I 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.

( All of the art )

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!

Ink wash version of the HCL pic from last time. Some things I like more, some things I like less.

My homework for this week was to pencil a page which I'm then going to have to ink (still in ink wash).

So, the deal with this class is that we have to do comic pages for each of the styles we learn (ink wash, spot black with brush, precise b&w with pen linework a la manga, etc.) So, the pages we do won't add up to a cohesive whole, except perhaps a few multimedia pages at the end. I'm thinking of doing one- to three-page excerpts from several different fics, since it would look weird to keep switching styles in the same comic. The sad part is that I can't commit to working on a nice, long, finished project. Of course, it also frees me up to do teasers from longer fics than I might normally attempt. :)

Fun game: Identify the source material I'm using for this first assignment! Hint: I am now totally, officially this author's creepy internet stalker.

I know a couple of authors who have already indicated to me that I'm free to use their work for comic-ing. If I stray into other authors, though, it would be polite to seek permission before I fan-art their work, right? Or at least before I post it?

Here's some homework I did for my shiny new Inking Comics class (pencil drawings from photographs; presumably we'll be doing something like this in ink wash next).

First up, because I love to draw faces, the much-iconned HCL smoking Hugh-Dillon-wolfpack-of-two-ring-prominent Johnny-Depp-eyes Tiger Beat Billy Tallent shot.

Discussion question relevant to HCL: I know there's a moment there where Joe is jokingly/really upset about something Billy has done and he says "That's not buddies," but does Ray ever say this dS? I have seen it a lot of times in fanfic in the last like three days!

Next, because I hate to draw cars (ugh the difference in quality makes that evident), another sketch of the GTO. I didn't save the reference photo I used for the multi-fandom mix and match kit, but I got the feeling while drawing this that I was using the same one? Or maybe all pictures of black 1967 Pontiac GTOs LOOK THE SAME.

Discussion question relevant to the GTO: What's the origin of the nickname "The Goat"? I have seen it in 2 different fanfics by 2 different authors but I don't remember it in canon.
