Syn's Scratch Pad

Evening Ladies and Gents.

After wracking my brain trying to flesh out my comic concept. I've finally come up with my first character design.

It's kinda hard out of context to really critique it. but i hope people like where this is heading:

Hey guys. I know it's been awhile.
Here's an update on my Rogue piece. Haven't had time to finish it. Hope you guys are at least enjoying the progress.

I've currently got a 5 week final assignment for my college program. Think of it like a thesis. I've essentially gotta choose an art form and do it. implementing all the things i've learned. and stepping up my game. So i'm going to be creating a comic. I've come up with my idea. and am currently working on character designs. as i finish things, i'll be posting for some feedback. If anyone knows comics, it's this place.

Until next time,
Rock on guys.

loving the progress here! cant wait for the final.

Thanks Matt. Might be waiting awhile. For the next 5 weeks i'm going to be pretty much putting my artistic skills to the test making a full 24 page comic, which will be the pilot for a (at least) 5 comic arc i've got floating in my head. If the first one is well received, i'll continue.

Please feel free to add input on character and world designs that I put up. as well as the comic itself that i'll be posting as I get it finished. Rock on boys and girls.

... Glad to have you back, Mattchew.

Hope you like it.

Hey guys. Had to take a break from comic stuff for a second.
here's a terribly fast sketch (10 minutes?) of supergirl. I just realized I forgot the logo. Oh well. I might revisit it later. Hope you guys dig it.

this is really nicely drawn. has a beautiful sensitivity to it.

how's the comic coming together? i like the look of the villain but it seems a bit... generic to me. he needs a detail or some equipment or something to make him unique. the hood is pretty cool though!

Hey thanks Phig. It was starting to get lonely in this thread.

The comic is coming together. I've got this week and two more.
So far i've got the scripting done. And the storyboarding almost finished. working on some roughs.

I've kinda flip flopped on liking the look of the villain. I love his hood. I'm even kinda digging his helmet. I do agree that he needs something, though.

His bracer thing flips to be used as a blade, and can shoot blasts of some sort. but i'm still not convinced that's good enough. if you have any suggestions, i'd love to hear them.

As for the Female Character. I love her. metaphorically, and well, literally, since she's based off of my girlfriend. heh.

Thanks for rockin in. :D

yeah, she cool! she looks spunky! and definitely has her own thing going on in the way you need to find something for the villain. as for suggestions on this latter point... i'd love to help if i can, but i think his unique or distinctive feature should really be tied to the plot of the book. what's his deal?
 
nice work dude you should color her I would like to see what kind of color scheme your planning on going with
 
Hrm. I just noticed I hadn't posted this yet. so here's my Syncos Character design.

Oh you :P.


They are looking cool though. I am excited to see them in colour. YAY colour woo.
 
I am with valkyrie, throw some up in color when you get the time I would really like to see them

Thanks man. I'll try and get something up soon.

Y'know. I'm starting to think that deciding to make a comic given a 5 week deadline from concept to execution was a stupid idea. I'm down to 8 days. And i've managed to get through 8 or 9 pages of very loose roughs.

I think i'm royally screwed on this one, boys and girls.
 
Pretty cool designs. Are these for a comic you're starting?

Yeah. In order to complete my college program I had to come up with an independant study. Since its an arts program, I thought a comic might be a good idea. 5 weeks just isn't enough though. I'm feeling a tad overwhelmed.
 
Ah deadlines...yeah, not fun.


Designs do look sweet though. :up:
 
ugh. this is brutal.
Anyway. Here's the first two pages. Please forgive the garbage art. unrealistic deadlines mean rushing.
hope you like:

O.k. dude you caught my interest, post more as soon as you're able I would like to read more and see what happens

Here's where we start to see a huge drop in quality, due to my deadline being in 2 days and having 13 more pages to do!
