It's time for a special Project Basement with:
Shawn by Aimee Cummings and Nick Marino
Last summer, extraordinary artist Aimee Cummings and I discussed a collaboration, with her penciling and me inking. We decided to try out a couple of test images -- a pic of Jean Grey in her sexy Hellfire Club attire, and this sketch of Time Log's resident non-moron, Shawn.
Now if you're looking at this and thinking "why did Aimee put Shawn in an 80s/90s school photo pose with her giant head floating in the background?" then you should really be blaming me and not the penciler! See, the sketch she gave me looked like this:
Much more... artistic, right? Well who knows why I decided to move the head before I inked it. I sure as hell don't remember. (And on an unrelated note, I was also planning on coloring this Shawn sketch for today's spotlight, but I couldn't get my flat colors to do Aimee's awesome pencils justice.)
Next up, I want to share a vintage Time Log pinup done in early 2007, back when I was still planning on drawing the Time Log comic:
Good thing we got Shawn Atkins to pencil it instead, right? This is a bit over-colored and wonky, but I think it's still fun. And to add to that, this was drawn back when Pete and I were still considering on actually using ourselves (and not just our names) for the characters in Time Log.
I was hoping to dig up another Time Log oldie, the original version of the Time Vortex (where i just Photoshop'd my previous sketch of Pete on top of a swirly background). But, alas, that version is virtually lost to the world. I may have it saved on a disc somewhere, but it could take me hours just to find it (and it wasn't that exciting, trust me).
NEXT WEEK: Project Basement Spotlight on Super Haters featuring Andrew Kilian and Shawn Atkins!!!
P.S. Oh, and before I forget, while we're showcasing some Time Log rarities, don't forget to check out this Time Log Xmas card drawn by Pete's brother Jack.
hahaha Pete and I are wearing the same shoes
aimee's pic looks great! stylish.
haha, yeah, you and pete are both wearing the same sort of amorphous loafer.
For the record, in real life I often wear a pair of amorphous loafers, so it's not that far off.
AudioShocker Shoutouts!
@ross: i like the smirk aimee gave her.
@pete: yeah it's like you bought them at the same store where Homer gets his shoes.

Paul, I'm guessing you meant to post your comment on one of the Sequential Underground podcasts, right? If you'd like, I can move your comment over to the correct podcast blog post.

Yeah, I meant to post it under the most recent Sequential Underground. I don't know how I clicked on the wrong thing!
It's all good! I do it all the time. Anyway, I moved your comment and my response over to SQ #9.
