Entry 36: Also out!

I didn't know about this till it was sent to me by Dark Horse message board regular, Yodazone. Pretty sweet. It's nice to get so much mileage out of a piece that was just done for the fun of it.

Entry 31: INDY-cision...

 Dark Horse is launching a five issue Indiana Jones miniseries titled "Indiana Jones and the Tomb of the Gods." Wizard magazine had a small article announcing the project with me as the artist and showing an exclusive piece of art by me. It's my first time being mentioned in Wizard magazine or having a piece printed. It's very exciting. It would be even more exciting if it were true. I'm actually not doing the series. I was going to do the series. I had been talking with the editor, Jeremy, and writer Rob for a while about doing it and gearing up to do it. It was almost certain that I would be drawing this series. I was just waiting till Jeremy and Rob had hammered out the story and gotten it approved by Lucas film. The longer it took for them to get an approved script the less lead time I had. It got to a point where it was clear that, if they wanted this series to come out at the same time as the movie, they would need someone who could do it a lot faster than I could. My past track record showed that I would take to much time on the work. So it was decided by Dark Horse and LF to get a different artist. It was very disappointing for me. I was really getting pumped on drawing Indy and I think Rob has really got a good story going. But they're right, If I had done the book it probably would have been late. There wasn't enough lead time to make the book as cool as I wanted to make it.
 The good news is that I get to stick with Star Wars for a bit longer. More on that later:)
 The picture that Wizard ran is just a sketch I did of Indy. Here are some more sketches.
