Well... for our Digital Methods class (which a lot of it I'm guess is going to be learning Photoshop) we're supposed to take a short story/poem and put our own spin on it. It's supposed to be 10-15 pages.
I chose to do "Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe. Yeah, I am a little afraid that everyone and their dog in that class is going to do Poe, but I chose "Tell-Tale Heart" because I know the story so well, I have some interesting ideas for imagery in it, and the story has a bit of sentimental value for me (... don't ask).
As you can see, the "real time" insane asylum part and the "flashback" story narration are in very different color schemes. I did the parts in the insane asylum as color because it's in real life. I did the flashback in limited color because it does give it that more macabre "Poe-esque" look, it's easier to shade (white spaces require no highlighting :D), and it's Reynard's "memory". Reynard is a dog... dogs see in limited color... there you go.
And after this (and the second page) I am going to be using less and less panels to save on time.
Also YAY DISGUSTING DETAILS!
I am going to be posting these as I make them, rather then getting them all done and suddenly spamming you inboxes with 10-15 pages of this comic.
Note: Most dialogue in the insane asylum will be spoken as direct quote from "Tell Tale Heart". So, beginning part dialogue is owned by Poe.
Now that I've said that, the angry ghost of Poe will not come and beat the crap out of me for stealing his words. ^.^

Dude. Awesome Tell-Tale Heart story. This is my introduction to Poe: My 5th grade teacher had an audio recording of it, really well-narrated, and turned off all the lights in the room while we listened. The only light would have been coming from the window on the door but she covered it in black paper.
The story even had a phantom heartbeat in the background of the audio... *shiver* I was in love with Poe ever since.

Here, I found a link to the one I read. The art was so cool... Cartoony, but in a really messed-up, 'why are kids looking at this?' way. :3

I usually, with comics, do an elaborate background in the first panel to establish setting then leave the rest of the panels minimal to no background.
Yeah... People have told me to send my stuff in, but I never feel I have enough stuff and I change artistic techniques a lot (first tried ink shading in comics, then no shading, then limited color, then computer shading...)

I get bored in the inking process and have to doodle details all over my panels. This results in me getting bored with drawing comics and finishing while the comic is only half-done. It may not be the best work ethic, but it is unique to me.
Also, many of us are like that starting out. That's why we're supposed to develop a style and stick to it instead of putting our 'all' into every panel, which will inevitably change as the comic progresses, but it's too darn fun to work in excess.

Well hey! If it works, it works!
Of course, things get worse if your a detail whore and get obsessive over every little thing.
With some comics, detail overload works, and with others detail overload looks like it's been overworked and over done. It all depends on the style of the artist.
