Weekly update for March 9th, 2020. More art and cons!

Branson Comic Con 2020 booth setup

Hello readers,

Branson comic con is now in the past. A great and fairly profitable experience. Special thanks to the crew who put the show on. Next, will be Planet Comicon in Kansas City   It’s bound to be a busy weekend of comicy goodness. 

Now, down to Astray3 comic business. As the last week proved, we are entering the time of update hiccups. Conventions and other businesses have started to gnaw into comic production time. There are three completed pages in the pipeline for the next three weeks. With another page currently in production, we should have at least four weeks of uninterrupted updates. I will try my best to make it five weeks of uninterrupted updates; no guarantees though. 

That is all for today. I will leave you with a WIP of a new small Spider-verse print I’m working on. The new page of Astray3 should be posting momentarily. 

All the best,

-Eldon

One more member of the trio to add…

Weekly update for Monday 24th, 2020. Art and cons!

Posted on February 24, 2020 by Eldoniousrex

Hello readers,

I’m going to try to make these updates more of a regular thing. We will see how long that lasts…

The above image is a creature design for Assorted Geekdom’s upcoming RPG project. The mysterious aquatic race known as the Uku’ Bant. I experimented with the rendering approach for this piece. Created it as a grayscale then added the color via blending layers. I’m fairly pleased with the result.

Next weekend I will be taking Astray3 to the Fayetteville Comic Show. Promises to be a fun event with a ton of cool guests.

The weekend directly after the Fayetteville event, I will be heading to Branson, MO for the three day Branson Comic Con. Or as the Simpsons put it…

And have I shown you guys the current booth? Probably not. Here is a pic from the previous Neosho Artscon.

My lovely corner of a high school gym.

And that is it for now! See you next time!

All the best,

-Eldon

Weekly update for Feb. 3rd, 2020. Merch and art!

Posted on February 3, 2020 by Eldoniousrex

Greetings readers!

My first set of rad stickers is now up on the big cartel shop! https://astray3.bigcartel.com/ Beautiful high-quality KISS cut vinyl stickers! And a reminder, Patreon patrons get discounts and other perks for new merch releases.

The above art is a revamp of an old Procreate favorite. It’s going to be part of a small series of prints I’m making for upcoming conventions. It’s kind of tough reworking an old piece rather than creating a whole new one. Go figure…

That’s all for now! Be back soon with more art and comics!

All the best,

-Eldon

Astray3 returns on January 20th! and some art!

Posted on January 2, 2020 by Eldoniousrex

Hello, Astray3 faithful!

Yes, the fourth chapter will begin soon! There is a longer post and year-end retrospective on the Patreon page if you are so inclined to read it.

Page posting will largely follow the previous chapter. The main update will post on Monday with the translation following on Saturday. ( If necessary…wink…wink. )

I have a fair number of pages prepared as an update buffer. This should provide about three months of consistent updates. However, I have an aggressive convention/event schedule planned for 2020. That means loads of crucial art time spent traveling and schilling books. I will strive for at least one page a week, but we will probably have to settle for two to three pages a month. Sigh…C’est La Vie.

No need to end on a downer though. Astray3 is back! This will be the biggest chapter yet; along with an epilogue to round out the first part of the new adventure! Be back soon with more art and comics!

All the best,

Eldon

P.S. Have a bonus crab girl to celebrate!

Weekly update for Nov. 20th, 2019. Art and comic teasers!

A3 Chapter 4 page 3 teaser!

Hello Readers,

Here is another teaser for the upcoming Astray3 chapter 4. Work continues apace. I hope to be on course for a New Year release.

On a side note, I’ve started offering commissions. If you would like to have me draw some purdy pictures for you, please contact me at eldon@astray3.com. Rates depend on production time and detail. Here is a piece I created for a client’s D&D loving girlfriend’s birthday.

Next, I will be producing a series of small prints based on Capcom fighting game girls! For the first subject, I’ve chosen Felicia from Darkstalkers.

That’s all for now, more comic panels and art soon.

Till next time,

-Eldon
