Description Page 3 of the Papa Frost preview, which will be appearing in the print version of Portland Underground.

A little bit of an experiment with the wind/snow - I was too afraid to use dry brush with white paint directly on the art, so I lightboxed black ink on a separate piece of board, scanned it and reversed it to get the effect I wanted. Yay!

Now running in tandem with its blog, at papafrost.net !

Story & script by Vernon Hall and Daniel VanderMolen.

Thanks, Zac! I used some photoshop trickery to get that look without ruining the original

Crikey, the art you've done for this Papa Frost thing is extraordinarily good! You go for such daring angles and your hatching skills are stunning.

This snippet's got a couple more pages to go, then it'll be printed as the backup to the Portland Underground comic.

Thanks!

Oops, haha. It takes me about a week during my 'free time' to do a complete page, from basic concept sketch to finished scan. If I were to boil it down to actual hours, probably between 8-10 hours per page.

Thanks much! I was having a tough time trying to figure out how I was going to draw "wind", but it all came to me today.

Ah yeah! A new page from the main man!

I just love panel two, it really screams 80's for some reason.

Yeah, it's both that and the look of "Oh my god!" on his face. He kind of looks like a combo of John Holmes and Super Mario.
