Digital Short #2 “MISSED CALL” – Work in Progress

Artist Shounak Jog (India Authentic, Vargav) has picked up the script for Digital Short #2 MISSED CALL and sent in some WIP thumbs when I was away at SDCC.

Shounak has a great flowing style that I admire a lot (He did awesome work for India Authentic : GARUDA issue) and I, for one, am waiting eagerly to see what he does with the script. If the rough WIP thumbs below are any indication, we’re in for a visual treat. 🙂





Enjoy these while we wait for Shounak to finish the short, after which it shall be posted here. Meanwhile you can enjoy Sid Kotian’s work on Digital Short #1 REMASTER.

Some Vivek Shinde awesomeness while I go off to SDCC 2010

Today Vivek exploded my inbox with the sheer awesomeness of his artwork. In keeping with his painted style, he just knocked the visuals out of the park. If it were up to me, I’d dump the whole goddamned chapter over here. But I guess you’ve got to buy the book, to see it all.

So while I scoot off to San Diego for SDCC 2010, why don’t you already hold your jaw wide open (to save time) at the sneak peek below.

Another Teaser

Following up on teaser I posted earlier, here’s another one done with a slightly more “euro” style. The images used are from interior art by Vivek. As usual, your comments/crits are most welcome.

Also in other news, good things are happening vis-a-vis MC in a medium other than comic books :), more on that when we are allowed to share.

In case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the chapter 1 preview
