Description A page from the first issue of The Uniques, releasing in January 2008.

Every page is a collaboration by myself and
we both do thumbnails, I rough up the page layout, and do final pencils on the forground figures and action, while she does background pencils. Then she takes point on the color, doing the foreground and laying out the lighting schemes, then I color backgrounds and lay in textures and some effecty things.

In this sequence, Telepath (Hope Sage) is trying to escape from an unknown facility while the guards try to sedate her. Some of the special FX hasn't been added yet, but you get the idea

The Uniques is (c) Adam Withers and Comfort Love

I LOVE htat reflection on the bottom panel. I also LOVE (cracked me up) the hospital being telekenetically held in place.

My only real problem with this, is I don't really understand or read what's happening in the last panel on this page in the middle row. Otherwise, very sweet.

She's supposed to be swinging around the one guy's back and kicking the other one out of the elevator and into the crowd of guards. It was a tricky one to work up, and is still only about 50/50 where we wanted it to be.

Glad you like the rest, though!

I figured out that's what she was trying to do from the rest of the panels, but it really doesn't read to me...sorry. I love it otherwise, though. Seriously.

It's the absolute best, my friend. I'd have it no other way. You've always got somebody to lift you up when you're freaking out, and to keep you moving when you're in a slump. I'd never have gotten this far in my art without her, and that's no exaggeration.

Not sure what FX you are planning on, but I don't think it even needs them! GREAT action!

AdamWithers In reply to PenKiller [2008-01-04 16:21:35 +0000 UTC]

Oh, not much. Just a little TK glow on the bottom middle panel to show she's forcing the elevator doors closed. Glad you like it!

It'll be out by the end of the month. We're releasing it both as a CBR file download and a print-on-demand book, both available on the website we'll be launching. All will be announced both here and on our blog [link] so stay tuned

Thanks! It's hard, because I tend to visualize everything as a movie, or at least as moving pictures. Finding just the right camera angles and shots to portray as complicated an action as this can be frustrating. I think we did it just well enough to be happy

You'd think that a super secret government facility would be able to afford clothes that covered one's ass.

But yeah, very good sequence. It's so cool to see it drawn out. Action looks great. These are coming out so awesome.

You'll get your chance by month's end! Issue 1 drops in January, come Hell or high water.

By drops, do you mean hits comic shops or shows up on the internet?

Because if it's in comic shops, there's a very low chance my LCS will actually order any.

It's all internet, right now. We'll have a CBR digital download, and a print-on-demand site where you can order a paper copy.
