Hi-rez here: http://dereklangille.blogspot.ca/2016/01/david-bowie.html

Your stuff on INTERstate look gorgeous! Just curious, do you have your rates for coloring posted anywhere?

Thanks, Sean, that's nice to hear! 

I hadn't really given any thought to hiring myself out as a colorist. I think if I took on any outside work right now, INTERstate would grind to a halt - and I work slowly enough as it is. For the time being I must regretfully decline, but you've made my day by asking!

@seangregorymiller replied to your photoset:INTERstate issue01 page02

This looks so great. Put me down for a copy or two!

Thanks! It's a multi-issue project with each issue containing 20 pages. I'm creating and posting one page a week (posted page 2 yesterday, starting work on page 3 tonight). I'd produce pages faster, but I have a day job to deal with - I'd love to be able to work on it full time. At a page a week, each issue should take 5 or 6 months   D:

This is an entirely digital undertaking. When the first issue is complete, I may print copies, or collect the hi-rez pages into a PDF or something.  :D

From MICRONAUTS #48

This is the following page to that last one.

Now, what’s unusual about it? Go ahead. I’ll wait.

Okay, you got your answer? Right. The color splashes in the background. They’re not trapped by black. Now, this far from the first time this technique was used, even in THE MICRONAUTS, but it’s really effective here. You have to remember, this was before digital coloring, when everything had to be replicable on offset presses that could mass produce. And the team on this one pulled it off pretty magnificently.

The page itself is pretty cool, with Mantlo channelling the King at his most cosmic and Guice/Bulandi delivering.

I actually wonder what the original page looks like, if Guice separated out the individual elements on rubylith or what.

I think that a huge problem is people who read comics and don’t understand the point of superheroes, which is to be the best version of yourself. You love Captain America? Well, you know what Captain America would never do? Go online anonymously and shit on a girl for having an opinion.

From the Line it is Drawn #200: "The theme is a revisit of one of my all-time favorite topics, Week 50′s “Super Team.” Make up your own super-team consisting of 1 Marvel character, 1 DC character, 1 character from an independent comic book company and 2 characters from any other form of fiction (novels, movies, whatever)." micQuestion suggested: "Storm, Vixen, Michonne, Promethea (Sophie Bangs), Yoruichi (Bleach)"
