| THE VALIANT #1 PAGE 12. 2014. Photoshop, 2750 × 4175 px. |
This page involved looking into the mirror a lot, but I took at least one webcam pic for the last panel. The cigar club is based on a real one in NYC that I found pics of online. (Those beautiful, blonde waves are based on my own hair.) All but 4 pages of issue #1 were done digitally, using Kyle T. Webster’s Photoshop brushes. You can see the traditional pages at Splashpage Art.
I thought the trade paperback was coming out today (and last week) but it looks like you’ll have to wait until the end of the month. In the meantime, our book was ranked as one of the top Valiant stories of all time by CBR. Awesome!

| THE VALIANT #1 p18. 2014. Photoshop, 2750 × 4175 px. |
Did I say this week? What I meant was that The Valiant trade paperback will be out May 27. But in keeping with the spirit, here’s another page with its accompanying reference. This page was made completely in Photoshop, with a major assist from Kyle T. Webster’s brushes, specifically Rough Inker, Ink Wash 1, Bone Dry, and Deliciously Dry. This allowed me to keep working on the book, even when I was traveling.

| digital inks with wash tone |
When the project first began, I was going to “save time” by keeping the colors flat, albeit modulated with an “ink wash” layer. By the second issue, I was already back to my old habit of two-tone coloring, but this technique was nice while it lasted. Because I was inking digitally, I couldn’t help myself from adding the tone as I went along. I just love that look for black and white comics, something akin to Blazing Combat.

| BOOK OF DEATH #2 COVER. 2015. Ink(ed by Joe Rivera) on bristol board with digital color, 11 × 17″. |
Hope everyone had a good week! I’m working on Book of Death #3 right now and will be starting a couple poster projects in the coming month, starring some of my favorite characters on earth.
I’ve finalized my Photoshop perspective template, and recorded a tutorial, so I hope to finally get that launched. I have my doubts, though, because it just does everything that Manga Studio does automatically. I’ve been learning that software over the last week or so and like it so far. I’ll probably still use Photoshop for coloring, but MS5 can’t be beat for comics.
Have a great weekend!

| THE VALIANT #2 PAGE 15. 2015. Ink(ed by Joe Rivera) on bristol board with digital color, 11 × 17″. |
The Valiant trade paperback comes out next week, so I thought it might be a good time to look back at a page from issue 2. In this scene, Ninjak really cuts loose — only to have his bum thoroughly handed to him. As you can see from the pencils, I changed where he was looking in the first panel… he wasn’t angry enough!
I also wanted to mention that this page(andmany others fromThe Valiant) are now available through my art dealer, Splashpage Art. Covers are listed separately. And even if you’re not interested in purchasing, we’ve got nice big scans of the originals, pencils by me and inks by my dad, Joe Rivera. Hope you enjoy the closer look.
