Irish Comics: Why we're here.

Hello All.

The whole point of this blog is to encourage a dialogue between irish comic artists. Well, writers or fans can all join in and comment of course, but what we want to do is get people drawing comics to get to know each other and see each others work. Any irish comics artists i've met have been through lucky circumstances, and any that i know don't really know each other. I grew up thinking i was the only one, but i'm well aware now that's not the case. So, enough of that: lets get to know each other.

Will had already posted some of his work, i'll do the same. I realise it'll be just me and him for a while, til this builds steam, but do join in.

All the best,

Declan.

Here's some 3D

Adam Kubert's Critique:

"I think this piece has a nice composition, the characterization is strong in his emotion and expression. Anatomically, it's well done and the proportions are right on.

One improvement might be for the artist to add some reflections or concentric circles in the water around Wolverine to show he's in water. I like the idea of the spray coming off of Wolverine...maybe the artist could've played that up a little more. It might've been cool to have blood floating on the surface of the water too.

The lighting is a little inconsistent, there's a big black area in the middle of Wolverine's chest that throws me off. It's important to keep your lighting consistent. Also, the crop on Wolverine's right claws is bad. The artist should try next time to get the entire arm into the illustration.

One other thing the artist might consider...If he adds a suggestion of a background it would give the illustration more depth. It could be something as simple as drawing in mountaintops where the base of the mountains could fade into a fog."

Congratulations to Will Sliney, who-along with some Kubert words of wisdom-scores himself a 'How to Draw' book from Wizard Entertainment.
