Mimetic Poly-alloy

Here's a little "behind-the-scenes" for ya. The first image is the final pencil version of a page from #26. The second image is what I had drawn originally. In the script, Peter had written "flat like a spear" to describe her hand. Since Jaz is a shape-shifter, I mistakenly thought he was making a reference to TERMINATOR 2, so that's how I drew it. He was actually asking for a good, old-fashioned "spear hand" or "kwan soo" from martial arts, to illustrate how badass our girl Jaz was.

Also notice that I'd screwed up and drawn pants on She-Hulk in the last panel, originally... Thankfully, he caught that, too.

I was moving pretty fast when I did this page, but ultimately, it had some stuff I really dug. Favorite parts of this page include the cold look on Jazinda's face when she impales him and then panel 3 when she walks past the soaking wet, stunned Jen and tells her "I'll be in the car." Oh, and Jaz's hand on his shoulder in panel 1.

Bearly Legal

Some pencils from issue #26. That bear was fun to draw. The page description was something about a big "grizzly", but in the dialogue, Jen was talking about "black bears". So, I just went somewhere in between with a generic comic book bear. I particularly liked his big, flabbery lower lip. It didn't come through in the scans, really, but I had a bunch of drool whipping off that lip, too.

More process

I thought this was kinda cool. Here's another example of some behind-the-scenes of how I work, sometimes. The script called for Jaz to be scanning some FBI files or something with this holographic/projection of a sort of 3D computer screen, so I blocked in floating screens in the pencils and then mocked up a separate version of the page with how I thought it might look cool. All kinds of layering of "greeked" text, images, symbols, etc... floating in front of her, glowing and translucent. I haven't seen the printed version, so I don't know what coloring came up with, but I thought this was a cool opportunity to get some funky design in there.

Pencilage

Haven't posted for awhile, so here're some pencils from SHE-HULK #25.

A Fistful Of Pages

Now that it's on newsstands, here are a few pages from SHE-HULK #23.

More Fun With A Pencil

I see they've got these pages from #23 posted over at http://www.comicscontinuum.com/

Pencil Pushing

Now that issue #22 is out, I'll post some pages. I got a kick out of some of the faces on these.

In The Green

Since they've released these pages to the web, I figured I'd finally throw some of the pencils up here. From Marvel's SHE-HULK #22, written by Peter David.
