hello,I am new to this fellowship, and happy to see such a great collection of creators. I am a pastor and illustrator, working on graphic novel translations of the Old and new Testament. My wife and I recently finished a translation of Jonah,…
Dear friends,I recently had a graphic novel published and I am beginning to line up a book tour which includes signings, discussions and classes using the book. Have any of you done a book tour? If so, how did you go about lining up the schedule?…
"BTW- I am looking forward to seeing your pages- you have had great insight in the work that is being done on this project. Thanks for leading this one!"
"That's a good question. I think that perspective and composition are key to making an image on the page look cinematic, in either a verticle or horizontal page. What makes something cinematic is awareness of the camera angle being used. I think one…"
It has been a busy summer, but things are coming together well. Page 11 is done, but I have not been able to successfully upload it here. Any ideas?
Also I have page 12 inked and will begin coloring it this week.
Regarding timing, I think it would be helpful to see pages that go before. It may be worth posting thumbnails and layouts earlier to help it be collaborative.
Peace…"
"Bob, that is an eye-catching- and truly thought provoking image. It breaks the traditional mold of artistic representations of the story of Jesus and Thomas, and makes you wonder- what if...?

I haven't read the Pride of Baghdad, but I did go look at some of the images online. They're really outstanding. Thanks for letting know about the book and for your compliments.
Hi, Sorry for the slow reply, I have another entry on this group and I tend to use that one! Thanks for the kind words, Enjoyed looking at your own work, very interesting.
I'm glad the Elevated strip gave you a lift! Funny story, that strip: the writer is not a believer and is kind of rough around the edges, yet I felt strongly that the Lord wanted me to work with him. We still maintain a casual connection - mostly through Facebook - and I have no idea where this will lead but I am strangely at peace about it and sense God's hand in a long-view kind of way. Does that make any sense?
I do the coloring on the first century storyline and upto this point, I've brought in other artists to do the 21st century scenes....just so there is be a bit of variance to the look of each time period.
The only exception to this, will be the revised edition I just completed of the first book (where I recolore the whole thing myself)
Hey Earnest,
Thanks for the thoughtfull pointers. I will make the adjustments on the pages. i have just went throught my other pages with a friend who is an english teacher and we are making the adjustments to my pages so it will have a flow to them. I love when others see what i don't,. Make my work much better. God bless... BAP out!!!
Hey Earnest! Thanks for the compliments, and your work rocks too! Great compositions and a real nice drawing style.
Not only that you live in one of my most favorite locations: Willamsburg! My wife and I went there for our honeymoon after our Dec. 20th wedding. Fond memories of an awesome colonial-era town.
Earnest....like your stuff. It has a simplicity of design to it, that's very appealing (I'm a sucker for artists who can use negative space to their advantage)!
