Urban Animal #3

Story and Art by John Amor

Joe continues to struggle with his curse as Frye and Phoebe search for him after the incident at the University of Prizetown. Meanwhile, dark plans to control the young changeling’s fate go into motion.

On the few days-hours-minutes I actually get to just futz around and draw whatever I want, I’ve been consciously making sketches tight enough to later on compile into a sketchbook.  I’m a lot busier than I’d like to be these days, but I can’t really complain about that.  That said, I wish I could complete the thing faster than I currently am, but that’s just how it shakes out.  I was inspired by what Brian Wood did a while back, releasing his sketchbook for free.  And it wasn’t like it was just a buncha rough stuff either.  Dystopium will be a free downloadable cbr and/or pdf file in the coming months, so those of who you care, stay tuned.  In the meantime, here’s a few things that’ll be in it…

I quite doubt it’ll be the most thematically unified thing I’ve ever shared with people, but eh… what’re you gonna do?

I was on a Skype call with my buddy EJ while I was sketching this out.  He loves Superman, so I’m sure he’ll get a warm fuzzy feeling in his pants when he finds out.  This was supposed to be just a pencil sketch, but I decided to take it to digital completion since I’m pretty happy about the spirit of it.  I love All-Star, and this is somewhat of a love letter to Morrison and Quitely.
