Hunger’s Bite is out!

A specter is haunting the Atlantic!

After growing up together on the luxurious SS Lark, Neeta Pandey and Emery Botwright are ready to start their lives. Emery wants to follow in his father’s footsteps and sail the Lark forever, while Neeta yearns to travel the world. But neither will have any future at all if the Lark’s new owner, Mr. Honeycutt, has his way.

Mr. Honeycutt… The first-class passengers adore him, while he makes the ship a nightmare for the crew. Twisted by unnatural appetites, the rich are actually transforming into something less than human, and their insatiable demands soon push the staff toward a—quite literal— burnout.

image

Something otherworldly is undeniably aboard the SS Lark, something horribly hungry. But it’s not Wick Farley: vampire, secret agent, and paranormal investigator. Alone and at sea, with only Neeta and Emery to help him, he must uncover the truth about Mr. Honeycutt. And fast—before a ravenous craving for power consumes them all.

Draw three subjects in the foreground, midground, and background using atmospheric perspective! You can open the image in a new tab to get a higher resolution to draw on (or you can use your own!)

(thanks @leog4u for letting me use their great photos. and if you liked this tutorial, consider grabbing a copy of my graphic novel featuring these characters!)

 

hey man i finally read hunger's bite! and it was really good! some of those page turns were gnarly lol i had to take a deep breath like jumping in the pool. i love your paneling too and use of color. and i love your characters :) when the next book is ready, you can count on me to preorder! fingers crossed the publisher reups! (p.s. if they do would your preference be one or two books? do you feel like you have two more books worth of story in the tank?)

(minor spoiler alert)

i can't believe emery was everybody's special little birthday boy lol pinches his cheeks awwwww everybody loves him it's his birthday :) [editor's note: it was the worst fucking day of his life]

thank you!!!! hehe and thank you for calling out the page turns specifically, that was ON PURPOSE!!!!

and the preference is two books! i’ve envisioned it as a trilogy from the start and book 3 is outlined and really really good :^)
