With #4 and #5 in colour!!I've got three new issues now up on my dropbox! Go check them out! Download them and give them a read!! Been working on issue seven and its coming on great. I've got my friend and write Ethan Rodgers helping me out with the script. He really helps add that extra bit of detail to the characters which is great.<br />
<br />
Issue 6 is a bit different, being the first of the series to be pencilled and inked by hand and not on computer! Drawing on the computer can feel a bit taxing at times but drawing on paper is more like meditation than work! Its definately the way to. But no doubt, you can learn a lot from drawing with a tablet.<br />
<br />
Issue 6 will be another coloured issue and something that I'm really proud of so look out for that in the near future!<br />

<br />
For anyone who wants to read issue number 3, you can read the 3rd issue in PDF form here:<br /><br />

Thank you. And please leave comments on any parts you don't understand or if the pictures are just overall too confusing. Go nuts on it. I want to know what doesn't work. I bode well to critisism. It makes me stronger like a sayan. I have a feeling my pictures are pretty confusing at times. And the flashbacks maybe a little hard to crasp straight away. I might have to add an extra shading of grey to help clarify things. Also, its hard to know if I'm feeding the reader enough information so they're not just constantly confused about whats going on.Tom Gardenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11502923126584822793noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549871167091758939.post-83156035289697127992012-12-03T01:47:00.001-08:002012-12-05T19:47:31.147-08:00System Earth: Deathbattle at Woodhill Mall #2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So here's my new comic; 'Deathbattle at Woodhill Mall'. I've got this really cool feature on the blogsite now where it zooms in when you hover your mouse over the pics. So you can actually read things on the pages now! Yay. I'm gonna be making these stories and bringing them out weekly so make sure you come back for robot rocking action! Derp </div>

So here's what I've done for my graphic novel, The Hunted. Its been an absolute grind to get this far so I'm just gonna put it down and just start to do some more easy going smaller volumes so I can begin to distribute some of my work on paper and on a regular basis so people can actually start to see my work! This graphic novel project is really massive and it involves a lot of mental effort and my brain feels like its gonna explode whenever I return to the project. So I'm looking forward to just doing some more relaxed jazz that I can just create as I go. There are a few things I haven't fixed up and a few things that I will change, but its all there...and sorry about leaving it on a cliffhanger heh. Theres probably another 6 scenes to go...<br />

Well it is actually really easy, you just need a couple of conflicting characters in some sort of setting and let them..conflict with each other... But if you put that amount of effort into your GN, it would be shit and no one would read it. The trick is trying to do a decent job. Trying to give your vision the respect it deserves and execute it in the way you want it to be. But that can take a lot of work, and you could end up with no comic which is what I've got at the moment. A year and a half into this project. <br />
<br />
<h4>
How do you write a graphic novel?</h4>
<br />
I've been googling that question for a couple of days - trying to get some tips out of other artists doing the same things. Its surprising that the most reoccuring theme in all of the blogs and articles is'nt something like talking about story structure/plot etc. Its more about surviving the self-doubt and anxiety that comes with the job. Somedays you get nowhere and you don't know what the fuck to do. Which makes you feel like shit. And the only thing you do is just think about it. Do nothing and think about it. <br />
<br />
<h4>
"Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task." ~William James</h4>
<br />
I found a website full of procrastination quotes the other day and most of them sum up a lot for me. If you don't get down to brass tacks, you are forever hanging back in some fucked up space. But its what artists have to do!! You gotta go through this phase of stagnant bullshit in order to get on the road to creation. This is especially true for young inexperienced artist who have yet to find their creative process. I watch this amazing talk by John Cleese on creativity. He talks about an open and closed state of mind. An open state of mind is all about creating. Its the state of mind wee kids have when they're playing in the garden. There is no time restrictions, no chores or real world problems to distract their wondering minds. Close state is the way you think when you have to deal with the real world. Pay rent, get a new filter for your car, get insurance for your shit...It completely destroys any creative thought. Obviously you need to survive in the real world so you can't always be floating around in la la land. What Cleese talks about is isolating yourself in a time/space oasis for a period of time. A place with no connection to the outside world. No flatmates around, no T.V, no cell phone, and no FACEBOOK (a concentrated version of our social life) and let yourself drift over to an open state of mind. For me, and a lot of others, this oasis is my bedroom. (I used to work in my studio but there are a lot of distractions). Like Cleese addresses, it takes a while to get your mind warmed up creatively but after a while, things start rolling. And it is this persistency and patience that gets shit done! <br />

So yeah procrastination can get on top of you when your finding it hard to answer the questions your project throws at you. So I guess a true statement would be to say, 'If you don't know the answer to your questions, be patient, don't get distracted and the answer will come to you. Going back and doing a bit of research always makes you feel better as well. <br />
<br />
I read an article about a dude who has been having trouble finishing his graphic novel. Well, finishing any project he starts really. Which is like a lot of us people. Unfortunately, sometimes its not good enough to dream, you have to make it happen too. But that is skill that can be acquired through a bit of understanding of your creative process.<br />

