Over the past couple of years I've been hard at work on an all ages graphic novel called the Kurdles. The story is roughed out and I've just begun the process of doing the final inking and coloring. Here's a small preview of the roughs that will hopefully be confusing and won't reveal too much about the story. Above is a one pager that is the first thing to get colored. There has been a lot of gnashing of teeth on how to color it and I've settled on watercoloring it directly over the inks.<br />

The girl on the top half just weirded me out with her long pliable arm and shoulder that appears broken and brought in towards her chest. I'm amazed at how Burns can continue to disturb me by just making a few things seem a bit off. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP_GuuqTPjZ5xlU2WbOYj8Q8K_DRtI3eipk85rj6AV6-spt2S152J-boFpHooBbZxZ9pHxmC6PGIokNQtT7l69UH3Ow2rRzIIfMVievGnnzwfqiZQ4UyeQxh4yOwQiRALP9DwgvbHcuPo/s1600/Picture+3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP_GuuqTPjZ5xlU2WbOYj8Q8K_DRtI3eipk85rj6AV6-spt2S152J-boFpHooBbZxZ9pHxmC6PGIokNQtT7l69UH3Ow2rRzIIfMVievGnnzwfqiZQ4UyeQxh4yOwQiRALP9DwgvbHcuPo/s400/Picture+3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5712583452780216738" /></a><br /><br />Then I came across this page. It was an original drawing from a coloring book that I saw on Ebay. Aha! I thought. He must have had this coloring book as a kid and that image stuck in his brain. Perhaps the shoulder in this drawing always bothered him and he accentuated it in his version. I sort of marveled at the odds of finding this source for his cover and didn't think much else about it.<br /><br />Until I came across this:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxM8L5SwQzXrsNqJYlpBGksJ2mW-6Wrnj9HTrInl4GRQhbhUXdMUU706ggNSG1H35LRQmIEOFGUItdWzvLvsazbKWkJ-9VJTkm5hOB8d1-dwCNDnilvs15FAo0geWzUmICUCJ5pxLVuBI/s1600/supergirl.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 391px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxM8L5SwQzXrsNqJYlpBGksJ2mW-6Wrnj9HTrInl4GRQhbhUXdMUU706ggNSG1H35LRQmIEOFGUItdWzvLvsazbKWkJ-9VJTkm5hOB8d1-dwCNDnilvs15FAo0geWzUmICUCJ5pxLVuBI/s400/supergirl.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5712584583827462546" /></a><br /><br />This panel is from an issue of Supergirl that I came across on the web a few weeks ago. I think it's the first comic with Comet her super horse, but I don't know the issue. Was this the image that Burns was taking from instead of the coloring book? Are there more of these out there that I'm not familiar with? It's such a weird, unnatural pose.

My drawing tends to be pretty organic and computer coloring didn't feel quite right. That led me to painting it with water color. The danger there is getting too involved with painting and rendering every leaf on a tree. I think if I can keep it simple, it might work.Robert Goodinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12578493704682972069noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497946696540564134.post-28183924440857867972010-11-07T19:48:00.000-08:002010-11-07T19:54:49.996-08:00Monsters Project<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEVX7mEPq1MwnaG5cjEFX8cDv4tMsWOLv2yuOKwB1XnuK8Ihj58Pd5Ip-X42HpbdCFAQKRJCJMFbsuNP_pjYNuZLaR8kUjwKtMTjD-xsFfg_ISupZAjQQvCkMTGU4KKSkWAWjCsP0cxM4/s1600/Tibor.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEVX7mEPq1MwnaG5cjEFX8cDv4tMsWOLv2yuOKwB1XnuK8Ihj58Pd5Ip-X42HpbdCFAQKRJCJMFbsuNP_pjYNuZLaR8kUjwKtMTjD-xsFfg_ISupZAjQQvCkMTGU4KKSkWAWjCsP0cxM4/s400/Tibor.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537021038195350594" /></a><br /><br />I've got a painting for sale as a part of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's Monster Project fundraiser on <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/MONSTERS-PROJECT-art-Robert-Goodin-/140474772398?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b4f2ebae">Ebay</a>.

This was a strange behavior that I had back then. I don't know if it was out of a Marvel fanboy brainwashing or if the problem was that I wanted to buy more comics a month than good ones were produced. Regardless, I bought Englehart and Milgrom's West Coast Avengers month after month hoping that it would get better and it never did.<br /><br />At Comic Con last July, I was stunned to see my pal <a href="http://coveredblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Anthony%20Vukojevich">Anthony Vukojevich</a> digging these out of quarter bins. Evidently, for him, these comics are transcendently bad and hugely entertaining. On a weird level I can see his point, Wonder Man's horrendous mullet, his costume, Englehart ending every sentence that is not a question with an exclamation point, the horrible art of Al Milgrom somewhat polished by Joe Sinnott, Iron Man's Transformer armor, etc. They are horrible on almost every conceivable level. They are the acme of bad. He's been enjoying the comic so much that he has dedicated a <a href="http://avengersdonotkill.blogspot.com/">blog</a> to some of his favorite panels. Check it out and maybe you can enjoy it like he can.

