Wanted to stick my oar in. Nice work. The story is a tiny bit cliched, but then, this is a comic-book setting and you've got a nice style for this kind of tale. I'm not a major fan of this art style, except where it fits. I had a drawing of my main done by one of the Draw The World artists and it happened to be similar to your style, but it just worked well for the character, and the same is true for your work here. Nice.

thanks Ravenswing, nice to know someone's looking at it anyway

fourth and final page of the introduction. i've deliberately kept things vague - both the plot and doc d's look, as these pages were just meant as a mood setter. action to come.

page four

page two

page three

thanks very much, nice of you to say so

really no need for that tone is there Donna? Saphi's opinion is just that - an opinion. no more, or less, valid than yours

i'd like to nominate Happy Dan, for this post

following on from this:
sketch one

and this:
sketch two

here follows a more involved look at the doctor's origins, or at least his beginnings in paragon.

as a character, his look is not yet set in stone, and i'll be looking to develop it as the strip continues. and suggestions would be more than welcome, as all fresh perspectives are good...

doctor destiny, origins, page one

a couple of sketches of a potential re-design for doc d too

doc d one

doc d two

thanks very much for the kind words everyone - much appreciated

poor ol' fig's been made & deleted already tho'... next time i'll get it right

fantastic!

thanks leigh

yes they are. i'm just trying to decide whether or not i can be bothered to fix it (being lazy, probably not...)

i know the sig's borked, i kind of like it like that

she ran down the alley, no breath left for screaming. one thought only, to escape.

the turning had been a mistake, the last of many, but here is where it had led her. this dark place, well away from the bright lights of the city, down here amongst the lost, the forgotten and the damned. as she runs, her foot catches and she stumbles, falling headlong through the greasy puddles, to come to rest against the wall. grazed hands and knees now weeping blood that slowly mingles with the grime. behind her, the footsteps slow, then stop, and a giggle, almost child-like in it's pitch begins. she closes her eyes. there is no point in watching. she knows what is to come. death stalks down through the darkness towards her. a slow death, and a cruel one.

then there is the noise. like the hand clap of a giant, and she is buffeted by a wind and a strangled cry that comes as quickly as it is over. opening her eyes, she looks around the empty alley, her pursuer gone. standing, she shakily makes her way towards the street, not noticing as behind her, a fine red rain begins to fall.

figment


this will be the fourth time i've made him. i'll get it right one day

agreed! many congratulations! - well earned

I love Bios, I have been collecting them for quite a while.
They make me smile, they make me cry, ...but always in a good way.

Paragon would be a poorer place without these genius bios.
I salute them.

collect them all into a big ol' book. i'd buy it!

i'd be up for taking part in this too, should anyone want to use my wobbly style.

in my opinion, it's have to start with the writers agreeing on a 'plot leader', who, in agreement with the other writers, thrashes out a basic plot for the strip to follow. the writers then parcel up the story between themselves, with one acting as a kind of russell t davies plot overlord. then the pages get pm'd off to us poor colouring in types, who get to ignore the stoopid words and do some pretty pictures.

since i am so lazy, i'd also suggest that the artists only commit to one or two pages per round?

another quick sketch, odd name, odd character...

seventeen days

outstanding!

exactly as the title says...

Yet your protagonist is wearing red And has a big (non-white) star on his chest.

Otherwise I'm loving the scene setting

well yes. what i wanted was a blue top, with a white star, but i felt that combination, together with the word american in the name, may be pushing it a bit...

you're right about the jets. i have now had a look around for references on them, and can only class my work as shoddy.

just a short comic showing the origin of a character.

there is a lot wrong with it. i did no research whatsoever, and thus have only a vague idea of what the planes of the period look like (hence the vague drawings of the planes...), i also got a bit fast & loose with my drawing, and feel i should re-draw chunks of it, but need to find the time.

comments / thoughts are welcome

origin page one
origin page two
origin page three

just quick drawing of a new character.

he's american, he's patriotic, he lives in the silver age, he's waiting for the shield set, he's...

American Advocate!

i ground my own red & yellow ochre from dirt & rocks, made a brush from wooly mammoth hair and painted it on a cave wall really. these kids today, with their fancy 'puters. don't know they're born

nowt so high tech. paint and a paint brush on an old bit of cardboard

really nice work! funny & full of character

just a doodle of a character, a little different for me
