This month, I’ve been drawing Monster Trucks driving through ancient Chinese Landscapes, for my upcoming Brush with Peril project.\u00a0 This is the final scene to draw for this mammoth 250+ page project! And I’ve gotta tell ya, these images were killing me, with so much detail! Here’s a sample (Can you find the monster trucks?):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(After Wen Zhengming (1470\u20131559), A Graceful Gathering at the Orchid Pavilion (Ming Dynasty 1368-1644), Palace Museum, Beijing:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(After Shen Zhou, Peach Blossom Study (Ming Dynasty 1427-1509), National Museum of China, Beijing:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(After Wang Meng, Ge Zhichuan Moving to the Mountains (Yuan Dynasty), The Palace Museum, Beijing:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And here’s how I make page layouts for this project, by picking the images I want on the page, and figuring out how to place them so they all fit together to include space for the amount of dialogue I plan to have:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once the layouts are determined, I can make the page from those designs:<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Ok, enough blabbing. You’re probably interested to see all the great Patreon features I’ve posted this week (month). Well here are a few items:<\/p>\n

For YOU great $2 Patrons<\/a> (and higher),<\/strong><\/h4>\n

PDF! Doris Danger vol. 1, Chapter 9<\/a> (six pages)<\/p>\n

Also, here are a couple scripts – with some “origin story” info about the creation of Doris Danger’s third volume:<\/p>\n

Doris Danger (vol. 3, Chapter 30), 003 \u2013 Script<\/a><\/p>\n

Doris Danger (vol. 3, Chpt. 1), page 007 \u2013 Script<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition, I realized that there were four Dr. DeBunko<\/a> stories that I thought had been posted, but that had been corrupted and unopenable for who-knows-how-long! So I have restored those to readability, which means it’s a great time to check out the Dr. DeBunko<\/a> page – eight of his eleven published short stories, as well as a fifteen-page never-before-published one!<\/p>\n
