Soaring Silversparrow

[EliseuGouveia]

Heya, folks,

Guess what I do in my self-imposed lunch break, to take my mind off of....er, making comics?

Yes, yes, backgrounds are the one part of this that I trully invest the most in, but nevermind that .
It´s just some brainless fun to vent out some stress and I´m making up the story as I go, drawing the pannels one at a time (one each meal, give or take).

Don´t be too harsh, remember that it still beats reading "Complete Course of 3DStudio Max" ´s 520 pages of technobabble while I´m eating. :rolleyes:

Last note: This is no Watchmen, or Sandman, so don´t expect the ultimate comics experience; as I said, I just decided to start drawing sequentials instead of random drawings when I´m munching muh corn flakes.

Edit:

Fresh News:

Somewhere between pages 4 and 5, Epyphany struck me and I already know where I wanna take this lil´story.
(That´s the main reason why I actually went back and started coloring them pages)


An interesting development for someone who was contemplating killing off Silversparrow Jr. here in her first superhero assignement and dropping the ball to her big sister´s park (Yeah, yeah, I can already hear you screaming: "- Starman!!)

Not I KNOW where I wanna take this short superhero tale, prob is how to get there.

That´s usually the fun part .

[EliseuGouveia]

Of course, being this comic an ´open source´, any input/ideas is more than welcomed .

[EliseuGouveia]

One more for the road

[MonteCristo]

Beautiful stuff. You are gonna be big if you can keep on at this rate.

[EliseuGouveia]

Thanks, Montecristo.

Well, I don´t know if I´ll be big but I´m definitelly getting large; all these hours sitting drawing/Photoshopping without doing exercise can´t be good.

Here´s one more, still hot from the oven .

[EliseuGouveia]

Gawd, I´m having too much fun with this

[evil_radish]

you are obviously very talanted, but we all now that from before dont we

only crit i have is that the strip seems kind of boring to me...i think what kills (maybe a bit harsh...but, oh well) it for me are the backgrounds, cus most of teh characters are very nicely painted, but the bg lack very much. also it seems you got some crazy mix of styles in there which also makes it hard to really enjoy the excelent linework!

this really comes forth in your last submition tho, where the line work isnt bad (although not as good in teh previous ones, imho), but the coloring ruins it.

anyways, keep going, practice makes perfect as they say, i only wish i practiced more :P

edit: in the first pic, the ceiling is very nicly rendendered, very nicly indeed, but then when you come down to the wall its just a plain solid color...this wouldnt be bad if the ceiling was the same way... stick with one style for the background, which doesnt have to be the same as teh characters as this helps bring them out, but something you may want to keep in mind.

NNice...nice

did i say nice?

Nice

[EliseuGouveia]

Heya, folks, thanks a lot for the input .
I really appreciate any comments you can spare, otherwise how will I know what I´m doing wrong, right?

Thanks, IDownupI, I´m glad you like my stuff .

You´ve hit the nail right in the head, Evil Radish, I´ve been extremlly sloppy with the coloring work of these pages and it shows.

Guess it´s one thing to pencil these pages at the dinner table and geting them all dirty with food stains and another completelly different to bring the same laid-back approach to the coloring stage.

Aaaaand I decided, due to time constraitns, to go back to depict Jessie Wright/Witt/Childers/Ryder´s baptism of fire in B/W Format instead of the extremelly time consuming coloring approach, hope ya folks don´t mind it .

Anyway, enough yapping, here´s a new one :

[RBL]

Outstanding! You draw and color like a monster I really like the back light in the second page. But i think most girls you draw have the same face. It´s something topic of comic drawers. But topics exists to breake´m.

[EliseuGouveia]

Heya, RBL, thanks and thanks for the heads up, I guess I do end to stick with certain patterns, eh?

I´ll try to look into that in the future .) .

Here´s another guy I just did in 3 hours and 40 minutes.

Gawd, I´m on a roll

[EliseuGouveia]

Ta-daa!

I just can´t sit still today, can I?

This baby took me 2 hours and 10 minutes, but I have to say that pannels 1,2,3 were partially designed last night over dinner .

[EliseuGouveia]

Kra-ka-thom!

Mr. Busybee strikes again .

Is anyone keeping track of these production times? I can´t think anymore, I close my eyes and only see stacks of machine type paper... my Muse has me and no red pill will wake me up from her titanium embrace.

Oh, well, who said mental balance was a pre-requisit to be an artist anyway?

[ClAyMan]

You have too much sparetime my friend. Get yerself a decent job ffs!

Damnit, you're gifted! Havn't time to read al the replies, but you ARE going to get this published, right?

Damn you all gifted people, hate you all *wanna be one, wanne be one*

Realy, realy nice

You're a machine... especially churning out quality like that in that time. Admit it, you're an AI aren't you?
