WIP Maiden & Ogre

Monday, June 1st, 2009 | Art, Comic, Failed Tales

First is the sketch, looking pretty muddy and smudged, and second is the inks and the beginnings of the colored pencils/markers. It’s too bad I didn’t scan the inks, because they looked kinda cool.

With this picture I’m trying to establish a color palette and overall feeling for the comic that I’m working on for the iphone. You can see some digital panels here and here, but I’m considering a switch to mixed media on bristol board. I would use marker, colored pencil, watercolor, acrylics, construction and origami paper to make it more interesting and textured. At the moment though, I don’t know which way I’ll go, it depends on whether a publishing deal works out or not.

The interesting thing about the iphone comic medium is that I can make it work more like a movie than a comic. The story itself is more episodic than a usual story form, so I think it will lend itself well to the iphone.