The ones that
are untracable to photocopiers and scanners... They're called non photo
blue pencils. Repeat, non photo blue pencils. Now when you walk into
your art supply shop, you can ask for them and not just "a blue pencil".
Its the pencils animators, designers and comic book pencilers use. You
don't need to rub them out, you can just ink over them and whamo they're untracable when scanned. Any old blue pencil doesn't work, it must
be a certain blue that the copier can't pick up...<br />

<b> I found this article at Iconoclasticwriter.com. It spells out a pretty simple blueprint for a fiction story arc. I'm not reporting on much really... Still just desearching. But yeah, Carolyns site is a great resource when your focussing much attention on your story's plot and structure. She's got a lot of articles on this subject.</b><br />

I think the key is to not care about your lines, grow some balls and just make everything black... I think for future pics im gonna know from the get go, whats gonna be the big blocks of black. It'll help me sort out the balance between black and white and also I wont be pissing around adding detail to an area when I know its just gonna be all black. ...<br />

Mike Mignola, creator of the Hellboy comics, the man, the legend. Recently I've been drawing a lot of his pictures. I really like his rough confident lines. Not only that, but the way he composes his scenes in his comics. He doesn't detail everything in his pictures and can leave a lot of it hidden in jet black. But still, he can create a complete and immersive scene.<br />
<br />

<br />
Hellboy is all about supernatural mysteries, old folk tales and nazis. His comics are usually influenced by stories he finds in a range of different places and cultures. Like Romania's vampires or voodoo tribes in Africa. It shows that research is an important process of any story. You gotta know your subject matter. And by the amount of detail and variety he has with his architecture and interior design, I'd say he's put the effort in. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
So yeah, lately I've been trying to immitate Mignola and hopefully have some of his amazingness rub off on me. It has surely helped thats for sure! I notice that his bold blacks are not only an effective way of lighting a scene but also an integril part to the balance of the image. A lot of his landscape pictures will have the forground white, then midground black, then will finish off with another section of white. Layers of black and white seem to be an important part of his process. <br />
<br />
Here's an image I copied from Hellboy: The Corpse.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The rocks/graves in the foreground are black, midground white, and background black. Simple bold and contrasting colours. Its something that I love about his art. His simplicity and clarity is something I really wanna copy.<br />
<br />
So here's an original of mine that keeps to my theory of layers of black and white...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-ZoyDZIHlbH8vtFx_LT8_dvLyCWORDBCxEIkrDhHXHb7ekybbnxf6S42E4_FgLLxopJ5YSABjVoJvvBP3FHhIMCYK_JN7QZKgxMjfuI77W6wq1SYdexhtfYbbRSKyntf5yHoUrvTDGJ8/s1600/gas+man.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-ZoyDZIHlbH8vtFx_LT8_dvLyCWORDBCxEIkrDhHXHb7ekybbnxf6S42E4_FgLLxopJ5YSABjVoJvvBP3FHhIMCYK_JN7QZKgxMjfuI77W6wq1SYdexhtfYbbRSKyntf5yHoUrvTDGJ8/s320/gas+man.jpg" width="228" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
When it first came to copying his work it was extremely daunting. There can be so much detail, and most of the time it comes from a couple of loosly drawn shapes of black. With a bit of practice I began to notice a good way to copy his work. I started to simplify his drawings down to sihoettes and from there, look inward to add further detail. Like connecting the lines of Hellboys jacket to his other shoulder, or drawing the individual rocks of a fallen watchtower.<br />
<br />
Below is an image I made that looks pretty complicated, but it started with simple shapes which then got filled with more detail. I found myself constantly referring back to Hellboy comics to see how Mignola inks waves and rocks. I copied this image from a photo in a magazine. <br />
<br />

<br />
And to finish off this Mignola-appreciation-post, i'll put up a link to one of his scenes where Hellboy is fighting some crazy monster. Mignola's Hellboy is an example of how amazing a comic can be. His stylistic approach leaves a lot to the imagination while the shots he chooses are clear and accurate to the tone of the story. The dialog is quick and punchy, and his sharp, electrifying lines help to create some really kickars fightscenes.<br />

<br />
And for all those who would like to know what Mignola uses in terms of pens/pencils, here it is:<br /><br /><strong>WHAT PENCILS, PENS, PAPER DOES MIKE USE?</strong><br />Pencil – Staedtler Mars Lumograph – 2H, HB<br />Pen – Staedtler Pigment Liner – 0.1, 0.3<br />Ink – Higgins Black Magic<br />Paper – whatever Dark Horse has been sending him for <br /> years – not too smooth, not too rough<br />

