The God Labs Chapter 02 is out! Tell your kids! Tell Grandma! Tell your most beloved Item! And remind them, this may just be a silly little story about research into the persistence of the human soul and what happens beyond the veil, but they are whom really matter to you. #godlabs

The next panel shows it is a box of random food from the cafeteria, didn't want anyone to get any depraved ideas without that being explicitly stated. Almost done with chapter 2, this is the fastest I've worked in my life ever. #godlabs #illustration #graphicnovel #digitalpainting #krita
The gang meets Long Stephen what appeared in The God Labs Strip Club #03. I've never been in a strip club so I'm taking my best guess at what might be on the walls. #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting #graphicnovel #krita
I finished the Cool Fiona cover for Chapter 2 already but I thought I'd redo it in Krita. I have a lot more fun painting in Krita #godlabs #illustration #graphicnovel #digitalpainting #krita
As established in The Satan Killers, Jim had an office next to Satan. Maybe The Overseer feels he should have done something when he no doubt heard all the shooting. Also I edited my watermark for MMXXVI #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting #graphicnovel #comic #krita
At the table I was working there was a little girl sitting next to me, it severely limited what I could work on since she could see my screen. So every time I caught her looking over I started drawing bunnies #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting #graphicnovel #krita
Done a few pages now exclusively in Krita, this is how I ended up setting up the workspace. I like that you can paint a thumbnail for a brush preset in the brush tool, so I did that for all the ones I made. #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting #graphicnovel #krita
Might pursue a different direction for the rest of the chapters of The God Labs #godlabs #illustration #graphicnovel #digitalpainting
Chapter 2 of The God Labs starts with bathtime for The Boys. #illustration #godlabs #digitalpainting #graphicnovel
The God Labs Chapter 01 is released! It begins right after The Satan Killers and is around 70 pages. It is meant to be read in guided view horizontally, panel by panel, but do whatever you want!!It's out!!! #godlabs #graphicnovel #illustration #digitalpainting #comic

Dr. Fiona Katsubana talks a bit about her backstory. #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting #graphicnovel
An example of the process, going from ink to pencil to photoshop. Hieronymus leads a press tour to spark interest in volunteers for The Gate to Heaven. #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting
Another idea for covers, complete non-sequiturs of events that possibly never happened, like this nice May Day outing. I finish finished all the pencil drawings for chapter 1 and I'm around page 21 of 71 with the photoshop paintings. #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting
The first page of The God Labs. Now that I have some momentum my goal per day is to complete one page in pencil and one in photoshop. That's the aspiration but it depends on how complicated the scenes are, if they can share backgrounds, etcetera. #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting #graphicnovel
Another Cover Idea, looking at the God Labs tower in the reflection of Remus' helmet. I was thinking of making all the covers all have a reflection of the tower, but I'll probably do a variety instead. #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting
Another cover idea. Like the monolith except with the sun coming in from the bottom instead of the top. I finished roughing in all the pencil drawings for chapter 1 and am about half way through cleaning them up, started working on the photoshop paintings too. #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting
The God Labs opens with a touching and beautiful Satanic Funeral Service. I like that you only need to know the title of my last book to have most the context for this. #godlabs #illustration #drawing
Been meeting my quota to finish 2 pages of the pencil drawings per day, and working on a cover here and there too. I call this the "Cool Fiona" cover. #godlabs #illustration #drawing #bonezone
I thought it might be good to start with introducing the characters in a Pseudo Tree of Sephiroth style. When I looked up Köse I found it meant 'beardless' so I thought that was appropriate. Kelvin is from my favorite Tarkovsky movie Solaris. #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting
It is written. 8 years late, but The God Labs is finally written. I counted, and at the cinematic 3 panels per page I'm planning it is 725 pages in 10 chapters + a coda. I'll be doing each page in pencil then doing photoshop paintings from that. #godlabs #illustration #writing
It's amazing how long it takes my hand to feel better, then how quickly it hurts again when I start using my tablet. Working on writing the last few pages of the last chapter of The God Labs #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting
Did a drawing of a lady at in IBM terminal in the 70s then I got bored and drew a sharkgirl. I'm a little over halfway done writing the last chapter of The God Labs #illustration #godlabs #digitalpainting #drawing #IBM
Just started writing chapter 10 of The God Labs, which will be the final chapter. I thought about opening it with a dream of a line of people jumping into a Hellmouth in the woods rather than The Gate to Heaven. #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting
Another Piece of vintage The God Labs Prelim, Long Stephen, who since being introduced has shown up in every chapter. I just started writing Chapter 9, think I'm a little over 500 pages so far. #illustration #godlabs #digitalpainting
Couple test panels for The God Labs. Scrapping the original plan and doing full size pencil drawings from the ink thumbnails then paint under it in photoshop like I did with Red and the Wolfe; as opposed to just working from the ink drawings. #godlabs #illustration #digitalpainting #comic
