The Feat of Nobody, Pencils complete

 

 

Pencils for the Feat of Nobody are complete. I made quite a few changes after getting some great feedback from Lauren Sankovitch, James Lucas Jones, Skottie Young and C.B. Cebulski. They gave really helpful portfolio reviews so I revised as much of the art as I could to fit their suggestions. I think that overall it's a much stronger work than it was before. I'm already 4 pages in on the inks so that post will be up in a few days. I think I really leveled up as far as my figure drawing and staging, although as I was inking a page I'm already aware of areas I can improve on.

There's always room to improve so I'll be striving for improvement with every panel. I hope you enjoyed these pencils and I hope you find my next comic far superior to this one!

The Feat of Nobody Pencils 1, 3-8

These are 7 pages of my 10 page challenge, The Feat of Nobody. Essentially this is the end of the Odyssey but a western, with guns and horses and stuff. I've been working on these steadily but I wanted to post up these versions after having gotten excellent feedback from Skottie Young and C.B. Cebulski. I hope I've addressed the issues they brought up and fixed the inconsistencies in the art.

These are some of the most recent pages I've worked on, and among the best I've ever penciled. I simplified my system and now I've cut my page time down while getting the same level of rhythm and action as I get in my sketchbook people drawings. I'm proud with how these have turned out.

I have 3 more pages to pencil, I'll try to get them done for this weekend where I'll receive portfolio reviews from James Lucas Jones and Lauren Sankovitch. I'll do my best!

Calla of the Sea colors

In my spare time between classes I've been working on coloring Calla of the Sea. Compared to the work I did in my digital coloring class at SCAD, I think I've gotten a lot better at rendering and color choices. It definitely helps when you draw figures and objects with a definite volume, which I didn't really grasp at the time I took the class.

I think this is a positive step in the direction of being acceptable in all the areas of comic making. Now to see if I can keep it up. Also thanks to all of my SCAD friends who gave me advice on coloring these pages. You guys really helped me push it further than I thought I was pushing it.

Also I don't remember if I mentioned this when I posted the inks, but I made this comic for SEQAPunch's comic anthology and it was chosen as one of the featured comics in the book! Check out their site: http://www.seqapunch.com/index.php and maybe get a copy of the anthologies!
