So I was doing some non-page work last night after I got in from seeing 300. (I recommend it. I thought I was going to hate it, but I ended up really enjoying it. That could have been the company, but there was something really great about the movie.) I found something noble about the whole band of brothers fighting together thing. I liked it.
But anyway, I was coloring this old sketch of mine that I did a while ago, and I thought I should post it here as well. It's also up on my deviantart page: here
Some people get curious about how I do the textures on the images like this one and the set of tarot cards I did before it. (This character is from the Queen of Swords image that I did. It was everyone in the class's favorite, and I did that one first and spent the most time figuring out the technique I was using for it.) I'm thinking of explaining it as a tutorial for Julie Collins-Rousseau's Scribbleclick which is shaping up to be quite a wonderful little website filled with tutorials, reviews, and the like.
I'm also slated to do a "how-to" on word ballooning for comics for Advanced Manga this quarter (at some point), so I may turn that into a tutorial as well.
Lots to do, it seems. I'll probably start the ballooning demo(n -add the 'n', word balloons can be demons, yes they can) this weekend when I re-thumb and re-create my pages in a more manga layout. That starts tonight, actually.
Anywho, peace and pie for everyone.
I'm going back to doing my Lunar Boy fanart. (For anyone who doesn't know Jarrett Williams, you should. You really, really should.)
And, if no one's yet discovered Wonderland, I also suggest you check it out. Not only is the webpage superbly graphic in its b&w design, but also the tones are really well done, the inks hold up, and the story has me fairly hooked and we're only on page 2.
