It's done, and it's not just done, it's donnelly-donnelly-done-done! Well...although it's done, there are some small quirks that needs to be addressed. I've just fixed the last details, the details that I noticed when I looked at them on my kitchen wall. I think that the last minor details will sort themselves out when I start with the teasers.
Writing about the teasers... They will have the form of a trailer but I will not use drawings from the actual story, because it doesn't exist yet! So they will be trailer-esque, you might say. I've written short scripts that introduce the characters and possibly the story, so that one can get acquainted with the story and the characters. And more important, they get me a chance to see if I can pull it off and also to try the characters out, before I delve into one of the projects for real!
Take care!

Character design part 3
This week I will show you the characters from my third upcoming comics project! This project is independent from the previous two, and is a thriller/horror story (of sorts) that takes place here in Gothenburg. These are photos and not scans and I know there are some small details that I will take care of!
At the moment I'm working with the teasers for these projects. A few pages to get a feel for the story and the characters, without telling the whole story...!
Why three projects you ask? Well, I kind of got the two last ideas almost simultaneous, and I kind of like to develop things...so...that's why...I guess...

Character design part 2
Here are the characters for my second comics project. Although I don't want do write too much about it, but I can tell you that the story takes place in the 1930s in Gothenburg and is an action/adventure story.
The characters from last week are from a relationship comedy of sorts... So these two stories are independent from one another.
As I wrote last week, these are photos and not scans. As I have looked at the drawings/characters on my kitchen wall, I have noticed some small things that I will take care of... so the process here is an ongoing one...!
Take care!

Character design part 1
I know you don't believe it, and I have a hard time to do so myself... But...drumroll please...the character design is finished!!!!!!! Well, kind of... What I'm going to do now is to pin these drawings to the wall so I can have a gander at them from time to time. So that I can see if something must be changed to improve them.
The next step is to make the teasers for these comics projects. This will also function as a way to see if the characters work.
These are photos of the character sheets. When the time is right I will make scans of them and add them to my portfolio. Since I tend to play with my cards close to my chest I will not go into great detail about the projects or the characters. Because I don't want to jinx it!
You are very welcome to have a look at the main characters, for one of my upcoming comics projects!
Take care, and stay tuned next week for more characters!

the White buses: documentation
Finally, some published drawings!
A week ago, I got the documentation that has been produced about the event with the White buses. You can see an earlier post about it further down, or just click on the link: http://pglidstrom.blogspot.se/2015/06/the-white-buses.html
Well, just to be honest with you, I must write that I use the term published in the very broadest of means! As I see it, if I submit drawings and they get chosen, and they get printed or a pdf is made, it's a publication!!
So without further ado, here are some screen dumps (is that the correct term?) from the pdf that is the publication.
Take care!
This is the cover of the documentation, just to prove that I'm telling the truth and not pulling a fast one...! ;-)
My comics page...
...and the illustration. The documentation that I received was a low res one so that is why the resolution looks like it does...

The event started already on Friday with a trip to the new Jewish cemetery. My task was to document the event. From quite many photos taken, this is the one they chose for the documentation.

A quick update!
It was some weeks ago, since my last update. As you already know by now the process here is an ongoing one... I’m still working with the character design for my projects... It moves slowly forward, and when I write slowly, I mean sloooooooooooooooowwwwwwwllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! But that is due to some things that has a great input on the business of the day to day life, like working full time, for instance.
A thought that I entertained this week is that if you (or I) want to do more creative stuff, a small step in the right direction is that "wanting". The next step should be to come up with a plan on how to make it work practically. So I guess it’s a combination of theory and practice, kind of...!

the White buses
Finally some pictures!
For the documentation of the day we had with the White buses (see the post below) I did an illustration and a comics page. At first I didn’t think that I would do something for the event. Because we had already gotten a great illustrator. But then I gave it some more thought, and I got two ideas, that were good enough to work with.
Here they are:
This is a sketch of the illustration. The photo here is not that great, but I think you will get the picture...
At first I thought that I would ink the illustration with a steel nib. But that kind of went side ways...and then I tried some different inking nibs and pens and finally a brush! Which to my amazement was the best! So inking with brush is my way of inking...kind of...!
Here is a clean-up drawing of the comics page. When I thought about this page I wanted something simple and easy, and I also wanted to tell a story. But how can you tell a story that has been told in so many ways before, without repeating and get lost in the horror of it. Plus I also wanted it to translate to the here and the now, because people that are considered different are still to this day being hunted or being moved about. I know, it is a tall order but that was what I was thinking about.
The inked version of the same page. As you notice, the final panel is different on the inked version. After I inked it I kind of didn’t like the final panel (the one on the pencilled page). So I gave it some more thought and redrew it and inked it and put it there and scanned it! It works better now I think.
