Samples of Comic Book Coloring

embsfreakshow

A major portion of my business comes from the production of comic books. Primarily I am a flatter. A flatter prepares the lineart for the colorist by pre-coloring each object with a separate color in order that each object may be easily selected during the shading process. My standard fee is 15 dollars per page or 30 for double pages, etc. Along with flatting I also do digital coloring, lettering, and inking. Fees for those services vary. You can see my name listed among the credits of witchblade issues 72, 73, 74.

I have worked on various comic books including:

X-Men, Spiderman, Lady Death, Judge Dredd vs Aliens, Micronauts, Voltron, Judge Dredd, Tombraider, He-Man, Spookshow, El Cazador, Justice League, Scion, the Gift, Cursed, Mace Griffen, Snake Plisken Chronicles, G.I. Joe., Gara Galaxy, Aya, Boba Fett, Batman, Batgirl, Black Panther, Lone Ranger, Punisher, Sentry, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Hawkman, Red Sonja, Dread Alive, StepenSegovia, Witches, Transformers, Banzai Girl, Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Kickass, etc. You name it, I’ve probably worked on it. I’ve worked on comics from every major comic book company and most of the small ones including Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Avatar, MoonStone, the new defunct Crossgen, etc.  I also flatted the pages which were colored by Dean White used for the special effects for the KickAss movie.

The picture above is I colored for a contest for “freakshow.”  I have prepared a few random comic book pages as samples of the kind of coloring I can do.  These pages were flatted for other colorists and were colored by me only as examples of what I can do.  The lineart remains the property of the original publishers.
