We all need to be slaves to the story, and not get caught up in noodling an illustration. I look forward to seeing more of your creative process.nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329637259897415286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756416124824561576.post-15496976484348519312011-06-30T09:09:29.330-07:002011-06-30T09:09:29.330-07:00Hey Nicolas

I think it will also be born through lots of prayer.<br />And you confessed me to do something I never did before: Order something from abroad. I'm sitting here in Switzerland and I hope Flight 8 will be here soon :-)<br /><br />Greetings and thanks again for your honesty and passion!Raphaelhttp://raro.deviantart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756416124824561576.post-9326855603684271302011-06-29T11:50:02.106-07:002011-06-29T11:50:02.106-07:00Congratulations!

It's rendered, but not super sharp - it has a very dreamlike quality to it. <br /><br />Y'know, it's a funny thing how artists tend to work better under pressure. It's as if the panic button has some direct link to creativity. Hah! I'm glad I'm not the only one who's intimidated by large expanses of paper! My early storyboards for animatics were the size of "postage stamps" (as one friend put it). I've upgraded a wee bit to four 2:35 to 1 panels, but it gets any bigger than that, I get twitchy.<br /><br />PS - I put your idea of tonal composition from your last post to some good use this week. I had a rush storyboarding job and I tried out that method in my thumbnails. Made a big difference. Thank you! :)The Lady Nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695434884544757269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756416124824561576.post-26261228388001423732011-06-29T08:02:49.370-07:002011-06-29T08:02:49.370-07:00I've been working mostly training illustration...I've been working mostly training illustration/animation/programming, but would love to more towards comics. I haven't had a clue about process, and tend to get bogged down in character design when an idea hits, so this process-view is really eye opening for me. <br /><br />Also, I love that prayer is part of your process. Something I always neglect. Congrats on Flight, and great post!ollwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235752166509157510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756416124824561576.post-36801901640292984472011-06-28T12:40:10.157-07:002011-06-28T12:40:10.157-07:00congratulations on having your story published on ...congratulations on having your story published on one of the best volumes there is dedicated to graphic novels!<br /><br />i'm really excited for you, and i'm gonna save up for a copy of this one (it will be my first -- and ironically last, thanks to the surprising info that vol. 8 is their final book).<br /><br />thank you for posting your work process. me and my friend's actually working on a story and we were groping in the dark on how to get the whole idea moving...and stumbling upon your blog again inspired us (me especially). it also gave us a clearer idea of how to tie down our messy ideas...<br /><br />plus it really inspired me that you do prayer-journals as well. it's really encouraging to see a fellow artist ranting to God in the midst of a panicky-fit on paper. haha!<br /><br />much thanks! it's been a while actually since i dropped by...the last time i checked your blog was when you posted the Jellybot: Lizzie post...so seeing you posting the work process for your flight comic was just timely!<br /><br />more power and God bless you! :)Gabeebeeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16503485775920902454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756416124824561576.post-90375368402495803432011-06-28T12:18:15.351-07:002011-06-28T12:18:15.351-07:00Your comic looks absolutely beautiful.

I can't wait to read this one, though. :)sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736594830061244680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756416124824561576.post-5696081511034535222011-06-28T12:07:26.460-07:002011-06-28T12:07:26.460-07:00¡Congratulations!

Be glad and be happy, we sure are for you.<br />It's very inspiring to see the proces you use to make your comic. It goes to show that there are many ways to do one thing. But, of course, your work as a whole is inspiring.<br /><br />Unfortunately we don't get much books around here, much less books in english, and even less comic boooks (in english!); could you tell me if Flight can be bought on the internet?Gueph'Renhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12249517889282607183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756416124824561576.post-87173441305715079402011-06-28T10:56:12.958-07:002011-06-28T10:56:12.958-07:00I just have to say, that this is not only inspirin...I just have to say, that this is not only inspiring but completely reassuring.<br /><br />Inspiring because your artwork is beautiful; the kind I hope one day I'll be able to create!<br /><br />Reassuring because your process isn't as rigid as I have always been told plot-driven comics should be! Your original, one-sentence idea probably told me more about the story than any summary ever could.<br /><br />So thank you for this post!! I love seeing how other artists begin their process.<br /><br />p.s. I, for one, ALWAYS use those little moleskines! Way less intimidating than a big sheet of expensive paper!rachel xshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572982669627186429noreply@blogger.com
