So in the spirit of gearing up for my book next year, I'm starting design work on the side for some of the props.

While I don't advocate those who use Sketchup for tracing or directly pasting into a panel, I love it for eyeballing. In this way it functions like a real model would, allowing me to push and pull certain features in the design to end up with something slightly different each time. This "humanization" of tech is important to me because it's something you can't do digitally.

But because I suck at Sketchup I hired 600V [link] to do it. He (or she, not sure) is somewhere in Russia and speaks very little english. I had a friend hand-write him a letter in Russian in order to communicate once.

But what amazes me are his abilities. He's right up there with Syd Mead when it comes to mechanical design. In fact, he might even be better at certain things with his blend of retro/modern design. (My favorite thing he created is a retro PC that looks like a coffee maker.)

I've never worked with another artist with SO LITTLE communication and had them knock it out of the ballpark, so to speak.

As far as PRJ goes, I plan on starting that as soon as I'm done with Joe. There may be Marvel/DC gigs here and there this year, but my main commitment is to slowly bleed my Vertigo money while working on the book.

Niiice... although putting a suitcase at the front of a bike seems a little bit of a bad idea to me.

Yeah...I guess I thought of it as more of a motorcycle saddle bag. It makes more sense that way.

Looks good only gripe is the direction of the tread of the tire. Although something minimal nobody on the EARTH would care about, some motorcycle purist tard will point it out.
