Bone Realm - Chapter One

This is the complete Chapter One of Bone Realm, the webcomic project I've been working on for the past year.

For the first two chapters, I experimented with different styles, trying to figure out the best method of incorporating my detailed, illustrative inking style into a graphic novel format. During Chapter One, I was working mainly with gradients in Photoshop, painstakingly selecting areas and then adding effect fills which looked okay but sort of made me wince at the same time. I was happy with the way my drawing was improving, but there was always some uneasiness with the whole digital process.

Despite the rough edges, Chapter One got along swimmingly with its internet readers, encouraging me to forge ahead into Chapter Two.

Memories Surge Feebly Through a Decaying Brain

Apochamar
Album: Soulless
Track Title: "Memories Surge Feebly Through a Decaying Brain"
Notes: Soulless began as a demo album for a soundtrack. The first 4 tracks sound particularly eerie because my lack of decent recording equipment forced me to heavily distort and manipulate the sound.

Introduction

My goal for this blog is to create a public hub where all my artistic endeavours may be presented and/or linked, with brief descriptions and the opportunity for others to comment. I will try to curb my tendency for excessive verbosity, focusing instead on the presentation of my art, and occasionally the art of others.

I'm not sure how structured this will be. I have a vague idea of presenting one new work a week and one old work every day until I start to run out of old stuff (which could take a while). I want to mix it up, with different mediums and so forth, so that visitors will be able to see right away that I do a variety of things.

So without further ado, let's begin.
