In case you thought I couldn’t take the ghost rodeo any further. I think Pickle got about 8 seconds.
Did you know DeviantArt lets you change your username now? Pretty freaking sweet. You can find me at http://ostlie.deviantart.com/
SlideStudios is dead! Long live Ostlie!
KA-BLOOOOEEEY!
Give us a vote and in return I shall give a digital splatter and halftone tutorial.
Who saw Avengers? Pretty awesome, right? I love the flavor that Whedon brings to his projects.
Speaking of movies, I recorded my coloring and lettering process for page 13 and 14. So once I post those pages, I’ll toss those videos up. Once I can figure how record my traditional process, I will start recording those.
Want to see one of the first sequential pages I drew almost 4 years ago? Well, place a vote for Shiver Bureau at TWC and you will get what you want.

It’s just a one off page that I drew for practice. It’s not part of a larger story. The basic idea for the script if some playboy/devil coming in to buy someone’s art and soul. Or something like that. I guess I must have really liked yellow back then. I don’t know why, it’s not as cool as green!
Head over and vote at Top Web Comics for Shiver Bureau. You’ll get to see the pencils and inks for this page if you do.
Well, I’m back safe and sound from C2E2. Had a great time, got to meet some people that I’ve only talked to online, so that was great putting a face to an avatar.
As with all conventions, I didn’t get to walk around and meet as many people as I had hoped. I am always on the lookout for new comics but too many people hide their merchandise at night. So when I get there early in the morning, I have nothing to look at. If you go to a convention and want to put away your merch, you should just leave one out for people like me. If I see something cool in the morning, I make a note to go back and buy something, otherwise I never leave my table during the convention.
I did pick up issues 1-5 of Valen the Outcast. Both writer and artist were at the con and I talked with the writer, Michael Alan Nelson, for a bit. Really nice guy. I read through the 5 issues and I loved them. The art is top notch and the story feels big and exciting. Can’t wait for the rest of them now.
Also got a chance to talked to the creators of Boke Expressway and Little Guardians. I haven’t read through their comics yet, but I am looking forward to checking them out.
One of these I will do a much better job of meeting everyone.
The best of the con? Learning of and getting to draw Dex-Starr…twice. Evil house cat, part of the Red Corps, what?! Here is one of the commissions, if you have the other one I did, I would love an image of it.
Well I hope you enjoyed the first 4 pages. Today marks the first official Thursday update.
In related news (related because it is news about me), C2E2 is this weekend. I will be in the artist alley, table A15. Me and Larry Watts will be sharing a table and kicking it with James, art collector extraordinaire.
I’ve been informed we will be sandwiched between Carl Peterson and Freddie Williams. Wowzers.
If you will be at C2E2 and want to pre-order a commission, just drop me an email at walterostlie at gmail dot com.
I setup Shiver Bureau on Top Web Comics, so if you could swing by and drop me a vote, that would be awesome. It’s just 2 clicks and no sign up. As an added bonus you can see the thumbnail for this page. Vote!
