It's upside down, i don't know why.

The comic thus far. Some astronauts return from a 10 year mission to find dinosaurs have returned from space and taken over earth.

So for the book project I'll be working with images from several comic ideas I have. There wont really be any story to the thing, I'll just be working on the overall look of the worlds/characters. I'm trying to get the hang of drawing with a tablet and coloring stuff I scan in.

So here are the posters. Of the three themes i went with movie posters, although Seer could be some obscure Canadian indi band.

I used the lasso tool, particularly the polygon lasso, a lot, and erased through layers too.

I played with the text most on the katz poster. its weird how much the feel of the image changed from just slanting the text. Horizontal text was just way to calm for cats with machine guns.

I started these by trying out different type faces and choosing what I liked. The fat type tended to be more fun to play with. I chose letter that worked with the design I wanted (B for Batman, f for forrest) for some of the designs, but for others i just went for what letter was the most graphicly appealing to me.

scratch #2 and #3

For # 3 I used only the lasso tool with the opacity at about 50%. #2 I hadn't figured out how to fill in lasso shapes yet, so i just colored it with the paint brush tool. #1 i did with only the paint brush tool.

Before this class i had no idea how to use layers or how to mess with opacity. Hooray for layers!!!

As for my favorite image, it a toss up between #1 and #3. #1 is a little more crude than #3, but i like the colors in that one best.

DMF scratch # 1

After Bill Watterson stopped doing Calvin & Hobbs I didn't really read comics again untill my brother got me my first HellBoy comic. I was hooked. Mike Mignola is basically my hero now. Running close second for awsome art and crazy stories is Doug Tennaple's (the creator of earth worm jim) comics.

Time to catch up on posts. So calvin and hobbs is what started it all. When i was about 11 or so i did a bunch of comics about a space fareing rabbit named "Super Spiffy". Or "Supper Spify", i was (still am) really bad at spelling. Any way, it was basically Spaceman Spiff, but a rabbit. Amazing, right?

backwards again, i don't know why. oh well.

first half of 8 pager. read from bottom to top. i don't know why it did that.
