Check Out the Tim Lincecum Facebook Page

Cristian is just about finished with all the pencils for the first issue, he's got a handful to go and then we'll just need Keith to ink them all and get them printed! We have a month to go, and we're right on schedule, things were a little hectic there for awhile, but we finally have everything on track. All we need is that dang seller's permit, which hopefully we can get within the next week.

Also, make sure you check out the Tim Lincecum page on Facebook because our inker Keith is having his artwork featured there right now, support a fellow nerd you guys and gals!

Cristian and Mario also met up again last night to talk about the comic and about WonderCon's move to Anaheim. We also gave him some more scanned pencils so he can get those to Keith. Almost done everyone!

See you next week!

More APE news and a posting change

So we're all back in school here at Reluctant Zero, but don't worry, production hasn't slowed in the slightest! Cristian keeps finishing pages, if fact he finished another one last night, and Mario's good friend Kieth has begun inking the finished pages. We paid for our table last week and just recived confirmation of our table number, we'll be at booth 613, so make sure you come by to pay us a visit!

And don't forget to check out our good friend and fellow nerdy creator Steph, she runs the crft company Nerd Jerk, and you can find a link to her blog in our sidebar--->
This week we need to fax in our ad information for the program book, as well as getting our seller's permit, that whole driving and parking in the financial district during a work day is not encouraging us to get this done though! haha Hopefully we'll have that sorted out by the end of the month though.

I also wanted to let you all know that I will most likely be changing the posting day from Tuesday to Wednesday because of my school schedule.

See you all next week,

Meetings and Progress

Saturday Cristian, Mario, and I went and met up with Mario's friend Kieth who's going to be doing our inking to discuss the panels and the time frame that he has to work with. As well as answering any questions he may have about the existing panels. The meeting went really well, and he will be joining our booth at APE as well. Make sure you stop by the booth so you can meet the whole comic team, and even if you don't buy an issue, you're welcome to pester the boys about the comic book making process itself. We hope to see you there!
Cristian's been working a really fast pace, and things are looking really good, so as long as we can keep up with our time frame, everything should look great at APE!
Plus, Cristian's co-worker is going to be able to give us a deal on printing as well! Things are really working out, I can't wait to see the finished product, and to share it with all of you!

Also, for any Marvel fans following us, make sure you check out the Tokidoki x Marvel collaboration blind box vinyls, they're really awesome, we're trying to collect them all!

Till Next Time,

I'm back! So here's some art for you!

I got back from vacation on Tuesday, I hope you all enjoyed Cristian's blog post in my absence and I apologize for being so late with the entry this week.

This week, I thought that I would give you all a peak at the other types of artwork that Cristian does, since I can't show you pictures of the comic.
These paintings are from his figure drawing class last semester, let us know what you think!
Enjoy:



I know this blog is about a comic book, but hopefully you enjoyed the paintings nonetheless!
Also, make sure you go watch The Rise of the Planet of the Apes this weekend, we saw it last night and it was actually really well done and even gave a nod or two to the previous films.

Till next time everyone,

~Angelica P.R.
