Guns of Shadow Valley - Comments Contest!

The Guns of Shadow Valley weekly comments contest starts this week! To enter the contest, all you need to do is leave a comment on the Guns website for one of this week's new pages. Once your comment is approved, you are entered into the contest to win a free original mini sketch, made custom just for you, of any one character you choose.

These mini sketches will be like the ones done recently for the Monster Mini Sketch Sale last month: they are 4x6, ink and ink wash. If you win that week, you will be notified and asked what character you would like drawn for your very own mini sketch. The sketch will be lovingly created by series artist Dave Wachter(me!) and hand delivered to your address by a uniformed member of the United States Postal Service. There will be one winner per week. One word posts, spam, or comments lacking any insight or effort will not be considered. Only approved comments will enter you in the contest, so make them thoughtful/entertaining/funny, and of course, make the comments relative to that comic page or the story as a whole. We can't wait to hear from you!

Medusa and Black Bolt

Here's a commission that's been some time coming: Medusa and Black Bolt, looking regal, as requested. So much hair, how does she wash it all? Does she use a separate conditioner? Does she repeat?

Monster Mini Sketches - batch 8

Monster Mini Sketches - batch 7

Another long awaited batch of monster sketches. They've been done for a while but I've been delayed in posting due to the aforementioned move. Enjoy!

Moving...

I'm moving today and tomorrow to a new home in a new state. I'm packing up the computer now, so I will be off line until at least Friday night. Until then, don't forget to check out The Guns of Shadow Valley today and Thursday for new pages. When I'm back up and running I'll have some new art for you to look at. See you later!

Monster Mini Sketches - batch 6

Cute Bunny Rabbit

I've been drawing lots of monsters and violence lately. Here's a little something to clense the pallet before the next onslaught. I did this quick drawing of a rabbit spotted at a park in Pittsburgh, for my mom's birthday.

Angry Punisher

When isn't he angry? This time he's got a knife and a gun. Watch out!

Monster Mini Sketch Sale: Over!

That's it folks, I've got all the orders I can possibly take. After some family business on Saturday, I will be working diligently to finish the rest of these sketches and have them in the mail sometime next week.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who ordered a sketch, I really appreciate the business! If you were hoping to get a sketch or two but couldn't get your order in on time, it's likely I'll do this again. Whether that's sooner or later all depends on my circumstances.

I will continue to post images of the sketches as they are finished. And eventually, I might even collect some of them into a sketchbook for sale in the future.

Monster Mini Sketches, batch 5 - Last Call!

LAST CALL! I'll take just a few more mini-monster requests. AFter that I've got to close the doors for a while. Thanks so much to everyone who has ordered a sketch, it's been lot's of fun!

Monster Mini Sketch Sale Ends Soon!

Thank you all so much! I've been inundated with orders. I'm also moving at the end of the month, so it's been extremely busy. I want to be able to get all these mini sketches finished and mailed in plenty of time for Halloween. So, the sale will be closing very soon! If you want something, let me know right away! And thanks again, everybody! These have been a ton of fun to do.

The Guns of Shadow Valley - Chapter 2 has begun!

Some of you may have heard about my webcomic: The Guns of Shadow Valley. If you haven't, then I'm creating this here blog post to give you the lowdown and encourage you to maybe, y'know, check it out!

The Guns of Shadow Valley, or 'Guns', or GoSV, is a serialized adventure webcomic. It's a Western, but with a Superpowered twist. It's sort of like the Magnificent Seven meets the JLA, or if you're a Marvel fan, the Avengers, or the X-Men.

The official pitch:
"Somewhere in the mysterious Shadow Valley lies a secret that could forever change the face of the frontier. To protect that secret, a posse of gunmen with special abilities must come together and defend against a tribe of ghostly warriors, an advancing army led by a deranged Colonel, and the perils of the valley itself.

The Guns of Shadow Valley is an exciting new Western adventure series from the creators of Scar Tissue. Set in the 1870s in the Oklahoma Territories, Guns is a tale of intrigue and adventure that puts a new spin on the Old West."

New pages go up every Tuesday and Thursday at: gunsofshadowvalley.com The first chapter is already up and we've just started to post pages from chapter 2.

And as time goes on, we'll be adding more goodies for you to explore on the website. Check it out, it's totally free. If you like it, you can subscribe to the feed, leave a comment, become a Facebook fan, all that good stuff!

Thanks for your time, and we here at Guns really do appreciate the support!