This page, which was to go between pages 9 and 10, was thought to be a bit of a tangent from the story when I showed my roughs to friends. It was a hard one to let go, because I liked how the drawing was coming together, but sometimes that's what needs to happen. <br /><br />When I roughed the story out, I used photos from the internet and Google maps for reference on the Cathedral and surrounding buildings. Between roughing it and finishing it, I squeezed a trip to Basel onto a Europe trip for more research. The only thing I would have changed was the first panel of this page. That is not Jung's school. I'm not sure where I got that from, but I was wrong. It turns out it didn't matter, since the page was cut. <br /><br />Basel is a great city with a really good comic shop called <a href="http://www.comix-shop.ch/index1.html">Comix Shop</a> (imagine that). <br /><br /><br />**Comic-Con News**<br /><br />For the first time in a long time, I won't have a table in the small press area of Comic Con this year. I applied, but was rejected and wasn't given a reason why. So I'll be there only as a spectator on Friday and Saturday, shopping and saying hi to friends. It could be a relaxing and fun experience, but I'm not sure that relaxing and Comic Con go together.Robert Goodinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12578493704682972069noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497946696540564134.post-2411357869172779292010-07-12T20:31:00.000-07:002010-07-12T20:46:58.274-07:00The Spiritual Crisis of Carl JungI received a copy of Mome 19 in the mail today that has my new story, <span style="font-style:italic;">The Spiritual Crisis of Carl Jung</span> in it.

The place was packed on a rainy night and there were fantastic covers hanging on just about every available bit of wall space. To check out the show yourself (or even buy something) you can go <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thesecretheadquarters/sets/72157623419853541/">here</a>. As the curator, I spent the last few months getting e-mails with these amazing covers sent to me. It was exciting every time I heard my little e-mail alert sound. I let out more than one audible "Holy shit!" over that time. Even after seeing scans for a month ahead of time, I still marveled at the actual covers on the wall. There are some colors and details that a scan just can't capture. If you live or are visiting Los Angeles any time this month, I would try to check it out.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdXTelf1dOYfvZ6pmwDa_ZZqC66BT7l_hqozC5prbid7sm-r8Z5fO7NJ2EUNlVW7Gvpq88XRRzXwhv_vjYXK4V1cQ_iA1O13SdrRhkN0Nnx2n_NiSkyz0-KDreOwogECUdVbIKx3QVRYo/s1600-h/ArtShow5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdXTelf1dOYfvZ6pmwDa_ZZqC66BT7l_hqozC5prbid7sm-r8Z5fO7NJ2EUNlVW7Gvpq88XRRzXwhv_vjYXK4V1cQ_iA1O13SdrRhkN0Nnx2n_NiSkyz0-KDreOwogECUdVbIKx3QVRYo/s400/ArtShow5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446146921295148514" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNz_BXl_HxEAK0LoWkj1TM26iU2TmHlXtNa_xmVUBx2Ar1eolBgXjHdooaPDuBfA5xywPzZdv5lzmFBlqd49odBSGZluviR13zm6PM32mVDP1n7nQlf1uBmHCYXIdcUnQ93xx2U1vRjxc/s1600-h/AndrewCoop.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNz_BXl_HxEAK0LoWkj1TM26iU2TmHlXtNa_xmVUBx2Ar1eolBgXjHdooaPDuBfA5xywPzZdv5lzmFBlqd49odBSGZluviR13zm6PM32mVDP1n7nQlf1uBmHCYXIdcUnQ93xx2U1vRjxc/s400/AndrewCoop.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446146911862853794" /></a><br />Andrew Brandou and Coop, doing...

The first priority for me was to finish my 19 page <span style="font-style:italic;">The Spiritual Crisis of Carl Jung</span>. I've been working on this off and on for years now (maybe 5) and am about a week away from finishing it. The terrible photo above are of some out of sequence finished pages hanging up in my <a href="http://woodpaneledbasement.blogspot.com/2007/03/my-office-closet.html">closet/office</a>. It's good to have them constantly hanging up. Some pages grow better over time, others grow worse.

It's a 7" done for <a href="http://www.puregroove.co.uk/">Pure Groove</a> record store in London and <a href="http://www.iheartcomix.com/">IHeartComix</a> here in L.A. From what I've read, only 300 were made for the store (can that be right?).

They are all printed on various kinds of wood veneer, similar to the postcards that I have been making. I think they would make great convention sketchbooks. I'll be at table M8 in the small press area.

I've been working on this 24 page story for I think 3 years now. I did the Man Who Loved Breasts comic during this time as well as numerous other short stories. My goal was to get it finally roughed out by July.
