The primary challenge of this project was to illustrate a believable environment for a story set in a mythical Sherwood Forest setting.
I am very fortunate to have friends whose hobby is the historical reconstruction of Early Medieval Period, so they offered help and shared their knowledge. When you know something isn't right, it looks fake and takes you out of the experience. Chain armor will rip your skin off, if you wear it like that that's why it's a big problem. When I play fantasy games or watch fantasy movies, I often see details such as characters wearing chain armor over bare skin. After I laid out the second page of 'Tuckered', he offered to publish it and sent me a contract.Įven though 'Tuckered' is a 10-page gay erotic and romantic mini-comic, it wasn't easy to draw and I took the process of making it very seriously. Being a reckless mercenary person, I asked Dale to send me a try-out script shortly after the project was finished we both were curious to see if I was able to draw a comic from scratch.
Dale Lazarov and I first worked together when I colored PEACOCK PUNKS, a graphic novel drawn by Mauro Mariotti and written and art directed by Dale. Recently I had the opportunity to work on a mini-comic titled 'Tuckered', originally written by Dale Lazarov in 2006.
