Hello again!
I was fortunate enough to win a ‘Retweet Award’, for retweeting about James’ ace RPG webcomic, Sidekick Quests. Check out James’ twitter feed for YOUR chance to win 🙂
James happily drew Vanguard team leader, Pendragon. I’ll post any fan art sent in and link it to your site, so if you want a boost in traffic, send some in!
See you Wednesday!

Check out this AMAZING Jordana art by Steven Stahlberg… If you’re a fan of his style check out his Patreon where he gives tutorials on digital painting. . I mean, DAMN. I’ll be signing up to see what I can learn from the guy!
EDIT: Steven has given us the thumbs up to use this image as the cover for issue 10. What a guy!

Hello there!
Was delighted to find that Tony Esmond, top reporter for Down The Tubes, a Brit related Comic news/reviews site, has reviewed VANGUARD.
Go take a read and see if you agree with Tony’s opinion on the comic.
See you soon!

Hello you!
Was overjoyed to find that last week that ace comic artist Neil Ford had drawn an amazing Daedalus pic for me 🙂
He welcomed the idea of slapping some colours on it, so I did so!
I absolutely love the harsh black and white inks Neil has gone for here. I tried not to wash that out on the colours.
All the best,
Dan
Hello you!
As you may or may not be aware, I recently designed and drew the cover for Bradley Pott’s Stalker issue five. Below is the process I went through to get the final image.

Bradley gave me the script to the issue. I read it through and picked out several key moments that I could illustrate to provide a cover image. I drew nine thumbnails and sent them over (phase one). Bradley indicated the ones that he liked and I developed them further (see phase two).
The design was chosen by Bradley from the nine I gave him. I then went head and made up the cover, as you can see on the graphic above.
I’m a firm believer of drawing readers into a comic by teasing the contents within and not just have a pin-up. That said, A good pin-up cover does have its place.
Do you have a favorite cover? Gimme a link and I’ll check it out, as I always like to see what other people are into.
All the best,
Dan
