Because I saw one hadn't been made yet.

I've started a new Webcomic on Tumblr. Here's the 'introductory' page...

I've started it mostly because I've realised I'll only improve my artistic style if I have to force myself to work on something every single week. So I don't expect it'll be very good at first. But there's always hope.

My mantra for 2013 is to aim for quality over quantity - in work, in possessions, to take time to really enjoy things. Happy New Year everyone. And here's hoping Remake/Remodel returns soon!

Good to see this thread start just as strong as the last one finished.
@kosmograd, your hope is my hope. Speaking of which, I have some R/R leftovers:

Judge Dredd

Last Stand at the Playboy Mansion (Hollywood Crossed)

The Olympic Flame

Happy new year everyone.

I'm hoping to cultivate a longterm working relationship with an artist this year who could ink pencils like these:

I was asked to do a comic for a local magazine, and it's up on their website now so I'll post it here as well. I had to make this happen at the same time as my finals for last semester, so I still have a hard time looking at it without wishing I'd spent more time, but it'll do.

@NeilFord - Why ruin these pencils? You should be looking for a colorist, instead.

ARTISTS' THREAD (January 2013)

2013-01-04T13:47:35-08:00

@Iaviv - 2nd person to tell me that. Starting to wonder... a mate told me there are a few folk not using 'inks' nowadays, just scanning lineart from pencils. Might give it a go... hmmm.

ARTISTS' THREAD (January 2013)

2013-01-04T14:39:08-08:00

@NeilFord: Unless you can get someone with crazy hatching skills, I would also vote to see how those look darkened up and colored.

ARTISTS' THREAD (January 2013)

2013-01-04T18:10:23-08:00

@Neil - I'll third that, I can't see that shading translating well into black ink. Some good colouring though, now that could set it on fire.
Me, I've got this for just now. Some shiny new prints hopefully due in a week or so, now that there's no food left in the house and I'm free to draw instead.

Kids' t-shirt that is my latest Etsy piece

@Ryan S Thomason Haa -- Cool. I'd wear that. am i a kid? maybe....

@PaulSizer @Neil Ford - Might be cool if we throw up some sketches and pencils and let the other finish it up..... maybe....possibly....

Speaking of Pencils and sketches. I have a lil sketch club. We decided our challenge would be Emma Frost ( and/or) Jack Frost. We usually do a sketch then write a quick paragraph blurb story whatever for it. Here's my scribbles on it so far.

ARTISTS' THREAD (January 2013)

2013-01-05T03:25:01-08:00

Thanks for the input chaps - definately going to rethink this a bit, will do some colour tests and see what happens. Cheers my dears! :D

Is this an online thing, or a flesh-and-blood club?

ARTISTS' THREAD (January 2013)

2013-01-05T06:01:10-08:00

@afua, that's awesome!

ARTISTS' THREAD (January 2013)

2013-01-05T09:23:17-08:00

@NeilFord: It's a tricky balance with the scanned pencils thing, because I LOVE a solid clean inked line (DUH, REALLY PAUL? COULDN'T TELL???). Joe Mad has been having people just color his pencils, but those always look just half-done rather than intentional, as well as smacking of being in love with one's pencils. Or being terminally late on a book. : )

I hardly ever pencil tight because I'm always inking my own stuff.

For the "inked" stuff you've posted before (I'm assuming it was inked, and by you?), that looks amazing, but I gotta think it's massively time-consuming for that level of detail.

@Afua: Great body language on those figures. Nice lines also, even as loose pencils.

ARTISTS' THREAD (January 2013)

2013-01-05T10:29:01-08:00

@Neil Ford _ yay welcome aboard!

I want to make it a flesh n blood club once i move back to Atlanta. hire models and make pie...yeah. pie. and mojitos. I'm good at those. I'l probably do a lil video or something maybe even have a Skype in session but that's when i get fancier.

@CaratheWalton - Thank you ma'am!

@Paul Sizer ^___^ thanks darlin!

@Kmcleod _ its in my fb group. I'm building out the lil thingie on my site so people can contribute independently of the fb beast.

What i plan on doing is have people vote on random topics to mash up then we have one month to create a single image or panel and a short written blurb. I'm working on the best of them being published to disinfo's front page with a link to sketch club and a link to the artist's site. but i'm putting all that together now. In the mean time we just draw stuffs and help one another get better where we can. I can post whatever topic we do here too if you like! or just start up a new thread ;] but i like it in here. its cozy...

ARTISTS' THREAD (January 2013)

2013-01-05T11:09:54-08:00

@Paul - yes 'speed/time' is the thing, I could really do with a hand! :) I've never had anyone ink my stuff before, pro mates have advised to do tight pencils for a 3rd party to ink - at least until they are more familiar with how you work - I don't normaly go that tight. I'm also wanting to get away from digital for a bit, the lines I'm producing on my mac look dead as fuck to me currently, really not happy with them. A sprinkling of serendipitous analogue splashiness may just be what's needed?

That said, missing out the inking, going drectly to paint is attaractive. Save me paying an inker too... kerching! :)

I recently learned Frank Quietly only did pencils for all his batman stuff, no inks. I went back for a gander and couldn't really tell [...or didn't care, still loved the books.] Shall experiment with the scanner, see what can be done.