So an important part to any comic is how you approach your text and text bubbles. I think white speech bubbles are the most universal and fitting colour for comics. White is a base colour, everything works with it so your pictures wont clash. Font is another important part. Some comics work well with font that looks like type. Some comics look shit with type and a more freehand look is needed. I've written some speech with my wacom tablet but its really not the most efficiant way to it. What I need to do is create my own font out of that freehand text or go online and find someone who has already used a programe to turn their freehand into a keyboard ready font.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are many great sites that hold a big variety of fonts. It's worth checking them out and just downloading a bunch of free ones. Some you have to pay for, other sites only list free fonts made by good samaritans. Here's a couple of really good sites that should be mentioned. Full of free ones:<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Sound FX fonts (<i>BAM!! CRUNCH!!</i>)</span><br />
<br />
BlamBot.com has a great selection of fx fonts though a lot of them will cost to download. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blambot.com/fonts_sfx.shtml">http://www.blambot.com/fonts_sfx.shtml</a><br />
<br />
Also here are some instructions to install fonts onto your computer (which means that photoshop, illustrator etc. will automatically put them into it's own library of fonts).<br />
<br />
For windows:<br />
<br />
1. press Start > Control Panel<br />
2. Look for the FOnts Icon .. double click on it <br />
3. File > install new font<br />
4. Locate the folder we created .. <br />
5. when u select the folder the screen will start reading the fonts.<br />
6. Press on Select All<br />
7. Press OK .. Vwala .. u have your new fonts on your PC ..<br />
<br />
You usually have to extract a .zip file. Just extract it to a folder you create eg. Tom>fonts and then from there, drag the extracted open type font files, or truetype font files (.ttf, .otf) into the 'Font' file found in the control panel. <br />

With the success of handheld multimedia devices like the ipad, everything from books to boardgames are being transformed into digital for this new era of ipad technology. I personally love my Ipod touch. It rules. I can go to the app store and download anything I want. And with the emergence of microtransations its a really profitable market as well. But I find it really refreshing and meditative to take a break from all this new crazy awesome digital crap and go outside and read a book in the sun. Ya know? Like they used to do in the good old days. And I think after this wave of media digitalization has swept through, people will go back to old formats. Because not only can they take a break and get lost in a good read, they can take a break from a fucking computer screen. <br />
<br />
So I'm pretty keen to create this comic traditionally as a book because it is a format I have come to understand and I believe it works perfectly fine. In saying that, there are some really awesome and inventive webcomics out there where the creator has taken advantage of the computer screen. Comics definately are evolving. Here are some really cool webcomics:<br />
<br />
(aaaaah the comic I wanted to show wont load)...fail (will put up later)<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is a talk by Scott mcCloud, a comicbook artist who has also written some amazingly helpful books called 'Understanding Comics' and 'Making Comics'. They are honestly a must if you wanna learn about all there is to learn about comics. He's really open minded about the artform and has experience as a professional comic book artist. A real GC. Check out his talk he does for ted.com<br />

"The original piece was done on gray paper with Microns, brush and copic grey markers... the rain and highlights were whiteout pen, and a white prismacolor pencil .... I couldn't resist tweaking it a bit in Photoshop and adding a bit of blood and slight glow to the rain!"<br />

Craig Venter made headlines when he and his team at the J. Craig Venter Institute created "synthetic life". Basically what they did is made their own sequence for a genome. This genome was implanted into a single celled organism which could then begin to replicate like any living creature does.<br />

<br />
Fact: Science can now custom design organisms!<br />
<br />
Combining that sort of discovery with genetic engineering quickly leads me on to thinking that we are soon gonna be able to design more complex organisms. Get the DNA code of a bat, put it with a cat, and not only do their names rhyme but that batcat will have sonar! (bad example, but imaging extracting the quality that makes a tiger massive and chucking it in a house cat. It would keep growing until it was huge. I doubt the science is as simple as that but the concept can't be far off!<br />
<br />
With this new technology, made a reality by Craig Ventor it could be possible to make not only domestic tigers but giant freaking spiders and lizards. Even a..dragon.. <br />
<br />
Technology cannot be underestimated. It is growing at exponential rates. A fact that sees predicting the future pretty futile. One thing for sure is that computers are getting faster at an ever increasing rate. This is explained and expanded in a story done in TIME Magazine called 2045: The Year Man Becomes Immortal. It has many predictions by Ray Kurzweil, a scientist who was awarded the Medal of Technology by Bill Clinton. He talks about the emergence of A.I (yes thats right, robots) and<span class="lingo_region"> according to his calculations, the end of human civilization as we know it is about 35 years away... </span><br />

