Just one lettering stack today! A couple of pages of each chapter of the serialized story "The Axe" by J. Trohman, B. Posehn, S. Koblish, D. Fichera, published in Heavy Metal magazine a couple of years ago!
I did SO MANY SFXs for this one. <3

Does anyone want a different kind of cover for their comic books?
Sometimes I make fan covers for comics I like or that catch my eye, just for fun, although I'd love to create some officially some day🤞. This entire year I've only managed to make four (I wanted to make a couple more but couldn't finish them), but I'm really happy with how these turned out.

With the Mad Cave Studios talent search over, I can post my submission pages. (Sadly I wasn't chosen)
Comparing my work to what was printed, I see what I could've done differently for the sake of speed & color choice. Still a fun test of my techniques and skill.

Two more lettering stacks! Both come from books written by D. Hazan: Death Drop #1, art by A. Moore (from Scout Comics), and Monomyth #1, with art by C. Lo Valvo and colors by M. Louisse.
I did some of my all time fave SFXs for both these series!
