Superman Red Son commission

This was done several years ago for Dave Johnson, who drew the amazing Superman: Red Son series for DC.

Batman and the Joker, inks over Dave Johnson

Dave does layouts like no one else...

Here's another page where the inks don't look much like the pencils but at least this one was planned that way from the start.  Alan Moore script, Dave Johnson layouts, John Nyberg background inks and my finishes.  I don't know if you can see it in the pencils, but Dave drew a Bart Simpson head on the guy in the bottom panel.

I posted page five from this story here but inadvertently labeled it issue #50. As explained last time, Dave Johnson did some terrific layouts, focusing on the tech, backgrounds and hardware. He left the faces and figures less finished because he knew that was the part I could have the most fun with. After I finished the pencils, I inked this page but the inks on the rest of the story were a combination of Dave, me and John Nyberg.  The script was by Alan Moore.

Dave did all the layouts, most of the pencils and quite a bit of the inking on our half of the book.  For this page, Dave faxed me his prelim, then I did a tighter drawing of the flying Mr. Majestic.  He did a larger layout, sent the board to me and I finished the pencils on the close-up and the flying figure.  Then it went back to Dave who inked everything.  Nice colors by the talented Mr. Glen Murakami who did a beautiful job interpreting the lighting.

Drink and Draw in LA

No time for a post today, so here's Dave Johnson, Dan Panosian and Jeff Johnson(?) drinking and pretending to draw while a blonde lady yells at them.
