Magnus: Robot Fighter #1 is out this week! Written by Fred Van Lente, drawn by me, colored by Mauricio Wallace, lettered by Marshall Dillon and edited by Nate Cosby.<br />
<br />
This is the biggest, coolest project I've done in comics so far, and I'm really proud of how it's turned out. I've worked harder on this than I have on anything before, so I thought I'd share some of the process that went into this book.<br />

When I came into this, the Magnus design had already been nailed by Neil Edwards (see below) and based on that I developed a few variations, seen above. We ultimately ended up sticking with Neil's brilliant design with some minor tweaks by me. I sure do love gauntlets.<br />

Next up was designing the rest of the cast and the world they inhabit, and also some robots. Lots and lots of robots. Some early designs of Leeja and Senator Clane seen below, and you can see the evolution of Leeja's look into how she appears in the book.<br />

When it came to the future city of NorthAm, we wanted it futuristic but not unrecognizable. There are flying cars and robots everywhere, but also plenty of elements from the modern world. <br />

Direction at the time when I worked out these robots sketches was pretty loose, so I was able to really just do whatever and have fun. I tried to come up with a good mix-from clunky rust buckets to sleek humanoids, all shapes, all sizes, anything goes. So much fun. More than a few of these initial designs make it into the the series in various ways, and there's more still to come...</div>

NYCC starts today! I'll be there all weekend long, doing sketches and drinking coffee. Come by and see me- Artist Alley is in the North Pavillion of the Javits Center, and I'll at table J-13. Here's the floor plan and where I'll be:<br />

The Karai/Foot Clan one is by me, and the Thundercats one is me with beautiful colors by Ian Herring. I'll also have lots of original art from Shadow Clan and Karai for sale, as well as sketchbooks and comics and stuff like that.<br />
<br />
On Sunday I'll be at the Aspen Comics panel and another panel that hasn't been announced yet. But it might have something to do with this... <br />

I got to keep some of the Shadow Clan #1 sketch cover editions to use for commissions, etc. and here are some examples of what they look like. I've been putting a little more work into these Artist Proof versions. I wanted them to be a little more special than the standard sketch covers. Inks with some Copic grey tones and a splash of color. I still have a few of these blanks left, you can contact me csmitharts@gmail.com for info & prices if you'd like one with some original art (of your choosing) on it.</div>

Issue 4 is out tomorrow, and I'm excited for people to see it! This is my favorite one yet. It has 4 covers that connect to form one big image featuring all the major players, so you can choose your favorite or collect them all.<br />

The editor thought the inks were too sketchy and didn't fit into the style already established in the Beyond comics, and he was right. So I did them over as just pencils, and it gave me the rare opportunity to fix some of the things I wasn't happy with in the first pages. I also changed the armor design of the Vigilante character to something more clunky and less sleek based on the editorial notes I got from round 1.<br />

Here are all of the LOTSC sketch covers that went out to retailers as part of Aspen's incentive program for issue 1. There are 100 in total. I did them each pretty quickly at about 15-20 min each, but they still seemed to take forever. 100 is a big number.<br />
<br />
There was initially a mix-up at the printer where the covers were mistakenly printed on a glossy paper stock, and before the problem was corrected I had already made my way through a big chunk of them. The glossy texture was almost impossible to do any underdrawing on, but they reacted to the inkwashes in a pretty cool way. It's hard to tell from these scans, but in person the difference between the glossy and cardstock covers is really noticeable.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out for these at your local comic shop! If you can't get one there, I do have a handful of "Artist Proof" blank covers that I'll be getting to soon and I'll post details here of how you can get one...<br />

<br />
For LotSC #4, Aspen wanted to do 4 covers so I pitched them on doing a series of connecting covers. I've always loved these things when I've seen other artists do them and I was excited when an opportunity to do one popped up. Trying to make them each stand alone but still form one big image is a lot of fun. Lots of work at the layout stage, but ultimately worth it!<br />
Here are the inks for the original image 14x34:<br />

We did a Retailer Exclusive version of the cover for issue 1 to offer to stores who ordered a certian amount of the book. We had 20 stores participate in this, and so we got to make 20 covers using different colors and themes to go with each store's logo. I had no idea when I drew this that each cover would end up so unique. It was great to see that A.) so many retailers were excited for and supporting the book, and B.) that the guys at Aspen did such a killer job making each cover stand out! My lines below:<br />

Legend of the Shadow Clan #1 is less than a week (!) away, so over the next few days leading up to it I'm going to post a few Shadow Clan-related things. Starting with these two drawings of Morgan, the main female lead in the series, and the one used in most of the book's promotion. The first one was used as an example of the sketch cover version of the book and the second illustration appeared on the Reserved Edition cover to issue 1.cory smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13777216917593275472noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347830070765078857.post-64355019899472982162013-01-11T10:19:00.000-05:002013-01-11T10:19:52.901-05:00Homecoming #3 coverI drew this gnarly monster for a cover to Homecoming #3, which came out this week from Aspen.

