A Not-So-Familiar Face...

(Posting a wee bit early today...)

Just a quick little pen sketch, with some Photoshop colors slapped in. Anybody remember this little guy?



Not an obscure 80's cartoon, not a hoax, and not a fever dream--it's Cog, the title character of The Legend of Cog, an ashcan comic that I sold at Comic-Con in 2006. Basically the 24-page mini-comic is the lead-in to a much larger story which, theoretically, will see the light of day within the next couple of years. You can read the first eight pages at http://www.legendofcog.com/. Unfortunately, that website has been horribly neglected (as has Cog) for the past year. Again, theoretically, I should be updating that site soon.

There won't be a new issue of Cog at this year's convention, but I am pretty busy working on a few other things for the convention--a sketchbook, and two give-away postcards (one of which features Cog himself). I'll post more about that stuff and talk a little bit about where I'm at on The Legend of Cog as the convention gets closer.
