"Dear Casey:
Given the nature of the story, maybe you could take direction from the jobs He did during His ministry. For example, Jesus was a carpenter by profession as well as a Rabbi. It might be interesting to have a Christ figure as a woodcarver…"
"Perhaps you could read Cervantes' works 'Don Quixote' and Man of LaMancha', which deal with the same situation, a man who thinks he is a knight and his friend who is aware of the real situation. Cervantes used his character to critique the society…"
"It might be interesting to show Him talking and dealing with people on the beach. The book of Mark seemed to focus on Christ's seashore sermons and Christ walking on the water would resonate well with surfers. If you placed Him in a locale like…"
"Hi Casey. If you can you should send a copy over the wire to the forum. (Provided that is not breaking any rules!) I have a small comic strip I run on occassion. I'd love to see others.
As for my profile picture. Long story there. I work in a…"
"Buzz Dixon said:Ray Bradbury in his book ZEN IN THE ART OF WRITING offers some helpful advice: Just start writing up a list of all the words associated with your central idea and let that spark ideas.
"Thanks for your help, Tim, in fact I use the whole "errent kinght complete with stumbling sidekick and ne'er do badly attitude" a lot. The main character is all about courage and arrogance. To answer your questions, the comic is a typical 8" by 11",…"
"A lot of possibilities here. My first question is the space involved. Is this a panel comic? (Sounds like it is. Three panels, five?) My second, is how often is this going to be published? By your description the tone sounds more comical than…"
"OH MY GOSH!! I get all excited, reading that. The flow is so perfect, and I can read it so easily. Now I want to know what happens...I find action scenes to be difficult to lay out because it is so important to build the suspense and emphasize…"
"Just so everyone knows, I've been checking this disscussion every day, and following the advice posted here. My buildings have drasticly improved so far, so THANK YOU very much to everyone. Please continue posting, as I still love to get advice and…"
"It sounds to me like you have an understanding of perspective, and what it takes to draw a building; but that what you are looking for is a way to make the buildings come to life.
I find it helpful to think of a building or background as a…"
"I have something of a tough time with this too. The think that helps me most is remembering to create parts of the buildings or other elements in the piece that give it scale. Something where our mind has a ballpark figure of how big that object…"
"Hey, just because I do homework doesn't mean I don't draw in school! I nearly got a C in Algebra because I was constantly sketching in my agenda (where I should have been writing my homework down...) As for sounding smart, I just read a lot, and…"
"Thank you so much for your comment. It made me laugh, which is always a good thing. I'm glad you like my work, and I promise to keep it up if you will. :)"
"David Chelsea's book: Perspective! For Comic Book Artists: How to Achieve a Professional Look in Your Artwork---IMO this book has the best presentation of practical perspective for a comic's artist--including a lot of handing shortcuts and tricks."
