December Sun - Issue #2 (pages 1-5) 

Here are the first five pages of December Sun #2. With this issue, and also with issue #3, I branched out into more experimentation with different styles and techniques of inking (probably evident if you notice the differences in every panel.)

December Sun - Issue #1 (pages 1-5) 

Here are the first 5 pages of December Sun #1, that I wrote and illustrated several years ago.

December Sun #3 

Pages from Issue #3 of December Sun. This issue featured more of my experimenting with different inking techniques, with a heavy focus on different pens.

Thanks for the add. It's an honor!

Hey Rob,
Thanks for the add and invite man, really like your work, and can understand the frustration that comes with trying to get your vision out there, what I have seen of yours impresses me.
You obviously have artistic talent and with what I've read thus far, writing ability....
Do not get discouraged my friend, yes it would be great to have a Marvel or DC come callin, but competition is great and many for those two companies.
Give indie publishers a shot; Image, Silent Devil, Arcanum, Slave Labor Graphics etc...
They might surprise you and take you on and eventually you will see your work published.
I'd wish you the best of luck but your there man, you have the tools, now you just have to continue selling yourself and your vision to those who would listen...
By all means feel free to visit my site at; www.surfaceartstudios.com, I am a little more traditional in my style but I hope you like it anyway, let me know what you think...
If you approach Silent Devil, ask for Christian Barenek, and mention my name to him, he knows me and my work...
thanks again Rob, good luck!

Hi, Rob.
I love ev'buddy at Alpha-Omega, but the time lag between issues made it difficult for me to comment on people's tribs. I'm just too oriented to the immediacy of e-mail, and too impatient for A-O's understandable-but-far-apart schedule. The guys said that I can send postings in to them if I have anything significant to add, though. ^_^

Nice sequentials. A very indie look I like. Thanks for sharing in the galleries.

[ Posted by DecemberSun on Mar 1st, 2007 11:34 PM ]... If I had the means I would. But as evidenced by the fact I'm a self-published comic artist, I'm perpetually broke.

Thanks for the add, Rob. Good luck with December Sun. :-)

[ Posted by DKlauba on Feb 22nd, 2007 12:32 AM ]...

Wow! December Sun looks very cool! Thanks for adding me. Now, excuse me I'm going to continue reading DS #1...

[ Posted by InternationalComicShowsUK on Feb 10th, 2007 2:35 PM ]...

Thanks for adding us. Love your comics..very promising, both in dialogue and in art. Your art reminds me a little of early John Bolton and also a little of Kevin Nowlan.

The chracter interplay at the beginning of issue #2 was really good..more of that and you could have a hit on your hands with this book.

If your interested in UK distro, check out my main website at: www.smallzone.co.uk

all the best,

Shane

Photoshop is for people who are too unskilled and lazy to understand and master MS Paint.

[ Posted by DecemberSun on Feb 9th, 2007 8:26 AM ]... I hear ya! Who needs fancy lasso tools and stuff like that, when MS PAINT gives you... ah, the ZOOM feature!

[ Posted by Al_Creed on Feb 8th, 2007 10:38 AM ]...

MS Paint comics are the wave of the future, friend.

Be afraid. ;)
