Here's an article from IDW regarding the In The Dark anthology: http://www.idwpublishing.com/news/article/2727/
The story I colored was written by Tim Seeley with line-art by Stephen Green. It's going to be a fun book! Lots of talent.
Hi there! I just wanted to welcome everyone to the new site comiccolor.com. It's so much easier to say than michruss.com!
This is something I've been wanting to do for a while. I've been spread out all over the web but didn't really have a central repository like I wanted. I had a credits page at Tumblr, a gallery over at dA, videos on YouTube, and bloggish posts at Facebook. I'll still maintain those pages, but now it will all be in one place as well.
So it's 2014, what's going on? I'm coloring a story called "The Body" for the In The Dark anthology created by Rachel Deering (Creepy, Diablo III, Anthema). It's written by Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash, Revival, The Occultist) and drawn by Stephen Green (Hellboy, Dr. Who, October Girl).
I've got a few more pages of Murder Culture to finish for the Imaginary Drugs anthology created by Michael McDermott (FUBAR). It's Jonathan Brandon Sawyer (FUBAR, In The Dark) on pencils there. I'm predicting he "goes pro" in 2014. You heard it here first. I just finished a pinup with Valentin Ramos Menendez (D4ve, The Blackstone Chronicles) for that book as well. Check it out here. There's one more story for ID that hasn't been announced yet.
Teddy and the Yeti #5 is floating around with writer Jeff McClelland (FUBAR, The Tick, Hawken, Sasquatch) and Duane Redhead (The Tick, 2000AD, Sasquatch). They're busy with a The Tick Free Comic Book Day comic!
Liberator Vol 1 TPB, created by Matt Miner, was just made available for pre-order in Previews (JAN 140975). I did a four-pager with story and art by Tim Seeley.
I think that's it! I'll update again soon, and I'll show whatever art I can.
Line-art by Valentin Ramon Menendez. Colors by K. Michael Russell.
This is for the Imaginary Drugs anthology: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1562823940/imaginary-drugs
I've been studying a lot of digital painting techniques, light and shadow exercises, atmospheric perspective; I think it really came through here.
Honestly, this is the best place to start for a beginner--the first in a new series.
