Hurlshort Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 I started an actual storyline per Wals' request this week. It's Zombie Appreciation Week! Here in the states we use M&M's in our trail mix. Chocolate chips sound a little crazy there. http://www.waltersland.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your zombie thing sounds more like a fire drill than anything... everyone troops out like zombies, waits a bit, then troops back in. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Hurlshort Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 I want to bump the thread and give a short update. I am down to my last few student drawn comics, so I've been brainstorming on how to make my own comics without them looking like utter garbage. I decided to go with bitmap comics using Grafx2. Feel free to stop by in a week or so and see my first strips. Here is my first shot at it: http://www.waltersland.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'm starting to develop an art style, I think. I plan on improving, of course, but I think it is a good start. At least my daughter was able to recognize it as a playground. Here is the most recent comic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghagh Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'd keep it in black and white. The colors don't work together very well, are distracting. Keeping it simple in black and white makes it easier to read and also give you reason to focus on your linework to keep character apart which in the long run will help develop your art skills a lot more.

Is this better? I'll play around with it, excellent suggestion. I agree the colors aren't very good. I'll try a couple different color schemes as well.

Blarghagh Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) It's better, but not what I meant. I meant just using black linework, which often is just as effective as anything else. Example: Also, with what you got now the lack of contrast between the background and text makes it hard to read. Make the text black and it'll be fine, I suspect.
