Start again
So i spent a lot of time planning my comic but what i did plan felt rushed, and i didn't really plan how it would look and what impact i wanted. i made it to nine pages. only one which i really liked maybe two?
my point is I'm going to start again, The same story but more planned out try and get a page a week done, no more no less. i want to try and focus on a weakness of mine, camera angles, i want some crazy ones that you wouldn't really expect not to over the top though.

FEAR!
Scarecrow is one of the best Batman villains in my opinion, you never know what he is going to do and while he isn't much of a match for Batman in a fight he is one of the best villains that break his defences from within and mess with his head.
i had two goes at drawing him, the first was ok but didn't stand out much. The second attempt was much better, i did want him to be on/ have a cross attached to his back, while it might have looked cool it would have been very practical.
Character design
I got asked to do some Character designs for a friends new comic book idea, i dont want to give away anything just incase, but out of the four characters i liked this guy (Swat boy) the most, he has a really cool story.

Walter White.
1. start with a tiny quick sketch.
2. using the sketch as reference i do more of a detailed sketch.
3. lines
4. using one of the dry media brushes in photoshop i start painting detail in and shadows.
5. some flat colours.
6. mix the flats with the greys, i lowered the opacity of the greys here.
7. i added a glow to the meth and a bit of a shine to the glasses.

reMIND Pin-up
Jason Brubaker hosted a competition on his blog http://www.remindblog.com/ to have a pin up featured in his next graphic novel reMIND volume 2. I'm a huge fan of Jasons work, and if it wasn't for his Podcast http://www.makingcomics.com/ i don't think i would have started my own comic, Ive always wanted to to never thought i could do it but listening to making comics and reading reMIND gave me so much inspiration and influence so thanks Jason for that!
It feels good to have a bit of my work on http://www.remindblog.com/ so close to Jasons work! you can see my Pin-up along with the others (some of which blow mine away!) here; http://www.remindblog.com/category/pin-up-contest2/

change in colour
After finishing the city scene Ive decided I'm going to go back and re do the colours in the first few pages. not totally I'm going to leave the flash back scenes the way they are and just change the parts that are in the human world.

A city!
A scene from later on in the story. when Ethan and Meow first see inside one of the towns.
I've taken influences from China and wild west kind of towns, but with a futuristic twist. you cant see it yet but there will be neon lights and other modern/future stuff going on.

After weeks of messing around with colours and editing little things i finally have a page! i have a feeling its going to get easier for my now i have a page to base colours on. Spelling and Grammar are my biggest weaknesses so i will keep going back and editing the pages when i get told of my mistakes. i am happy with it for a first page of my first comic.
I'm excited to get the next done now.

zombies
I want to do a zombie book but focus on the animals side of things
when everything gets messed up!!! i want it to be serious but still have
humour in it. There will be some zombie animals in it. Ive got the
beginning figured out.
A cat asleep up a tree, a few hours later loads of stuff is going on around him like cars crashing and people running away screaming but he Carries on sleeping, when he finally wakes up the undead are everythere. later on in the story he will meet a few more animals like a mouse maybe. the cat isnt bothered about whats happened to the world, he just wants to sleep.
I still want to do my other story but i dont think im ready for a huge epic adventure, right now i want to focus on story telling and angles in my shots, and doing this will help me loads i think.
im going to aim to get a page done a week.

we're all mad here!
The stripes make it look pixelated at the size it shows up on the blog to see it correctly - click on the picture then right click it and view image then zoom.
i will try and get around to fixing it.
panel
A test panel from the scene in the book where the main guy gets fired from his job, the horns are not visible to anyone, there there to show that his (emotions) in this case anger are bringing his imaginary friend back into his world.

whattt? Unfinished!
I hate not finishing a picture but i do like a unfinished picture, there is something about trying to picture the unfinished piece complete. This however isn't one of those. i just wasn't happy with it. no matter what i tried so its left incomplete. I will try another Yoda again some time soon though.
Edit - Ahh disappointed in myself! i drew the young Yoda (ive been watching to much clone wars i think)! that's why i don't like it! arghh!

its coming together!
A finished panel!! part of the scene where the boy first comes face to face with his new/only friend.
just to give you an idea of what the finished thing will look like!!
I'm edging towards the dulled down colour look at the moment.
Edit - Reminds me of Pokemon, Ash coming face to face with a new Pokemon hes about to try and catch.

Another long time post ago! Ive finally got my act together and gone
creative crazy!! Ive spend a month of on and off writing! The children's
book has changed to a comic book. i feel much more comfortable with it
now and comic books are my main passion. The story has evolved a lot.
originally the story was about a boy with a imaginary friend who caused
mischief. Now the story evolves around a man who gets caught up in the
world of imagination, starting with getting a surprise visit from his
childhood imaginary friend. The book starts with the man sitting on a
throne, with a chained up monster guarding him. He starts to explain (as
if talking to 'you' the reader) that he is the first human to enter the
imagination world, or so he was told by the people of this strange
world, The Monster chained up is his imaginary friend. he then explains
that he needs to start right from the beginning and proceeds to tell the
story of when he first met his childhood imaginary friend. The story is
not 100% yet but I'm happy with what Ive got so far.