I think its due to a number of reasons. Its incredibly slow. And considering all I'm trying to do is immitate a real ink pen - it seems pretty wierd to put up with it. Also, because I can zoom in and out whenever I like while working on the line art, I don't get a true focal point. When your drawing on a real piece of paper, you can tell what distance the paper is suppose to be viewed at. Its usually about a foot and a half away. This means I know, when I'm drawing people or things in the distance, that they are not going to be that recognisable. So simplifying those things down into more obvious shapes helps with clarity and brings out the REAL focal point. Which is usually in the foreground.<br />
<br />
The problem with inking on paper. Is when you f**k it up. You f**k it up. I have yet to find a good twink that doesn't effect the texture and bleed of the pen when you draw overtop.<br />
<br />
When it comes to doing the colour, nothing beats digital. Hands down. Turn around. On the ground. Charlie Brown. So what I've been doing is drafting in photoshop on my wacom tablet:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFpJ1CbH84F9MSbMk_MDCG193tYdNAlOWnCnp9sAyhGsKVS6RrbuUbKj1pgBuYkIwGQblndi1-9RbLHUuhk1eGuXqOuDJYlWuY7TpiBY5TYlfuoapUI7POm1U-EWg9xSWsa2NqGfnYbuaq/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFpJ1CbH84F9MSbMk_MDCG193tYdNAlOWnCnp9sAyhGsKVS6RrbuUbKj1pgBuYkIwGQblndi1-9RbLHUuhk1eGuXqOuDJYlWuY7TpiBY5TYlfuoapUI7POm1U-EWg9xSWsa2NqGfnYbuaq/s320/3.jpg" width="207" /></a></div><br />
Then printing it out (dulled down), Drawing over top with a 'Stabilo Permanent pen. (size 's' I think) and a Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen ('s' as well) then scanning it back in.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSsri1MET8l0msR4dZ2xfk63d3YtE50ugYF3FGJb1DBqNqWLQIr1-2F_I86v3TqDVGSKxtoxJFKqcCnJILlcSUpqdGpcWmlk3XBz9ghhV8mTjSH3eUFkpeQEUl43ryMnqEZ6vXexDgiA16/s1600/3+%2528just+the+line%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSsri1MET8l0msR4dZ2xfk63d3YtE50ugYF3FGJb1DBqNqWLQIr1-2F_I86v3TqDVGSKxtoxJFKqcCnJILlcSUpqdGpcWmlk3XBz9ghhV8mTjSH3eUFkpeQEUl43ryMnqEZ6vXexDgiA16/s320/3+%2528just+the+line%2529.jpg" width="206" /></a></div>For colouring, I bump up the whites as much as I can to get rid of the black (something that has not been that successful so far). Setting the layer to 'multiply' then colour underneath (using a number of layers).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJOEe4Fp8u21ejCdKPW8uqXKCVrw1SnUBnK2fv-3U8pt9ueOBNltq6TbBp_e5w9j1UqqtX7SflwfM9LKTctyuEinn3PP576D2JX7juyVDS3FmeprDihph1Oj_oWx4iZXl_emA7SkChe0GA/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJOEe4Fp8u21ejCdKPW8uqXKCVrw1SnUBnK2fv-3U8pt9ueOBNltq6TbBp_e5w9j1UqqtX7SflwfM9LKTctyuEinn3PP576D2JX7juyVDS3FmeprDihph1Oj_oWx4iZXl_emA7SkChe0GA/s320/3.jpg" width="206" /></a></div><br />
With photoshop, you have unlimited range of colours to use. But I think it is better to limit your pallet. I used to re-use a lot of colours but just change them subtly. But I don't think this is the best. I like colour, but if your gonna have something nearing the same colour as something else, they may as well share that exact colour. I think it just looks...cleaner.<br />
<br />
Also, this process didn't take that long. I did the Inking and colouring for these 3 in about 7 hours.<br />

An amazing illustrator and comic artist. With a lot of his work, he uses felt pen on bristol board. My guess is that he would make the physical drawing a lot larger than the standard 6x9 inch comic page. He would then scan the lined drawing into photoshop, then digitally colour it. Creating illustrations on a large scale seems to be a great advantage when your wanting to get smooth endless lines.<br />
<br />
Here's a link to an interview with him and the other co-creators of Blue Spear, which is apparently a pretty kick ars comic, so I might have to get it..<br />

Potentially, you could gain so much exposure. There are over 200million searches a day on the known search sites let alone the countless blogs and sites that are being scanned through. The internet is epic. If you don't exist on the net, you really don't exist at all.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So I've found this website called<a href="http://comicblogelite.com/"> comicblogelite.com</a>. It's great. Its lists a massive database of comic blogs. The blogs at the top are the most frequently viewed and I've just registered my blog so set up some kind of spam bot that keeps looking at my site! Nah thats pretty hard out, I don;t expect you to do that. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But yeah, I need to start roaming other peoples blogs and become their networking buddies. I need to get some comic blog friends. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
