Not the most pleasing piece of art. But god can he tell a story. I love his indies.

There's this guy who's working for Marvel, Brian Bendis, who started out as an artist. His work looks like this: http://ifanboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/jinx1.jpg

Yeah. That guy's designs do hold up don't they? That red motorcycle is iconic!

This is why I find guys like Katsuhiro Otomo so amazing. In Akira he tells a good story while having great perspective, good anatomy, cool SF designs, etc.

Yeah, sequential art combines both storytelling and drawing, that's two skills!

30 Jun 18:37

John

And there are not so technically sound artists who can tell a beautiful story.

30 Jun 18:36

John

Here's the thing about comics. You can be technically sound in art, (perfect anatomy, super nice colors and lighting, etc) but if you can't tell a story, you have failed as a sequential artist. I've seen a lot of really good artists working for the big two and fail on delivering a story.

But I know the self flagellation feeling. It's good to a point, but don't let it become a hindrance!

Or something, I dunno how you cook meat! XD

30 Jun 18:32

Mechanizoid

Sort of like saying that the turkey was cooked right but you didn't stuff it right

30 Jun 18:32

Mechanizoid

Not really, the drawing was pretty good but the sequential aspect was confused.

30 Jun 18:30

John

--

Haha! I'll stop self flagellating.. It's just I'm just extra hard on myself when it comes to sequential art. I take all opinions seriously.

That's like saying, "Overall, the steak dinner was nice, but the steak sucked."

Mechanizoid

Well, maybe not "always", but when you are learning it feels that way!!

30 Jun 18:25

Mechanizoid

But still, I got a pretty good idea of what was happening. :-) There's always something to improve!

30 Jun 18:25

Mechanizoid

@John I thought you did a nice job in your comic overall, except for the confusion with understanding the story.

30 Jun 18:17

John

Oh dude. You and Dan both. I sat through it, there were so much techniques to be taken in that video.

I was trying to be too clever about it that I forgot to serve what's important, which is the story.
