Hi, everybody!I have been considering Revelation ch. 9 and the beast described there: Men with the faces of lions, stingers, etc. I got to thinking of them as men in some sort of combat suit. Has anybody here ever done an illustration based on that verse?
Read more…Hey, everybody.I'm hoping you can give me some input. I need a model for my hero's love interest for my illustrator to reference. I see her as a cheerleader type: blond, blue-eyed, healthy figure. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks and God Bless You.
Read more…I really like drawing and painting, but I also find that the other hobbies I do influence my work. For example, playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf has given me some great ideas for art and stuff (see below) What about you guys?WIP.png
Read more…Hi, I'm pretty new to this site, so forgive me if I do or say anything wrong. I'm an artist (I mostly paint) and I really want to make a comic of my own, and I have tons of ideas. However, in the past, it seemed like when I got inspired to make something, I would burn out and get bored of it before I even finished the first chapter. How do you stay inspired to stick with it?

Greetings,believers.I joined this site almost 2 years ago with the intention of meeting other christian comic artists to fellowship and share knowledge and stories about our mutual profession.
I've been extremely disappointed at the results.Not only have I've not been able to connect with other artists but I find this site to be extremely void of any activity among it's members.Perhaps I'm wrong but I've tried to contact people here just to get the ball rolling but I get no responses from anyone nor do I see any updates from other artists on their profiles.
What is going on here? Are there any connections to be made or not? Where is everyone that I see are members? Am I doing something wrong? I don't understand how we call ourselves Christians and yet we don't even congregate on something as convenient as a website!! Please advise....
Indie Comics Magazine Editor Gary Scott Beatty recently announced K.J. (Kurt) Kolka's long-running comic strip The Cardinal will appear in an eight page story in the new comic book, scheduled for preorder in Diamond Comic Distributors' January 2011 Previews catalog and available only through Previews. The Cardinal began as a college strip in 1978.
"Kurt has a strong regional following and has been known in Michigan for over 30 years," said Beatty. "We're happy to show the rest of the world this popular indy strip." Indie Comics Magazine is 64 pages of the best story and art from today's independent comic book creators.
The Cardinal is the story of a group of people living in a fictitious university town whose lives are touched by an ordinary young man who believes he has been called to be a super hero. Kolka began dealing with real life social issues, the difficulties facing people and crime in this college strip in 1978. It ran as a regional print publication from 1990 to 2006 and debuted online at comicssherpa.com in 2007. Two live action film adaptions of the strip were released in 2004 and 2007.
Looking at Kolka's straight forward, retro art style, it's no surprise he lists comic influences from famous adventure strips like Mandrake the Magician, The Phantom, Annie and Dick Tracy.
"At its core, The Cardinal strip is about a man who sees people needing help and, unlike many of us, does not turn away," Beatty explained. "Kurt uses Golden Age super hero conventions and spiritual themes to pull this off in the strip, and it works with an emotional intensity not often found in comic books today."
Each issue of the new Indie Comics Magazine will feature eight full stories from eight different independent comic book creators, said Beatty. Short biographies and contact information are included with the stories so readers can easily seek out more of the creators' work. Full color strips of The Cardinal are online to view at TheCardinal.org.

Indie Comics Magazine Editor Gary Scott Beatty recently announced nationally known cartoonist Tom Kelly will write and illustrate an eight page story titled Shadows of the Forest in the new comic book, scheduled for preorder in Diamond Comic Distributors' January 2011 Previews catalog and available only through Previews. The done-in-one tale features Kelly's character The Savage Samurai.
Kelly's children's web comic "The Stuffed Animal Sagas" appeared on DC comics' website ZUDA.com. "Indie Comics Magazine is 64 pages of the best story and art from today's independent comic book creators," said Beatty. "We're doing in print what DC attempted online: giving greater exposure to talented indy creators. And Tom's work is just phenomenal."
Kelly has produced graphic design and illustration for numerous design, production and toy companies, such as Spin Master Toys, Rittenhouse Archives, Topps, Hasbro, EA Sports, Wizards of the Coast and Mattel. His illustrations have appeared in Black Petals magazine, Star Wars Insider, Imagine Fx, Design Graphics, Tales of the Talisman, Thrasher, Wired and Time Out Chicago magazine.
The Chicago based artist has also designed posters and promotional art for Chicago bands Daemon Familiar, Unibrow and Moses Gun.
"Tom's style is beautifully balanced and intricate, with graceful line work," Beatty gushed. "We're very lucky to have him in the new Indie Comics Magazine." Kelly has won several awards, including the Wayne Wright Key for Excellence and the Pennsylvania Keystone Silver Seal.
Each issue of the new comic will feature eight full stories from eight different independent comic book creators, said Beatty. Short biographies and contact information are included with the stories so readers can easily seek out more of the creators' work. Kelly accepts commissions through http://tommm9.daportfolio.com.

Indie Comics Magazine Editor Gary Scott Beatty announced today that a Marcus Boas painting will appear on the first issue of the new comic book, scheduled for preorder in Diamond Comic Distributors' January 2011 Previews catalog and available only through Previews.
From paperback book covers to movie posters to Heavy Metal magazine, Marcus Boas has been leaving his mark on sword and sorcery illustration since the 1970s. Boas' style is defined by a skill and tension reminiscent of the pulp magazines and movie posters of the '40s and '50s.
"Indie Comics Magazine is 64 pages of the best story and art from today's independent comic book creators," said Beatty. "It's only fitting that an illustrator with such a long history of impressive genre painting should appear on the cover of our new book."
Just out of art school, Boas painted for Calvin Beck, publisher of Castle of Frankenstein magazine. Influenced by Frank Frazetta and Jim Steranko, Boas illustrated fantasy, adventure, romance and Western paperbacks, and Kung Fu movie posters. Comic book conventions in the '70s and'80s brought him comic book cover work.
Boas is particularly adept at depicting strong, gorgeous females, as on the premiere Indie Comics Magazine cover. Each issue of the comic will feature eight full stories from eight different independent comic book creators, said Beatty. Short biographies and contact information are included with the stories so readers can easily seek out more of the creators' work.
Boas posters and prints, and his latest book, "Enter the Worlds of Heroic Fantasy - Paintings by Marcus Boas" is available at KasoComics.com.
