Description Quick since I'm about to start class: BAM COMIC ASSIGNMENT.

More of a description: the assignment was to take the story we're working on (I'm working on this for my screenwriting class AND comic character class in hopes of preparing it for a future comic) and make a "presentation" picture. As in, show off a good chunk of the characters in the setting and tease a bit of the story into the composition.

The basic story is about Charlie (middle, noir interpreter) and Coyote (dramatic accountant on the right with the vest) working together to translate noir (shadow creatures that occur when someone dies during or because of a crime). Boyer, far left, is a researcher of noir. Alice in the way back in the window is a suspect of a murder that happens, along with Pendulum (way far right).

You can find information on noir as a species here: [link]

Edit: As requested, made it more of a wallpaper size. Not exactly the right size (835 instead of 768 tall) since it wasn't originally intended to be a wallpaper (and I don't want to cut off parts of the composition), so it probably won't quite quite right on the screen.

Edit 2: Jeez, I didn't expect you guys to like it that much! XD Since I don't wanna pay for putting up a poster for who requested a print, I instead have a poster of it available for purchase here: [link]

BeckKeep In reply to ElephantsLikeTea [2010-08-21 03:15:11 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's part of the mystery on how the white noir's white. XD Chasing around the "white rabbit" to figure it out.

Dramatic Coyote has an idea! 8D
...Boyer appears to be unimpressed. He would like to enjoy his tea, thank you very much. >.<

I love your style so much!! It looks like it was done in pencil. Was it..?

I love it! Lines directions used for shading is a nice style which adds texture to your work. It's also interesting because there is an idea going on in this pic and not just pure visual aesthetics. Great work!!!

BeckKeep In reply to HolyLancer9 [2010-04-09 22:20:09 +0000 UTC]

Maybe, or at least ink something like this. I'm thinking of trying to do some sort of wash to get some grey tone going on.
