HOLLOW Whoring II: Why I Love My Painter

[Larime]

I bragged on my penciler before, but now it's time to brag on my painter (and lovely wife!) Danielle, aka Reverend Smooth:

I'm in awe of that panel. I can literally stare at it for hours.

No detail is left untouched. Each character has a unique skin tone. And the coffee cup the bald guy holds is a mini-masterpiece.

The mood and atmosphere in that panel... Just great.

And here's the full page, finished and ready to print:

I'm so unbelievably f'ing lucky.

You should put that link to make donations to you in your sig, Larimé.

Yeah. I'm just bad at asking for charity.

I'll do it now.

Oh. Can I keep the little accent mark you put over the e in my name? It makes me look all cool. :)

Keep it. I have plenty. My brother's an André.

[Larime]

Thanks! I feel all artsy, now!

[Larime]

New page!

[heystacy]

Danielle has mad skills. :cool:

[Cam63]

That is damn good work, Lar'.

[Larime]

It's her mad skills, all right!

I am very lucky to have this art team.

[Aggie]

Danielle has mad skills. :cool:


quoted for truth...:)

[Shisho]

Seriously, Larime, if you hear about how much I love the crazy genius of the Hollow team (including your scripts, FYI) one more time, I'm just going to come of as a stalking fangirl. You already know how awesomesauce I think y'all are. (Damn it Gail, now I can't stop using that word!! :mad: ;) ) I really can't wait to see the final product. You have such a winning combination with the three of you, you're gonna knock people for double loopty loops when it comes out, no question.

Hee! We don't mind! Stalk away!

[Larime]

And here is another (mostly) finished page. Danielle isn't happy with it, but she's high. :D

http://www.hollowcomic.com/27Done.jpg

Tell her how high she is!

[Typo Lad]

She's high.

That's stunning. I wish I had someone that awesome working with me.

[Larime]

She's high.

That's stunning. I wish I had someone that awesome working with me.

Thank you! I'm glad you agree. :)

[Reverend Smooth]

...h88888888888 that page. *x.@*

Thank you, everyone, though.

[KevinTBrown]

...h88888888888 that page. *x.@*

Thank you, everyone, though.

Yeah it totally sucks. Sucks so bad that I can't tear myself away from looking at how awesomely sucky it is. It's so sucky that I can't even fully describe the suckness it has in such a small space.






Seriously, it's incredible stuff, Danielle. I wish I was half as talented as you are....

[Reverend Smooth]

Thank you. *._.*

[cedardryad]

It's so beautiful!

[KevinTBrown]

Thank you. *._.*

You're welcome. :)



Hmmm, maybe we should re-name you Rev Sucky. :p


I keed, I keed....

You truly are a wonderful artist.

[TCJohnson]

As I said before, of all the projects that are coming out and not released, this is the one I am looking forward to the most (with maybe one exception). The idea intrigues me and the art is really great.

And who is our competition, now? :)

[Reverend Smooth]

You're welcome. :)

<33333333 You're awesome, too.

[the4thpip]

Thank you!

Probably "Tales of the Spooky 2". :p

[Larime]

Probably "Tales of the Spooky 2". :p

Aw, man. We're fucked. Nothing can top the talent of Rick Olney in his own mind!

[Reverend Smooth]

Oh shit, we're doomed now!

[Jared_Humpherys]

This stuff is looking great, guys. Looking forward to purchasing the final product when the time comes.

And don't worry, you guys won't be too outdone by "Tales of the Goos Night Pukee" ;).

Thanks! We look forward to (lots of) people purchasing it, too! :D

Oh, come on. That's literary GOLD.

...Well, it's something yellow, anyway.

[Shisho]

Explain to us why we have to wait until October again? :confused: *sniff* *sniff* Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

[Larime]

Explain to us why we have to wait until October again? :confused: *sniff* *sniff* Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

Because your tears are sweet nectar which sustains our blackened hearts.

[Reverend Smooth]

Mmm. Salty.

[cedardryad]

Maybe because October sets the mood?

[Larime]

Maybe because October sets the mood?

Funny enough, we're debuting on Halloween. Holloween? Heh.

Oh, and the story starts in October of 2006. None of this was intentional.

[SteveForbes]

You're debuting on my marriage anniversary?

I'm going to be in a comic shop pimpwhoring Hollow on my anniversary? My wife isn't going to like that... We're supposed to be in Vegas then!

Those pages are beautiful, though! It's going to need slick paper to hold the colors. I can't wait to hold it in my hot sweaty little hands.

[cedardryad]

Dum, dum, duuuuuum!

[Larime]

You're debuting on my marriage anniversary?

Yeah. Ours is October 11th.

I'm going to be in a comic shop pimpwhoring Hollow on my anniversary? My wife isn't going to like that... We're supposed to be in Vegas then!

There are comic shops in Vegas. :D

Those pages are beautiful, though! It's going to need slick paper to hold the colors. I can't wait to hold it in my hot sweaty little hands.

ASP uses waaaaaaay better paper than most comics. Thick, smooth paper. I love the feel of their books, there's nothing cheap about them. It's gourmet comics.

[OzBat!]

It's gourmet comics.Well, that's good. You need something to break up the taste of the salty tears. And maybe wash it down with a smooth chianti?

[TCJohnson]

Explain to us why we have to wait until October again? :confused: *sniff* *sniff* Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

Because waiting builds character, Beyotch!!!

(What? Conflict builds character too.)

[Larime]

Trust me, no one wants the book out right this second more than me. :)
