And now…something NEW!
First off, check this out!
Cool, huh? That’s Scottie Watson and Troy Boyle! I think you’ll be seeing some more of these two here very soon around these parts!
Next, have you heard the latest news? As we have begun to grow things around here, we’ve added another sub-site to the Red Handed stable of websites! This time Dead Reckoning is breaking out with a website of its very own, and doing it in fine fashion! Get on over to the Dead Reckoning site and check it out! That’s where you’ll find all the most up to date news and links for Dead Reckoning. We’ll be adding a gallery here soon, sprucing the place up with some crazy custom graphics, and generally making it just as cool as the rest of our sites. That’s also the place you’ll find a free ten page intro story to the Dead Reckoning universe, and our main character Ellabeth Parker! This thing tosses you right into the story and gets things going at hyperspeed, so you don’t want to miss it!
And…something new!
If you were paying attention you’ll remember just a few days ago when I showed you the inked piece Scottie Ray Watson did up starring Dead Reckoning’s EB Parker. It was totally hot in black and white, but now we have it for you in color! And even cooler than that, we have it in TWO versions! The first is by Dynagirl cover colorist and international man of mystery, SPLASH!
WOO! That’s just scary cool right there! Next up a totally different yet still kick ass version by the multi-talented and all around good egg, Troy Boyle!
Yikes! Isn’t it amazing how cool both versions are and yet how vastly different at the same time? Talk about a study in the use of color! A huge thanks and well done to both of these guys! You’ll see SPLASH! as he continues rocking our covers on Dynagirl over at the Dynagirl Website. Troy, on the other hand, is going to be doing some work for us here at Red Handed here very shortly, even if we have to add something just for him!
Have a great week out there folks, more to come shortly!
A Whole New Year!
Yes, I realize we’re a full two weeks into the new year, but hey, better late than never! Plus I came armed with artwork, so cut me some slack!
Where to start…Dead Reckoning is kicking ass! We’ve got two stellar versions of the cover, and Scottie is sending me crazy new art on almost a daily basis! When we get this graphic novel done people are gonna lose their minds! Check out the first version by Dynagirl cover artist and all around man of mystery, SPLASH!
HOT, right? SPLASH really nailed it I thought, capturing the sci fi feel, plus just nailing the various cover elements. The dude is a deft hand at this stuff, believe me.
Not to be outdone, the beautiful and talented Carly Spade turned in her version this week:
That’s just SICK! Check out how vastly different it is from version one, and yet how cool in its own right! I like the almost dirty feel it has to it, bringing back a feeling of the old spaghetti western flicks I used to watch as a kid. It still has the sci fi feel to it as well, which I think really brings it home.
And remember when I said Scottie has been sending me new art? hehe
Ouch. Now consider she’s holding a still beating heart in her left hand. How sexy is she now? 
And what else? How about Dynagirl? Have you been keeping up with the series? We’re already digging into issue 4 at this point, we’ve got some crazy action going on, and we’re building a world every single week. Come check it out! The latest and greatest stuff coming off the amazing pencils of Harold Edge is…Jungle Dynagirl!
And I thought she scared me in her regular suit! That spear just terrifies me!
It’s funny really, because I just got off the phone after a deeply interesting conversation that will, if it bears fruit, completely alter things as we know them around here. To say changes are coming would be putting it very lightly folks, so hang in there and hold on tight, because Red Handed is about to do some things that will blow your minds!
Meantime, are you a fan of podcasts? If you aren’t, get out from under that rock you’re living under and start listening to this great stuff! Comic Related has an excellent array of podcasts which offer something for just about everyone. The one you REALLY want to listen to is Zone 4. Those guys are just crazy! I know them pretty well, and not only are they really good people, but they have some really interesting stuff on the show. right now there’s even a trivia contest going on where you can win some kick ass prizes! So yeah, get over there, subscribe, and start enjoying you some Zone 4!
