I've been watching a lot of Star Trek Next Generation lately. I'm having a great time. It's a great show! 

Okay bye.

Dustin's Blog Supplemental:

I’ve spent most of the past year working on my upcoming creator-owned comic series, Paklis, which has been great. It's so creatively fulfilling, but I'm making no money. I won’t be making any money off Paklis until it’s published. To stay focused, I’ve been turning down all work-for-hire. So, I’ve basically just been living off savings, which is okay I guess. I did save it for this purpose. But it is stressful to watch funds dwindle as I work on a project that a big part of me fears people wont even like.

Anyway, immediately following the election, I guess the future just seem too uncertain and I had a moment of weakness and I excepted 2 paying cover jobs. So here those covers are!

Entry 71: Ghost Riders Heaven's on Fire #4

Alright! My first cover for Marvel is done and here it is.

This will be the cover for Ghost Riders: Heaven's on Fire #4.

I've done a few sketches of GR in my sketch books over the years but I've always wanted to do a finished piece. He's a great looking character. He's so simple and pure. Leather, spikes, chains, motorcycle, and a flaming skull, it doesn't get more bad ass than that. If you tried to get more bad ass than that, then you'd be trying to hard.

I'd really like to do more GR covers but I'm about to dive into a project that is going to be pretty demanding. So I can't really do it right now, but here's hoping there are a few more Ghost Rider pieces in my future.

These were the sketches I submitted to the editor. I don't normally do sketches with any rendering like this. This was a first. But I did find it helpful as I went into the final piece.
