Strike911 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Okay, so I've been drawing. And a day ago I decided, "DAMN IT! It's time to draw a comic." So I drew up two pages. I figured I'd might as well post it on the forum. It was really more of an experiment in mixed media than anything else. I'm not really trying to make a full comic or anything, but it was a fun little side project while it lasted. The jpgs are a little big, so you might need to click the fullsize button if your browser resizes them automatically. http://strike911.sanctuslegacy.com/page1.jpg http://strike911.sanctuslegacy.com/page2.jpg Anyway, the story is mediocre at best, but meh... again, I figured I should post it. I just needed some writing to put everything together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremespleen Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Those are nice looking. I had always wanted to find an illustrator that would draw a webcomic and I could write. That would be swell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_NutS Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 omg you killed him!!!! but yeah I like your style, with some practice you could refine it to make it look really great. Keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magewout Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 That looks pretty good to me. Even made me post on the OCR forums, which almost never happens . Keep on the good work man! Oh, and a little question: What's the font you're using? Looks pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike911 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Thanks everybody for the comments. Hehe. I appreciate it. I'm going to work harder to get better. I think using an actual brush in PhotoShop instead of just a pixel would help make it look much more artistic. Oh, and a little question: What's the font you're using? IT's called DigitalStrip, if you google it, I found it on a website, it was just a trial, but it was free for use in personal non-commercial stuff.

The Damned Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Wait... why did you draw a young Micheal Jackson in the first panel? I would use a smiley here, but the new ones... they're just not right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brim Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 This stuff is pretty hot. You need to change the font, I dunno, it sort of annoys me. But otherwise, good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Krono Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 This stuff is pretty hot.You need to change the font, I dunno, it sort of annoys me. But otherwise, good work! But the font is perfect generic comic book font. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brim Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 But the font is perfect generic comic book font. I like it. Yeah, it fits, I just don't like it because its generic. I've seen it around a lot and this comic isn't generic--needs a different font. Might just be me though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faduger Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 not that you care. I started drawing a comic in 6th grade threw highschool. I ended up making like 120 pages.

Guy In Rubber Suit Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Not bad, though you need some work on pacing. On the second page, I would've just drawn out one panel of the gun firing, with the shell ejecting and the top part moving, I don't know the mechanics of a gun but just watch one firing and you'll know what I mean. You don't, and really shouldn't show the initial action, just show the aftermath. It makes it more powerful. The final two panels I'd condense down into a long one showing the character standing with the gun lowered and smoking. You achieved the same meaning with less drawing and more effect. Overall it's not too bad. And what are you using for coloring, MS Paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
