My
name is Steve Myers but let’s be real, how basic, right?? So my friends
call me Scuba.
Being a 90s kid, you have to misspell everything and
make it cooler. So if you see me around the internet or at conventions,
most likely you’ll see my art signed ‘Skooba’.
Now you know, and knowing
is half the battle!!
(Told ya, 90s kid…) Let’s get down to brass
tax.
I was asked if I’d do an interview with this lovely site and of
course I couldn’t pass up.
So beyond being a rambling nerd, what else is
there about me?? Well..um… oh wow…good question…existential moment
here…. *cough*
I grew up in Missouri and was drawing from a young
age.
Pulling my first all nighters at grandma’s house in order to finish
my comics before the next morning so I could present them with pride at
breakfast.
That passion waned a bit as I discovered my first anime
(Dragonball Z, duh!) at a young age and fell in love with animation more
so than comics…until (dramatic music) BATTLE CHASERS! Yes!
That book
was my golden ticket, my muse, for years to come, to show me what could
be done in comics and what I wish to achieve some day as well!
So with a
fury, I was quickly back into the game.
However, it was many years
of struggle and burger flipping before I even landed my first comic job.
A few years ago I was approached by Deon Brown to be the lead penciller
on his comic story, Battle for Ozellberg (
www.ozellberg.com)
and it was a huge honor.
I worked with an amazing team, Jeff Morrow,
Chris Chandler, Deon himself, and Licca Kirk to pump out the 3 issue
mini series retelling of Little Red Riding Hood…but with a twist!
(c’mon, I can’t give it all away to you here, head on over to
indyplanet.com and see for yourself!)
From there I bounced around
with a few freelances jobs, nothing really set in stone until finally
landing with a company called Inbeon Studios. (

Currently I’m pencilling and inking on an epic fantasy story called
‘Zaidura Chronicles’ created by CJ Martin. It’s been a blast so far, and
really hoping you’ll all join us on the journey!!
I could tell you
about my story all day, but let’s be real..you’re all here for the art,
right?!

earned money— I mean uh…. where I can shake your hands and appreciate

But really, follow me at the links

I’ve got a long ways to go
still and would love you all to be on that journey with me!
