Coloring VeggieTales Super Comics Volumes 3 & 4!

VeggieTales Super Comics: Volumes 3 & 4 written & adapted by Aaron Linne & Mike Nappa, illustrated by Cory Jones, & colored by Cory Jones & Philip A. Buck

    Hey folks! For a while now, I've been hinting at how I've been doing some comic book coloring this year. Well here it is! Earlier this year, I had the great pleasure of working as a freelance Artist Assistant & Colorist for illustrator (and my good friend,) Cory Jones as he illustrated VeggieTales Super Comics: Volume 3 & Volume 4 for Big Idea Entertainment & B&H Kids publishing. The stories from the Big Idea VeggieTales videos were adapted by Aaron Linne (Volume 3) & Mike Nappa (Volume 4) & are collected with all new LarryBoy stories which were written by Linne & Nappa as well.


    Each volume of VeggieTales Super Comics contains 3 separate stories which are 32 pages each! I was so excited to do the colors for  all 3 stories in Volume 3 & 2 stories in Volume 4!


     All cover art was done by Cory Jones, while Volume 4's cover features some of my color work as well. Man, he did such a sharp job!

     Below are just a few glimpses inside the final printed copies of the books & our artwork inside. He has been great to work with & his fun line art made it a joy to add colors & effects everyday!





       Soon, I'll share with you all some examples of how Cory's black & white line art basically looked when I received it, followed by my digital color version of each page. Until then, you can check out such samples from 3 stories that are featured in Volume 3 over on my portfolio page.

    VeggieTales Super Comics: Volumes 3 & 4 can be purchased in most book stores and on Amazon here and here as well as in most other stores online & in reality. (Can anyone say perfect Christmas gifts?) :D Thanks for checking in & God Bless!

Rough Sketch Dec 7

 
 

    Here's a really loose & rough sketch from last week after a Rog Walker photo on Pinterest. Practice makes better, right? I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! And those of you who celebrate Hanukkah, I hope it's of to a great start!


     I'll (hopefully) be putting up a longer post here soon about some of the comic book coloring work I've been doing this year, but until then, this is what you get. Haha! God bless and thanks for stopping by!
