  Pretty Weird just spent the last hour or so setting up our page and uploading our "The Tragic Tale of Big Fist the Bigfoot" mini comic to the site. 

We plan to make some galleries for our music related artwork, mini comics, and illustration work. We'll make a point to upload some new content to it each Monday when we add our Pretty Weird State of the Union blogpost to the blog. 

Pretty Weird State of the Union #3

 

 

Hey Everyone, 

This is Ethan from Pretty Weird Art coming at you with this week's update on all things Pretty Weird.

Last week we had a death in the family which flat-tired all of our creative projects, but this week we've re-inflated all our tires and are ready to go. 

Rachel is planning her summer teaching schedule for the Outschool platform. She's got a bunch of really fun art summer camps all plotted out. She's schemed some water color and role playing projects, so stay tuned. She's also working on thumbnails for our 2nd Death Elf and Woose graphic novel. 

Today I finished the lettering for three of our backlogged Death Elf and Woose mini comics. I plan to make web banners for our new Deviant Art page and Youtube pages over the next couple of days. 

I plotted out another 6 page mini comic for this week featuring Death Elf and Woose that I can't wait to start drawing. I had some free time this afternoon to work on a cover concept for my Big D mini comic from last year.

It's shaping up to be busy week in the Pretty Weird studios. With any luck, this time next week you'll be seeing the fruit of all our artistic labors. 

 

 

    

Pretty Weird Art: State of the Union #2

 Hi everyone, this is Ethan from Pretty Weird Art.

My weekly state of the artistic union post is obviously delayed this week....

We had an unexpected death in the family, so our artistic plans for the week all took a backseat to handling funeral arrangements and spending time with family members. 

Last weekend we setup our lights and camera and filmed the welcome video for our Youtube channel. Next week we hope to edit and post it. 

Rachel's comic book class students asked us to make a Deviant Art page, so I've made one for Pretty Weird Art. I've not posted anything to it yet, but we hope to start uploading artwork to it this next week. 

I found myself with some free time on Saturday so I added text to our 3-4 back logged Death Elf and Woose weekly comics. I hope to post several of them next week. 

I also had the opportunity to work on a small illustration project for a family friend. She requested a social media friendly comic to illustrate some topics she's discussing online. In a week or so, that project should be completed. 

Here's the first draft of the comic that friend requested. She wanted something that illustrated abusive relationships...

She asked that is be made more subtle...so it could show that even "nice-looking" people could demonstrate abusive relationships...so I redrew the comic below. I based the abuser character after Ned Flanders from the Simpsons. 

March - Pretty Weird State of the Union

Hi, everyone!

 

This is Ethan from Pretty Weird Art speaking.

 I’ve decided to flex my blog-muscles and commit to posting a Pretty Weird progress report at the beginning of each week. I’ll post a few work in progress shots of what we’re working on. If there’s any questions you have about what it’s like to be a comic artist, feel free to shoot us your questions and I’ll do my best to answer them!

So…what’s cooking for Pretty Weird Art for the week of 3/15? Well, we’ve got a LOT on the burner this week.

 This weekend I just submitted the 200 page Skull Gun Bunnies graphic novel to our printer. I spent the weekend editing the final print files. I expect to have the first 25 copies of my graphic novel within the next three weeks. Words cannot express how excited I am to have this project nearly completed. I’ve worked on this comic for the last 5 years and cannot wait to have it in hand. It is seriously the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life. I’m really proud of my gun-fighting bunnies and all the monsters they blast into oblivion.

 

The other thing I’m working on this week is adding the text to the last two weeks’ worth of Death Elf and Woose mini comics. I have the comics completely inked and scanned into the computer. I just need to add some gnarly text balloons and indy pimp font and we’re good to go. Can’t wait to share them with ya’ll.

 

Another big thing that happened this weekend….we finally have a camera so we can record VIDEO! We’ve got all our equipment ready to start our Pretty Weird Youtube channel!!!!! This weekend we hope to break out all the equipment and film an intro video to our Youtube channel.

 

Bird is spending her art time this week roughing out thumbnails for the follow up to last year’s Death Elf and Woose graphic novel. She’s been hard at work on it for the last month. Can’t wait to see what weirdness she has in store for us!

 

As you can tell, we’ve got our hands full this week. With any luck, this time next week we’ll have our first video recorded and posted to our Youtube channel
