As an exercise now and then I like to take a scene from a movie and sketch it out as a comic page. This time, I went way beyond a sketch, though not a full page. And I worked from actual movie stills instead of recomposing shots. I took 4 stills from the movie, shrunk, skewed and arranged them in a panel format that looked good to me (kind of went for what Miller did a lot in the book, big panels with little ones across the bottom), then went from there. I had just watched 300 whenever I started this, and this has always been one of my favorite scenes/moments, though it's a quieter one. I still don't consider myself much of a colorist, but maybe Mr Plinkett will appreciate those Eeeearth tooones (mostly borrowed from Lynn Varley's colors from the graphic novel). Manga Studio inks, Photoshop colors, Manga Studio again for the lettering.
Mee has inspired me (lol) to work harder on my drawings so I will one day be able to draw as freely and flawlessly in the comic book style. great stuff in this thread man!
Yeah me too, it was really refreshing (for lack of a better word, cause I always love drawing) to draw a character I'd never done and know hardly anything about.
New stuff
About 2 weeks' worth of doodles at work, plus Manga Studio inks/colors over one of the sketches
