Returning guest and rising comic book coloring superstar STEVE CANON is back for an unfiltered, no-holds-barred deep dive into the world of a professional colorist!
In this episode we bring the heat on:
- His very first covers on the main Spawn title (Spawn #369 A & B with Raymond Gay & Danny Earls)
- Coloring Danny Earls’ mind-blowing architectural covers for Sam & Twitch: Gangland
- The Daniel Warren Johnson Youngblood relaunch variant for Rob Liefeld
- Upcoming Dark Souls miniseries by George Mann
- Alpha Clash comic (the lore book for the hot new tabletop game)
- The real state of the comic industry in 2025 — creator-owned vs. the Big Two, building leverage, and surviving as a pro
- AI in comics: helpful tool or existential threat? (and why the line is getting scary-blurry)
- Why some “simple” covers take weeks while others are done in a day
- Steve’s complete coloring workflow: Procreate → Clip Studio → Photoshop breakdown
- Balancing full-time fatherhood while coloring some of the hottest books on the stands right now
