Comic
First work of the year!
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 | Art, Byzantium, Comic | No Comments
It’s a cameo of Constantine the great that I made to cross promote my historical webcomic, Emperors of Byzantium, and my friend Irving’s blog, Neo Byzantium.
It was done with my favorite brush-pens, on a smallish piece of bristol board.
Cast page update

The point I’m at now is correcting my mistakes. I somehow used the color to edit some of the faces beyond recognition, so I have to go back and study the character sheets to figure out what the heck I did wrong. Should be interesting… Gaaaaaah
Newness

New character, new story (entitled ‘Empathy’), trying to do a subtly new style for both. Plus… new post! Gawd, how long has it been??

More to come as I work on a cast group ‘photo’ art piece.
Not quite right, but…

Finished the Daughter of the Sun picture! The biggest change in my technique with this one is that I started coloring on a base of the light yellow, in other words, with a colored background as opposed to white. I feel like this could have used something more, but I got sick of staring at it and decided to call it done.
WIP Maiden & Ogre

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.
