zelempaI just finished my last assignment to turn in to my final comic book inking class tomorrow, and instead of sleeping, here is a round-up post of all of my Due South-related work from this class.
American Way by
American lessons (brush)
You Just Have To Leap by
Adapted from climactic battle scene (pen with bowl/lettering nib)
Chicago's Most Wanted by
Page 1 (ink wash)
First confrontation scene page 1: draft 1 (pen and limited ink wash)
First confrontation scene complete (pen and brush)
Because of the hard-lights-and-darks nature of that last scene, and because I'd basically penciled it that way anyway, I decided to do this in straight-up blacks and whites. Sure, it's in a different style from page one, but there's a theoretical justification (they're in different continuities! flashback could be black and white! because, you know, opposites side of the law? and in the present day, they have more, um, moral shades of gray? or something?) Or I could just pick a style and go with it. I still really like my ink wash page 1, but it took so long! And I'm still pretty sure half of what's good about it is dumb luck.
ETA: Before I forget: now that class is over and I won't be getting any more critiques, should I want to continue any of these projects (or something similar), would anybody be willing and able to be an art beta? Basically, you would look at my pencilled versions of the comics and tell me, "Too many close-ups, I don't remember where in space they ARE" or "Too rushed--put fewer words in each panel," or "That doesn't look like Ray," or "That doesn't look like a human hand," or "I don't understand what's happening right here," or anything else that you think can be fixed, before I commit anything to ink. Let me know!
