In thinking of characters to tackle on a weekly basis I knew immediately that one of my choices would be Blacksad. I wish I had the gift of gab to express my love for the hard-boiled feline detective and the gritty world he inhabits. I'm eternally grateful to my local library and its graphic novel section for introducing me to the awesomeness that is John Blacksad and to Juanjo Guarnido for showing me that you can draw anthropomorphic animals and not have it degrade to yaoi catboys.
As soon as Dark Horse Comics released the hardcover collected edition, I was all over it like a fat kid on a Smartie! Everyone should own a copy for their personal library of graphic novels... I'm just sayin'.
Still getting used to Photoshop and its endless menu of choices. At the risk of being Mr. Obvious, backgrounds are really not my thing.

Hey all, I really like Black Sad, unfortunately, I have never read it. Every time I pick it up, it is in french. So what happens is I just end up looking though the thing like 7 times just taking it all in. I planned this one out earlier in the week. I really wanted to do something a bit more than the ones that I have done up already. I hope you like it, I am pretty pleased with it.
