Vancouver Comic Con

By -
I'm in Vancouver -- Canada's life-sized Sim City map! You can find me at the Vancouver Comic Con today from 11 am to 5 pm. I've brought a few stacks of Nonplayer #1 to sell, as well as some new posters (the first four pages of the comic are now available in poster form). My studio mate Moritat (The Spirit, Elephantmen) will also be attending. If you're in a gift-giving mood, I quite enjoy donuts, while Moritat prefers alfalfa sprouts. 

See you there!

    It was nice to meet you/buy a print/get some stuff signed today, and to talk Photoshop vs. IllustStudio for a few minutes! Please don't quit making Nonplayer...Nonplayer and Green Wake are the only comics worth buying!

    Hey, I couldn't make it yesterday but I wanted to mention that I picked up Nonplayer last week (with the intention of bringing it to the show) and it was seriously the first new single-issue comic I've bought in years. I'm typically a trade paperback/graphic novel guy, but I simply couldn't wait after hearing such amazing things about it and it certainly lived up to the hype. Beautiful and amazing... great work!

    Wow, Vancouver really does look like a Sim City map.. er, I mean "Man, what an amazing comic!!"
    It is pretty great, actually. This book has a whole lot going for it. I especially enjoyed the scene with Heremoth and Fendra in their caravan. You crammed 5 pages worth of plot, sub-plot and characterization into 12 panels. Great storytelling there.

    Hi Nate,

    A bit late with my comments here (considering the Vancouver show was like a week ago!) but I wanted to take the time to thank you for taking the time to come up and visit my fair city. Like others have already said, it was a real pleasure to meet you get my copy of nonplayer signed and chat for a few minutes about your book, comic publishing and stuff. I teased you about having an open sketchbook in front of you at the show and still am determined to get a commission from you at next year's Emerald City show!

    Also thanks for showing me the preview copy of Nonplayer #2. (just kidding) Sorry I didn't bring donuts.(or sprouts)

    Thanks again, Nate.

    tylerpistol - It was great chatting with you, too! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to your comment, but I suppose it says something that I still remember talking with you after all this time! Thanks for all the kind words, Tyler!

    Fongolia - It's great to hear that I broke through your no-floppy-comics barrier! I'm bummed that I didn't get a chance to meet you in person, but there's always next year! Thanks for the compliments, man.

    Derrick - Yeah, the hardest thing about drawing a comic is getting information across in as elegant, efficient, and text-minimal a way as possible. It keeps me awake at night, trying to solve those storytelling puzzles. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm glad that sequence worked for you!

    Stephen - Good to meet you too, Stephen. And dude, if you had a preview copy of Nonplayer #2 on you, I'd have given you donuts to let me see it! It's not often that I come across artifacts from the future -- those are worth at least their weight in crullers.

Is This Thing On?

My last post here was in 2015. Returning to this page, I was a little surprised to discover that it was even still online, or that blogs were even still a thing. Perhaps they aren't really anymore? I have no idea. It's pretty interesting to see how many of the links on this page are now dead. The world has moved on. When last we met, I was in the late stages of learning that Nonplayer #2 was not going to provide the magic leverage to turn comics into a full time day job. Given the unsustainability of my schedule back then (drawing the comic in the wee hours of the morning while having a day job and raising a kid), it really was a hail Mary situation -- I'm not even really sure what form I thought the deus ex machina would take. Maybe Nonplayer would get turned into a movie? Maybe I could pivot to Patreon? In the end, I had to stop out of sheer exhaustion.  I didn't give up. I started a spread for Nonplayer 3, and then stalled out. Here it is: I pivoted to writing, and g

First-pass color on page 1. Click to enlarge. More after the image. Even more than with the original line art, it's taking me a long time to figure out whether something works or not. Right now, I'm mostly shooting from the hip. I know I don't want muddy color, and I'm avoiding using black for shadows. I'm trying to use new blend modes to modulate the color of the linework, itself (see leaves in background of panel 1). I'm also trying to keep all the panels on one page in the same color key (though I'm not sure I've pulled that off here). That connects to a bigger lesson I've been learning over the past month: a comic page isn't a collection of smaller drawings -- it is one big drawing, and the panel borders and speech bubbles are all part of the composition. One thing that makes me wince a little bit when I look at the old Stareater stuff is how much of an afterthought the speech bubbles are. They're these perfect ovals (just running a strok
