Inky Stories on Tumblr

@inkydavid / inkydavid.tumblr.com

The primary purpose of this Tumblr account is to support Inky Stories (www.inkystories.com), my web comics collection. Genres for my self-contained short stories include satire, horror, smut, sci-fi and crime fiction. In addition, I'll also promote comics history, current artists and collect Tumblr posts: politics and retro-smut. Ask me anything!
I've been published by Fantagraphics Books, SpiderBaby Graphix and FantaCo Enterprises. More recently, my work appears in Inbound and Outbound, anthologies published by the Boston Comics Roundtable.

Sixie storming through the galaxy, a meme that turned into a fun drawing XD Yes this is Nyan Cat inspired and yes it is - unknowingly - @lurking-latinist 's fault, who thought that sharing harmless tags under a post talking about the things Six wears would fall onto deaf ears. But I'm always listening, always watching-

Always.

Coloring Frank's Next Mission

Forgot to set the timer, but this feels like 2 hours of work. First image is stage one flat coloring in progress (haven't touched title, credits, or last panel). Second image is the color flatted file I started with.

Perfecting my 64-color dot emulation technique.

Adjusting my faux-Silver Age comic book art against the actual comics. Elements include opacity, blurring, channel manipulation, hue/saturation & levels, and more accurate newsprint mimicking.

Color flatted from 3:00pm - 5:10pm. Most of the colors flatted. Thinking of coloring the big panel old school (Ben Day dots, newsprint texture, etc.) There's probably another hour or two of flatting to be done here.

It took me 2 hours, 44 minutes to color flat this page. Clearly I'm not a professional.

El Rey Day lettering corrections

Somehow my Ames wheel went from the desired 3.3 to 4.0.

Agent K in "El Rey Day"

Page one reconfigured for the modern aspect ratio. Combined the series tag line, title, and chapter subhead in one graphic. I think the Doc Savage typography is better.
