Goth Kid A was too powerful so Marvel had to kill my boy 😔 (being goth is obtained by inheritance)

Sucks since there are so many interesting directions to go with the character; old man apoc had DRACULA as a consistent archenemy (if you’re wondering about the head) and a Halloween special would have been cool.

Love the idea of the clan akkaba basing their emblem off of En Sabah Nur’s mutation and trying to replicate it…

Older QQ in the ‘Riot at Xaviers’ fit, maybe about 18? He was definitely wearing the stripes in X-Force #2 and was an adult there so I’m pretty sure he never got rid of the fit lol

BG inspired by WATXM #3.

We got told in class to study scenes we like from films or shows to get better at storyboarding.

What are some scenes you find interesting you feel I should check out? (Anime and cartoons prefered)

Also doing this with manga pages to better my paneling so give those to me as well!!

As someone who has already graduated with a sequential arts/comics degree: definitely don’t limit yourself to manga and anime. ALL good comic/manga artists study film and how shots are utilized.

Here are some good examples to look at:

The Shining:

Alien:

The Terminator:

The Matrix:

If you’ve ever wondered why modern films look like garbage, it’s because unlike these films they are afraid to push colors to their extremes (or sometimes at all) or afraid to have dark/obscured shots or different/odd angles for the camera. ALL of these things contribute to the mood of the film.

As far as manga setting a mood, things get significantly harder because you don’t have color to work with: just shadow.

D.Gray-man:

Naruto:

Something that may prove more useful than studying individual panels is studying entire pages, the flow of them, the use of black vs white spaces/shading, and how they are set up for the most impact.

The ending panels of shock mean nothing without the lead up, the HUGE and dark special effects noise, and the ‘emphasis’ lines around the first panel:

Hope this helps!

IOS users and Patreon. Big old heads up.

"Apple is requiring that Patreon use their in-app purchasing system and remove all other billing systems from the Patreon iOS app by November 2024. This means that starting in November, new memberships purchased in the iOS app will be subject to Apple's 30% App Store fee.

First, we want to be clear about one thing: this will not impact your existing memberships at all. Apple's App Store fee only applies to new memberships purchased in the iOS app beginning in November 2024."

Apple users, if you make your pledges through your browser you can dodge this fee.

This is just apple doing its usual nickel and diming to take a slice of every pie.

30% is a comically huge cut on top of what patreon already takes. Please, for future support of patreon creators, please avoid the Apple App version of patreon. Open a web browser and support your favorite creators that way to make sure your money goes to the creators and not just disappear into the void of another giant corporate greed hole.

I know lots of fellow artists who need patreon to live and keep making things. Don’t let Apple gobble up what you’re trying to give to them. This is just ridiculous.

Worlds cutest villains!!! Dracula and Renfield 🦇(for my ‘Monsterous’ series)

Bonus full color lineup so far + Victor variants:

[axelerror]

Victor Frankenstein and his creation 🧪🪦🪡

Decided to make a 70’s au sort of thing (calling it ‘Monsterous’). These two are the main characters but I will be finishing up my Dracula, Renfield, Invisible Man, and Werewolf designs soon. All of these are based on the books and a tiny bit inspired by the universal pictures versions as well…

Their personalities are very much like the books (at least at first), they’re just under different circumstances. These two do NOT get along lol. Partially because Victor has issues (generally speaking and also in regards to his creations existence) and also because they are WAY too similar. I love the idea of a flesh golem of human corpses brought to life, but golems in Jewish lore typically follow exact orders given to them by their creators. The Creature… does NOT do that. He WANTS to follow orders because he wants to be useful/loved and there’s something deep within the fabric of his being that compels him to (the nature of being a golem) but he defies Victor constantly.

Upon creation he already had a mind of his own and fragments of Victors' personality fused within him, albeit manifested in different ways. (In the book both Victor and his creation love nature, however, Victor is in awe at the sheer power of lightning strikes while his creation loves the signs of natural life: birdsongs and newly grown leaves.) I imagine the creatures independence is a big reason why Victor is terrified of him. Beyond the uncanny valley of sinew and muscle not-quite lining up under patchwork skin. Beyond eyes like black holes fueled by something beyond either of their comprehension. Beyond responsibility, or god, or anything else, is the fear of unpredictability. A golem that does not follow orders.

If this is apocalypse

Wish they’d bring Evan Sabahnur back, he’s an interesting character who works off Deadpool and Apocalypse’s characters/themes well. Just feels like wasted potential that he tried to save Apocalypse in the past and doesn’t get to communicate with him at all in the present…
