Imagine you're flying through space. You see stars and all the galaxies passing you... suddenly you're at the edge of space. There is nothing there but a white emptiness, then you see a shape! It's a cube floating in front of you. On that cube is a…
"Cheryl my sister,
you have been misinformed,
Many great comics are done exactly in the way that you want to do them...
The secret is to make sure that when you scan the artwork that the settings that you use (either RGB or CMYK) are giving you an…"
"Hi Eric!
I received an E-mail having to do with joining the Alpha Omega zine and am interested in joining. I have a project in the works that I think would be suitable for publication and would very much like both the chance to show it and to gain…"
"The one thing that I use channels for are colour holds... the device that can change B&W linework into another shade so that the objects stand up for certain special effects. I'll give you some examples from my own work."
"My advice to this is that everyone has this problem at first. What you need to do is follow a formula that keeps your attention on each step as you go. You need to begin with the chest, then, hips, then, legs, then arms and then the head. At each…"
"I've always had trouble with compulsively alternating back and forth with which of the overlapping shapes is on top...usually when it's the classic transparent squares trick where the outlines aren't filled in but it creeps in all over the place of…"
"Just thought I would add a step by step look at the creation of a title page for a comic using the method I wrote about above. First is my small sketch, about 8.5"X5.5". Then my finished pencils done on a light table over the blow up sketch.…"
"There seem to me to be at least two points to be covered in this discussion:
First, the "secrets" to Alex Ross' painting style, second the lighting of an image or entire picture.
Ross uses a very well established illustration technique... He draws…"
"I mostly use a technique that I learned from Neal Adams and Rich Buckler. I take a regular sheet of printer paper and fold it into quarters then rule a 1/4 inch section down the centre of the page in order to create the proportions of a regular…"
"I am intensely confused by this thread... Each media has its pros and cons, I attempt to employ the media to the situation of its use, based on my ability with the tool or tools and the result that I desire."
"I'll start this reply with a clarification of what I discerne as style. There is a part of style that derives itself from an artist making choices consciously in order to achieve results that enforce his/her vision of the images that tell the story…"
"Truly a broad-based question!!
The main thing that I believe you need to remember is that a comic or novel is a story, hopefully with a point of view. Each part has its own disciplines and its own areas of knowledge that helps to convey that story.…"
Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new Board members. I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS! If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let me and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site. We'll be making several announcements in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.
Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
Just a look at some of my Illustration and a comic book that deals with the adventures of "Will Black" during the end times scenerio...
Hope you enjoy!!
Welcome to the CCAS. Needless to say that Alex Toth and Mike Golden are two of my favorites. I pray that you find some great fellowship with us. Looking forward to knowing more about you. The Lord bless you.
