Description Another hastily coloured doodle in physics and maths - you can tell which subjects I'm learning in, can't you? This is me practising hard and buggering up hands.
I meant to have a speech bubble: "I'm a religious leader now! You can't treat me like this! Yuo're EXCOMMUNICATED! All of you!"
I want to do a short comic about Post-communism China, which has become a neo-bohemia; a heaven for all cultures and ways of life: drink, drugs, new-age music and lots of sex. Religion too. This man wants to form his own phoney cult and get rich. But then there is this boy he meets who looks very sick and claims he knows when the world is going to end - but has yet to experience all of the human vices. So it's a comic about this cult man trying to get a sick teenager laid, to kill a man, to fall in love, to steal, to be brave...
Hmm - perhaps one day...

Everyone likes this one - I should do more on the theme, perhaps?
You like the old religion, eh? *plays with 'bishopochi'... *

I love the picture and I really love the concept. It'd make an awesome comic! The excommunicated line made me laugh

Hmm, I'm not sure how I would do this. Whether I should try for a comic of fair length to tell a story or just a single page to amuse the interest in it.

cooldjmonkey In reply to Mikenestin [2006-11-09 02:41:32 +0000 UTC]

Um... I'm not really a comic expert (I've never been able to draw past five pages), but I'd like to see it as a full length one. As I said before, the idea is fantastic, so I think you could get a fair amount of pages out of it.

nana-tilde-asterisk [2005-10-09 10:07:35 +0000 UTC]

Very good work on the perspective. The arm looks alright to me and I can't make out any hard anatomical mistake.
The colours are too pop art like to me.... Somehow I like your plain graphics better than the photoshopped ones... I think the colours surpress the 'ancient'/real touch graphics have...
(But apart from that) A very good pic. <3

hikikomori [2005-10-08 14:55:33 +0000 UTC]

once AGAIN: very nice colours. actually its better to leave some space for imagination with the blue background colour. it reminds me about the speed and smoke that are fine elements of motorcycle

Mikenestin In reply to hikikomori [2005-10-08 17:13:02 +0000 UTC]

It's not so muhc leaving space for imagination - but more that all the things I can imagine just can't fit on the page. So I put none of them in!
Thanks so much! I've wanted to draw a motorcycle for aggges!

Nice work, very thorough idea as well. (specially like the new-age music part, my favorite) I'd have to say that when I dodle, I don't give it that much thought...

I love how you coloured this piece! Very nice work on his pose and the details of the motorcycle..the concept for the comic is very interesting,easily overshadows my common childish ideas

I hope you can develop this further,preferably during Physics class

Laskroto [2005-10-08 01:05:09 +0000 UTC]

The best aspect of this piece is its energy -both compositionally and in terms of line. And hey, if you're worried about your hands, at least you dont have any trouble with feet. I've had plenty of grief with them since I overheard a girl complaining in art class about how she couldn't draw them right.

Mikenestin In reply to Laskroto [2005-10-08 17:55:49 +0000 UTC]

I changes my feet to be less realistic and more... well - charactered. I've learnt that not everything needs to be true-to-life to work. I think you understand this idea well. Well - I cocked up on the hand and lost my rubber! So - I couldn't redo it!

TheNavigator [2005-10-07 23:31:01 +0000 UTC]

Love, love, love the character's position; very dramatic. ANd the accompaning story is just as rich. You got talant from both worlds!