Here are the two covers I did for LEGEND OF THE SHADOW CLAN, the next
book I'll be drawing for Aspen Comics, due out in Feb 2013! Here's the
full story:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=41546">http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=41546</a><br />
<br />
I'm
really excited about this project for a few reasons. I get to work with
writer David Wohl, creator of Witchblade & The Darkness. And
I'm doing full inks for this series, a departure from the tight pencils
I've been doing for Aspen so far. I've been loving inking so much lately
and I'm really looking forward to exploring the process in a full book
like this. And the guys at Aspen are launching their 10th Anniversary
initiative next year, called "10 for 10", and Legend of the Shadow Clan
is spearheading the whole thing! <br />

NYCC was amazing! The energy in the place really kept me going on a weekend when I should have been a complete zombie. I coasted on coffee and enthusiasm and did a bunch of sketches, which is the best of part of conventions for me. And it was great to catch up with old friends and make new ones. I'm already planning on being there next year!cory smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13777216917593275472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347830070765078857.post-61612388529350638402012-10-08T19:19:00.000-04:002012-10-09T09:53:05.451-04:00NYCC IS HERE!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This weekend I'll be in Artist Alley at NYCC.

<br />
And I'll have tons of original art for sale. Everything from the warmup sketches I've posted on tumblr to comic pages to sketch cards.<br />
<br />
I'll be taking sketch commissions too, but only about 5 a day, so if you want one then finding me early wouldn't hurt.<br />
<br />
ALSO there's an Aspen panel on Friday at 1:30 in Room 1A01 that I'm going to be a part of, so try and catch that. I hear they're going to be previewing some art for a new series I'm drawing next year.<br />
<br />
<br />

<b>BROKEN PIECES #4<br />
Mark Roslan – Writer </b><br />
<b>Cory Smith – Art </b><br />
<b>Beth Sotelo – Colors</b><br />
What is lost in life is found in…death!<br />
Aspen Comic’s newest original series, <b><i>BROKEN PIECES, </i></b>continues!<br />
The fight between mortal and monster could very well shatter the
pieces of their existence altogether! As Gabriella attempts to regain
any semblance of focus after the heart-wrenching loss of her husband
following the accident inside their lab, her work within Trinion
dutifully presses on. Meanwhile, Trinion director Damon Ludas has his
own sights set on putting an end to the unrestrained amalgamation of a
man wreaking havoc on his security forces. And Ludas’ plan calls for
unleashing his own form of pain and punishment upon the monster—the
ruthless mercenary known as Harrick, and an ensuing clash that only one
can possibly survive!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Written and created by Aspen’s own Mark Roslan, <b><i>BROKEN PIECES</i></b> will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish!</div>

Like the new blog header up there? It's about time I made this place a little more presentable, right?<br />
<br />
There's some pretty exciting stuff going on and it's a been a while since I updated this thing. In the meantime I've mostly been posting warm-up sketches and stuff on my tumblr: <a href="http://csmithart.tumblr.com/">csmithart.tumblr.com</a> <br />

The folks at Aspen have been keeping me pretty busy this year, too. I'm working on the final issue of the series Broken Pieces right now, and I've even started work on my next project with Aspen, which I'll talk more about when they make an announcement. But I will say that I'm pretty excited about this one for a couple reasons. For one thing, the subject matter got me pretty excited- I think it's something I could really have fun with. Also, I'll be doing full inks for this book!!<br />
<br />
In other news, I'm getting ready for NYCC. I'll be in Artist Alley at table C7 with prints and sketchbooks and original art and everything. And there's more Independents coming your way from me and Ben Christian very soon, so keep an eye out for that.<br />

<br />
And the thing I'm most excited about is that I'm <i>writing</i> stories now too. The image in the banner up top is the first piece of art created for a short story I'm writing and drawing titled "The Package". It's a small piece of some stories and ideas I've wanted to draw pretty much since I was a kid, and if it goes well there will definitely be more. So far it's going fucking amazing. Here's the b&w for the banner art:<br />