@Afua - You likey? I've got a few medium women's shirts I haven't printed up yet if you have a few dollars you don't need any more ;). Actually the XL kid's shirt is for a 32" chest, which is the same as a women's small. Confusing eh?

@JackCrowder - very nice way to start off the new year!

@Ryan S Thomason Nope nope i gotcha. That might be a lil small for me tho. I'm a true 36. ( but being like 5'10 that's not to bad ;] ) Might Hulk smash outta that thing. is it a stretchy cotton? maybe i can squeeeeeze.

ARTISTS' THREAD (January 2013)

2013-01-05T14:23:45-08:00

@Afua it might be a bit of a squeeze, medium is a 34" fruit of the loom ladyfit if that's any use? If not I can email you next time I'm ordering and sort it out then?

ARTISTS' THREAD (January 2013)

2013-01-05T14:25:31-08:00

OK, apologies because this sucks, but I wanted to try and ink part of Neil Ford's piece he posted.
As stated, I don't really ink other people's stuff at all.
IT'S HARD.
Mostly because I've seen the work he does, and it's amazing.
A few caveats... 1. I only invested about a 1/2 hour on this, 2. I inked it to eventually have a colorist do some of the gradients and 3. My feathering skills are really bad. You can see where I was doing some cross-hatch testing on the bottom right edge of the figure
I included some of the tone edge lines in the inks for having an edge, eventually to soften them up in coloring.
I did this in MangaStudio with a Zebra G-style nib.

So yeah, meh for my "ability to ink Neil Ford" skills. Still think the direct pencils to color thang might yield some awesomeness.

Great work here to start off the new year!
@ imaginary- luv the bug
@ fishelle - what a strange and wonderful peice of depressing comics. hope to see more of these
@neil ford- great expression. Adam Kubert did a bunch of awesome pencil w/color stuff on the incredible Hulk maybe between issues 450-460 that where always the highlights of that book for me, I think your work would do well with the technique.
@mojo-prolific as always! my fav is the crazy red guy with the beard in the last post.

Ok, had a pop at omiting the inks stage, painting directly from the pencils... I think it will work. Clearly overworked this a bit, but with care I think quite sensitive art will be possible. Hmmmm.

As I'm a better painter than inker, this may well be the way to go. Thanks so much for everyones input on this, I really appreciate it - it's helped me work a lot of stuff out, cheers my dears.

@NeilFord - The color work you've been dropping on top of your pencils is beautiful.

I've been following this thread the past few days, watching the advice and work on your piece, and been silent up to now because basically what everyone said was true - and your response proved it. Nuff said.

ARTISTS' THREAD (January 2013)

2013-01-07T11:35:00-08:00

@NeilFord - Yeah, these two coloured drawings are absolutely stunning. Is it too much work or would you want your drawings painted like this anyway (if they were inked, that is)? I can't really paint digitally so this always looks impossible to me.

ARTISTS' THREAD (January 2013)

2013-01-07T13:16:59-08:00

Thanks for the kind words guys, very much appreciated! @Iaviv - well, the problem is I'm not a very good inker, and by 'good' I mean fast & confident. Which is a pity, because I really like the dynamism of ink - I was always going to paint the work, and thought an inker art buddy would be the just thing to speed things up a bit. It still may be... depends on the nature of the narritive I arrive at I guess, but I'm pleased with these tests, and it's way quicker than me/3rd party inking and then colouring.

Speedwise, from pencils to finished , this latest one was about and hour. Gota luv the digital paint, no mess to clean up!

@ ChrisG- this is my favorite from you in a long time- I like the sarcastic but not purposefully offensive bleakness here

I posted some big monster drawings here earlier this month and the exhibition they were a part of got featured on the Space Channel ( a Toronto sci-fi tv station, I don't know if it exists elsewhere but it is pretty cool).

I love that Nick Cave portrait!! It is Cave, right? :) And also the face of the girl in the comic panel.

Love your style, StarGazer! Puts me in mind of 70s and 80s indie comics. :)

Holy crap, my account here still exists!

And holy crap, you're all still a bunch of totally awesome bastards!

I've been pretty prolific art-wise in the past month; 2013 is shaping up to be the getting-my-shit-together year.

JP Stargazer- love your style, is the top one colored with colored pencil?
HEY APATHY!- that comic looks awesome. i like how a gun is coming out of the deers mouth in the last panel.

I just got a new tablet and the artrage program so I have been playing around with that.

John Lennon, George Harrison, and Death

This one took forever and had quite a few false starts.
Private commission from late last year. Actually managed to forget about it between applying coats of fixative.

Finished my wee 4 pager for UK small press title 'The Psychedelic Journal of Time Travel', off to the letterer now... I learnt ALOT on this, a few strengths & many weaknesses to work on.

Doodling and doodling for fanzine stuff while the time of me getting access to a shared workshop instead of keeping the kitchen table eternally cluttered crawls closer and closer, ever so slowly. A chance at making actual, large scale artwork and selling it for the first time since I finished school, or to find out once and for all that I should be doing something other than art. Putting it like that, I'm kinda beginning to dread it.

@imaginary: it's coloured with crayons. A plain old little box of 10 kid's crayons a friend gave me for her son's birthday. :D
