yup yup yup!
As the title suggests, the OcculTango webcomic sit is finally live!
I hope you all read it and give it a chance because I've put a lot of work and time into this project!
It updates every Monday, but it will switch to a 2-day/week update in about a month or so.

ComicGenesis is being janky right now, so to get to the second page of the comic (not including cover), you'll have to go through the archive page.  Sorry for the inconvenience :/
