Jacob Mott takes over “Naked Justice: Beginnings!”

A few weeks back, we announced that Naked Justice would be getting a brand new series recounting his very first days as a super hero.  Artist Shemyaza began work on the new series entitled “Naked Justice: Beginnings”, and completed the first 10 pages from the first issue before bowing out of the project due to other commitments.

We’re pleased to announce that the series is still being produced, and that artist extraordinaire, Jacob Mott, most famous for his Big Watch Boiz and Freshmen Magazine illustrations has taken over where Shemyaza has left off, and agreed to complete the series.  Since there are similarities between Jacob and Shemyaza’s artistic styles, the art in the first issue will continue to flow beautifully.

Patrick, who has admired Jacob’s art for a very long time, couldn’t be happier that this prolific and extremely creative artist has agreed to do the series.

“I’ve wanted to work with Jacob for like, EVER!  But a man this talented is understandably in high demand!  Still I figured it was worth giving him a buzz about the project.  I couldn’t believe my luck! Jacob had an opening in his schedule just as I approached him with the series.  He was thrilled to get to work on NJ, and lemme tell ya, it really shows in his artwork!”

We will bring you more info on Naked Justice:Beginnings #1, such as official release dates as it becomes availbale.  In the meantime, take a look at Jacob’s Big Watch Boiz site for a taste of what this phenomenal artist is capable of.

Jacob also contributes regularly to the Artistic License Blog.  You can also check out Patrick Fillion’s Blog, Boytoons Magazine for some more info on Jacob.

Boytoon Adventures – Comics for Grow’d Up Boys!

Patrick Fillion has been trying out a new illustrative style.  Inspired by his affection for the Star Wars Clone Wars comics art style, as well as Bara and Manga comics, Patrick has evolved a very hip and cool new way of drawing his characters.  Enter Boytoon Adventures #1.

This is a first for Class Comics in many ways, a full color, 70+ page Digest that will feature Patrick’s art, but under the public pen name of Bryce Peters.  The pen name is to help people better identify and differentiate between Patrick’s 2 illustrative styles.

For Boytoon Adventures #1, Patrick has written 4 fresh new stories featuring many of his most recognized creations; Zahn, Locus, Flamer, Captain Jung, Disco, Diablo, Ghostboy and Camili-Cat are all set to make an appearance.  Each story is set in the proper Class Comics continuity, and respects the events and plots established in other publications to date. Though the art is cartoony in nature, the stories are still seriously sexy, and there is plenty of sex to boot.

As a special treat, Robert Fraser will also be contributing a fresh new story featuring characters from his über-hot series, the Initiation.  Pledge master Zack will get fleshed out and felt up for your viewing pleasure.

Never fear, this doesn’t mean that Patrick has dropped his classic drawing style at all, quite the contrary.  “I am an artist that enjoys working on lots of different things at once.  Right now I have Felinoids #3, Deimos #2, Rapture #3, A new Cube book and a few other projects on the go… but Boytoon Adventures has been a really great way to keep creative while doing so in a very different way from what I am used to.  It’s been a fun change of pace, and that rocks!”

Patrick hopes to complete Boytoon Adventures #1 in time for late 2008 release.  We will keep you to date on the official release date as the information becomes available.
