Description I feel I feel apart during the inks. I wasn't rushing too much (except for the last panel) but I couldn't bring the page to life, so to speak. It was still fun though.

This is very cool. Blackest Night made me think that Mera is 10 times cooler than her husband!

I'm glad Mera's become a fairly popular character recently. It'll be cool to see where DC takes the Aqua-family. give it to me

haha that would be awesome. I am glad she is getting some more attention too. I think you would do a great job with the book too, I like your pages you have in your gallery

All I can say is, if these inks are you struggling, then you at your best would blow the entire industry out of the water.

I don't know... I've seen a lot of comic artists and they are really, REALLY good...

Arcalian In reply to craigcermak [2009-12-10 22:35:06 +0000 UTC]

I've seen good artists too, and you are one of em.

I've also seen artists where if it wasn't for the colorist I wouldn't even know what the **** I was looking at.

Then there are artists who are....passable and get paid for their work, who at their best aren't half as good as you are right know. I'm sure at least one famous name will occur to your mind in that category.

I do appreciate your really, really nice comments, I just don't have the same view of my work I guess. Plus I'm just a straight up hater in general

Awesome.
Now, is it suppose to be very dark? (first panel back area)

craigcermak In reply to NamiUzumaki [2009-12-10 20:49:31 +0000 UTC]

Black is mostly used as a framing and directional tool in here, also to show distance and create a balance.

NamiUzumaki In reply to craigcermak [2009-12-11 23:24:31 +0000 UTC]

Okay. It just seemed very overpowering. But maybe that is because there isn't any color. Do you ever color any of your pages?

craigcermak In reply to NamiUzumaki [2009-12-13 17:03:24 +0000 UTC]

No, I haven't, but that's not to say I won't ever. Time is a huge factor. I can never do what I really want just because of deadlines.

well, i love the inking but its just like you said... it doesnt make that feeling of life

I guess the only way of making that "life" real is to give it color

No problem. At some point, even though you don't want to, I'm gonna ink something of yours. It can be sketches like I've been doing with Alec for all I care!

Sounds awesome to me, I'd just feel bad if the pencils aren't very good you know? Or fun. I'll give you something though.
