Skin Crawling Comics Update 06.20.13: The Serpentine Cure

Things have truly begun to turn around this year.  By no means has my life returned to the comparatively quiet days before 2010, but I'm seeing some light at least.  Having wrapped up my coloring gig for the Buried story within Skin Crawling Comics, Rachel Pandich has offered me another coloring gig.  WAHOO!  I'll be coloring a story called The Serpentine Cure.

I just got the inked pages and have begun my preparation for coloring.  I wish I could say more really, but I don't want to drop any spoilers.  However, as soon as I know more about the books availability I'll post that.  I'll also have to check with my fellow creators and editors to see if I can post some teaser art.  I'll get on that.  In the meantime, here's the creative team:

From the Archives: Lost Comic Page

This was the first page of a comic book project that got scrapped called He who Dies With The Most Toys.  I was doing the penciling, inking, and  lettering for the entire book.  I think it was just a bit over ambitious for my abilities at the time.

Featured Creature: The Staff of Phyligor

Excerpted from Liam Hofstadter's report for the Department of Extranormal Phenomena (DEP), Superhuman and Supernatural Threats in the New Millennium:

"The Staff of Phyligor is an old world artifact of immense occult power.  Physically, the staff is a simple stang approximately 5.5 to 6 feet tall.  Although the blade and base bulb seem to be made of a silver like metal, the dark material of shaft is unknown.  Those few that have observed the staff in person indicate that the full length of the shaft is inlaid in strange runes of some lustrous black metal.

Psyche Delectus: At The Mountains

In high places
Gravity compels
form out of the very air.
Clouds coagulate against
cold jagged peaks.
Liquid begins its odyssey
back to its source.

UPDATE: Psyche Delectus Tenebrarum

Just a quick heads up from the Psyche Delectus Tenebrarum.  I've added a few more links for past posts at the bottom of the thumbnail gallery and more images to the slideshow.  I'm crunching some ideas for how to display a slideshow of the horizontal pieces and hopefully I'll have those in action soon.  Enjoy!

Here is a pair of demons I created to have Morbid Angel fight in a short comic book page sequence for my portfolio.

Featured Creature: Key of Vz

I must tender my apologies this week.  I've been struggling the past two weeks with summer migraines and I've gotten rather behind on things.  There is a piece of fiction coming for this piece that I will post soon.  Until then, please enjoy the gruesome mystery of the Key of Vz.

New Abstract: The Altar of His Command

His presence precedes him.

New Abstract: Red Wizard Meditation

In the womb of deep earth,
the hearthfire is gently stoked.
In the flickering,
ghosts of the future are seen.

Preview: Storage 24

I actually watched the full movie of this one recently.  It was alright.  I have always kind of been afraid of storage facilities.  All those repeating corridors.  eep.
