Nice one!

This shows my interest in comic books as art. I'm working toward the goal of this being the standard look. I hope I'm learning my art lessons from Jack Kirby well. I surfed threw my "40 Years of the Fantastic Four" on DVD to check out a few tips as I inked and colored it. I love Jack's flare; it seems so compatible with the stuff I like to do.

So I hope it continues to be "nice" in the future.

Sweet. =3

"Sweet", if that applies to the color as well, I did an old trick. Right from the comic books, before I reduce the size (15x10in 600dpi) I use the criss cross lines and dots just like the old comic books (or do they still do that?). Manga Studio makes this real easy to do, lots of layers to do it but that's O.K. It really helped to get that old comic book look, I was trying for.

Well that's part of how I made it look "sweet". And to let you and others know, after I'm done presenting my old development work. With some being finished like this one. I've plans to try to do comics; and this quality, higher if I can, is what I want my gallery to look like.

Interesting way of doing things. :3 I think some comics would be pretty nice to see, especially done this way.

Yes, I looked at the detail in some new comics I have; and it looks like they might still be doing tone or intensity printing. But it is not the same as the older comics. The newer ones have more colors but the older ones have more of a brightness, sparkle, jump out at you or however you would discribe it. Which stays, even when you reduce the size like I did here. The tones/intensity mix with each other and the white background to keep the same look of the original size. I am so pleased with how it looks and feels like comics before 1980 that I will do more coloring like this.

very nice i like the coulors you did on the naga

I am very pleased with how pre-1980 comic book this looks. Printing on news print gives the colors a grain look that is missing in this perfectly smooth computer color. But I could look into a computer simulation of adding grain and maybe see if I could get even closer to that comic book look. Something for me to think about. But this worked out good enough as it is.

When she becomes hungry again....whale is next, isn't it?

Maybe I could have her go after bigger game. That idea is in some of notes as a possibility to draw.

I think she looks fantastic.
I hope she doesn't get indigestion.

No, just needs a long sleep to digest. She didn't overdue it that much.
