I just got home from the Comic-Con and it was a crazy but fun time. I picked up a few new books and meet a lot of the web-comic authors I’ve been following on-line which was a real treat. I’d have to say the highlight for me was meeting [...]
Here are the pages from Monday. I wasn’t sure if it was obvious that new pages went live because it’s wasn’t front and center on the site. So, incase you came and missed it, here they are.
Just a reminder that I’m on vacation now, so I probably wont be very active online for the next [...]
I’m happy to announce that through your pledges at Kickstarter.com we have reached the $6,000 ULTIMATE GOAL! This combined with the Xeric Grant money totals $11,000 which means reMIND is getting an upgrade from a really nice looking hardbound book to a really, REALLY beautiful looking cloth bound hardcover. The pledges are still coming in [...]
These last few weeks have been filled with late nights working on my Kickstarter video that soon switched to late nights celebrating at the amount of pledges. Then once the elation settled I spent a few late nights stressing about all the people who are now expecting a book or painting. I need a chiropractor [...]
New Monday pages here.
I hope you’re not saddened that some of the mystery is gone. In fact, next week a few more secrets are revealed which change the course of Victuals’ future like nothing before.
I might be, ever so slightly, updating the reMIND font/logo after next weeks spread. It occurred to me that I might [...]
Do you want to reserve a copy of reMIND?
Do you want to get a discount?
Do you want to get your name printed in the book itself?
Do you want to see some spoilers?
Do you want to be my BFF?
Well, I’ve officially launched a Kickstarter.com campaign to do all the above and then some! If you’ve never [...]
Secrets are reveled in this weeks new pages.
Sorry I waited an extra day to post this week. I finished these pages before I finished the final colors of page 64 and it looked like a completely different scene. After looking at it again on Sunday night I realized that it needed a little overhaul to [...]
It’s the 4th of July holiday here is the U.S., and a three day weekend for me, so I’m using this as an excuse to post the new pages tomorrow (Tuesday) so I can do some more relaxing. Honestly, I’ve been staying up till around 1 A.M. in the morning working my next plan of [...]
Part 3 – Art Directing your Graphic Novel
For those of you who just want a bunch of quick links to get free textures, here are a few I’ve used before.
CGTextures.com

bittbox.com
But for those of you who want your project to be truly you own, it’s not as hard as it seems and the end result will [...]
Happy Monday! Here are the new pages.
So, I know you must be wondering why I chose to make three full pages with the same camera angle. Was I being lazy? Was I inspired? To tell you the truth, I’ve always enjoyed coming across scenes in a comic similar to this where you can just absorb [...]
Part 2 – How I use flats
When I first started making comics I was clueless about the coloring process. I would paint under my line art that was set to multiply but that was the extent of my knowledge. It always seemed like such mindless work to paint between the lines, to fill in the shapes, [...]
Last week I commented about how cool Der-shing was for linking to reMIND from his cool comic, The Meek. Someone was kind enough to point out that Der-shing is a ’she’, not a ‘he’. Wow, Sorry ’bout that Dar-shing. I’m totally embarrassed.
Another reader pointed out that some of my RSS feeds have been going out [...]
Trent Kaniuga sits in an all blue, dimly lit, dry room, in a modified bucket seat chair, deep in thought. Contemplating where he’s been all these years and whether or not he should have eaten that last taco. It doesn’t matter. He’s here and he’s waiting. Sixteen years as a comic book artist, 8 of [...]
Part 1 – Multiply and Flatting
First of all, I highly recommend using Adobe Photoshop in which all the steps below are achieved. It’s an industry standard and will also come in handy for everything else creative you choose to do. I know it’s expensive but it’s worth every penny.
If you are new to coloring comics [...]
What a week! I went to the doctor to check a simple pain in my stomach and he sent me straight to the emergency room! Needless to say, I’m fine. I had a CT scan and nothing showed up so they sent me home. What’s worse, I kept wondering if I was going to be [...]
I got home from work and found this in my mailbox from the Xeric Foundation…
I haven’t opened it yet… I’ll let you know what it says Monday morning. Have a good weekend.

Will Publishing Online First, Ruin my Chances of Print?
I got this question a few months back from a talented artist.
Question: I was just curious to hear your thoughts about whether or not publishing your pages online first, might burn any bridges when looking for a literary agent/book publisher in the future?
Just curious. I’m pursuing [...]
To my relief, we are finally at the end of our flashback. Talk about a burden off my shoulders. You see, now that it’s out there for everyone to see, I can’t trick myself into rethinking it anymore than I should. When I write stories, (not saying I’m a writer or anything) I always get [...]
So first off, I want to welcome all the new viewers from Sarah Ellerton’s The Phoenix Requiem. She is so nice to give me a link on the front page of her site. It’s more than I could have ever asked for and I am super grateful! It’s exciting to see all the new visitors [...]
Happy Memorial Day! (for the locals anyway)
I have the day off so hopefully I’ll be able to get a little work done on reMIND this week. Due to recent events, I’ve decided it’s time to change up a few things.
First, a small change. When you click on the page image below you will be taken [...]
