I Am Back

<div class="IPBDescription">some sketches also...56kerzz watch out</div> I would like to apologize to everyone for my unexpected disappearence. Especially my partner in crime Visual Mirage. Bills were piling up and my cable was shut off. I've been working six days a week and just trying to catch up w/everything. Once again sorry if I worried anyone. I've gone back to my regular 5 day week so I have some free time open. Lately the only drawing time I've had is on my breaks at work because when I come home I have babies jumping on my lap and putting their little hands on everything. So I'll be posting stuff all this week just updating this thread I guess. Good to see alot of familiar faces are still here.

I wanted to start out diverse. A little bit of comic work, then cartoony stuff, etc.

Here is some pics I was goin to do for the series of GOOD IDEA/ BAD IDEA comics ppl were doin a while back

This is the begining of short comic. These I did just to get a feel for sequential art and story telling. Also I wanted to do some action stuff.
<img src='http://home.comcast.net/~Deunen/ns/z2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

For the actual comic I seperated page 3 into a few pages because I think there's too much info to fit on one page. I've done a ton of different angles and layouts but haven't been too satisfied w/how its coming out. That is why I started doing these little action pages to get inspired and hopefully learn how to improve the layouts. These are page 3 designs and a final I've been working on.

    Welcome back Duenen. Pretty sure it left waves when you dissapeared. (Can't be positive, I left a while too) Hope you can get back into the full swing of things. By the way, the NS comic is officially flat-lined right?

    <b>Edit: We can't live without you or Sheena! You both are truely the best artists here ^_^</b>

    Hehe, good ol' NS comic, me and Deun must have a long chat about that.

VM I can tell already that is goin to come out hot nice work. Here's some more stuff ...

    Here are some more small action pages. After looking at them again they look like they lead up to the Marine vs Fade pic me and VM did. These are just to experiment with angles and pacing and stuff.

    more final character designs
    <img src='http://home.comcast.net/~Deunen/ns/z9.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

    "No one gets left behind" type of picture The injured marine is undone because I couldn't find a comfortable position for his left arm. And that dudes trigger finger is so wrong ...

  • RaVeRaVe Join Date: 2003-06-20 Member: 17538Members
    wow everytime I see your art the more I want to draw....

    BTW, I think the placement of the left arm in the problematic pic is close to impossible without screwing the proportions <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> I guess you'll have to try it with Trial and Error

    BTW, VM nice shading there. For a moment I thought that was official art lol

    The "no one gets left behind" drawing is one of the best NS drawings I've seen yet.

    Oh oh! Name the dork-ish one with the glasses and horrendous Smile Liku!!! Pweeze!? I just think if he's blonde it'd look like old me.

    I'm glad you guys are enjoy'n my stuff!! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> On the marines shoulder in the fade comic page that is a flashlight not a rocket. I just thought it would be more dramatic there. And Liku the similarity is just a strange coincidence <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> okokokok update time.
