Inkwell website updates

[Bob Almond]

It's been a while but I've actually had time today and tomorrow to catch up a bit at my site. Today I updated info on my new News/previews page and added another page of news to the archive section. Also, I finally updated the Photos page with 4 appearances from last December and the recent Pittsburgh Con in April. I don't plan on any more appearances in the near future anyhow with my upcoming work schedule...

By tomorrow I will load all the new commission entries to the gallery2e page and the new gallery2f page and make note of it here. And I added 2 new images already to the previous entry 'convention sketches' .

That is a great Green Lantern! (Did you guys ever work on a GL book?) And I love the detailing and shadows on the Blonde Phantom - very nice.

No, not GREEN LANTERN, just Green Lantern as a character. Thanks for the kind words. I hope to add more to this gallery soon.

But, outside of commissions, as I mentioned in my NEWS/PREVIEWS page, what I'm really looking forward to working on is Vampirella with Mike Lilly, the NIGHTWING penciler and originally intended artist for CAPTAIN GRAVITY & THE POWER OF THE VRIL. Once I'm allowed to post more info & preview images I will.

Please do! I'm sure that will be booberific. (I just couldn't help myself, I apologize...:LOL: )

I am looking forwward to seeing what you guys do with her.:D

[Bob Almond]

For those interested, this week I made minor updates on the LINKS, CONTRIBUTERS, & CREDITS pages as well as posting new commission entries and adding to others in my GALLERY2f page.

[Craig Reade]

Gah! The links page hurts my eyes :) :LOL: Sorry, just the black letters on the colorful backround is tough to read... thought I would give feedback!

Cool stuff though - I shall have to read through it.

[Bob Almond]

Sorry to blind you, Craig. I admit that that background doesn't make it easy.....but I was partial to that cover montage that we used for the cover of BP # 36, the 35th anniversary issue and I wanted to use it somewhere (besides an image in the Features section).

Anyone else have any feedback regarding the LINKS page background? Maybe it's time for a change....

Thanks! And feel free to LMK about anything else that you see or read, Craig.

[Craig Reade]

Yeah - I see what you are saying. But it is always easier to read words on solid backgrounds :)

Maybe a cover gallery on your site? I don't know what kind of space you have....

Ill let you know what I think after I finish looking at it all!

[Bob Almond]

I updated my solicitations section of my NEWS/PREVIEWS page and added cover art for the PANTHERE NOIRE: MARVEL MONSTER EDITION # 3 (3 copies for sale now in my Art for sale page) and VAMPIRELLA: REVELATIONS # 0 which will debut at SDCC next month (not the finalized cover).

Nice side-by side. Do you have links to the full-sized pencils?

It is interesting to see the comparision between finished an unfinished. Makes you appreciate the work that much more...

[Bob Almond]

Hi Craig,
Well, I don't normally blow up pencils images but I adjusted it here on this entry at your request. Sadly since the pencil scans are only 72 dpi the images are smaller than the inked versions scanned at higher resolutions, especially Rags'. Maybe if I get a chance later I can try rescanning....

Best,

Bob Almond

[Craig Reade]

Not THAT important - I just find it facinating to see the before and after - what you did was a big help there. I think if more people could see the comparisons, they might appreciate what inkers do a little more :).

[Bob Almond]

I aim to please. While you responded I turned out scanning the two smaller files over. It's all set now. ENJOY!

Andrea, a question: I noticed some time back that while I was trying to add an attachment the site told me that I was exceeding my quota and files needed to be deleted. I deleted a LOT of old attachments but it still doesn't let me upload any. I hadn't had this problem at another similar forum. Any thoughts? Otherwise I'll do like I have been and simply keep posting links.

Another question: after posts why can't I now write the name of my site link ("The Bob Almond Inkwell") and then the URL? I used to get 2 different windows allowing me to do so but now I just get the URL one. Curious....

Thanks!

[T.C. Johnson]

Very cool stuff on the site.

By the way, you might want to PM Craig Reade about that problem. He is more the technical guy.

[Andrea Speed]

Yeah, that's definitely a Craig question - I'll let him know!

Also, great Buffy image! That should have been a cover...

[Craig Reade]

I noticed some time back that while I was trying to add an attachment the site told me that I was exceeding my quota and files needed to be deleted.

Looking into this right now :)

[QUOTE=Bob Almond]Another question: after posts why can't I now write the name of my site link ("The Bob Almond Inkwell") and then the URL? I used to get 2 different windows allowing me to do so but now I just get the URL one. Curious....[/url]

Something got changed with the latest update to make it only one window. Now the first window that pops up is the URL one, and after you submit that one, you get something that looks like this in your message box - http://www.almondink.com, where the link inside the URL brackets is highlighted. From there you are supposed to just type the name of the website while it is still highlilghted. Which, of course, will give you this - Bob Almond (http://www.almondink.com).

I think the old way is better too - I think they were trying to make it a little leaner this way though. Hopefully that answers your question. I will get back to you on the file attachments soon...

[Craig Reade]

K, your file attachment issue should be fixed now :). Let me know if you have any other problems...

[Bob Almond]

Looks like it works! Thanks, Craig!!

Hey gang,
I was planning on more website updates this week but I didn't get to it before the QUASAR pages arrived. I won't be able to post 2 new entries in the gallery2 section...one was for the 2 sketchbook sketches and the commission I did at the Pittsburgh Comicon but the other was an image of SHIELD agent Val (Countessa Valentina Allegro de Fontaine)...this one I can show you here. It was a character design for the UNION JACK series by Mike Perkins and he penciled & inked the full-figure of her and pencilled the head shot in the top right corner. Upon suggestion of the client, I rendered in the rest of the Steranko-esque image and inked the head shot.

The remainder of 2008 will see the Inkwell Awards reach new heights with new features for the web-site including exclusive interviews, articles, inking tutorials, examples of art in both pencil and ink form and much, much more.
