FLIGHT FORUMS

these are great - i quite like those little abstracty looking shapes next to the man in the stripey shirt - what are they?

Oh - are they the UFOs I am meant to choose? '~'

that's a really great little story, I like it a lot. It's kinda fantastical but also really mundane. I like this kind of understatedness- you could very easily have overplayed either what the little monster was up to or the couple's reaction or something and it would have quickly turned into somethi...

You mean to slam the door or not?
I think the little fez looks more upset than angry, so maybe the loud slamming of the door doesn't work.

real nice, scott. The white outlines definately work a heap better than the black on the little spirits. Really brings them out. Not sure I have anything really useful to add. The colours and compositions are great, there is a real sense of atmosphere and place, both in the drawings themselves and i...

It has a very nice quiet, ghosty feel to it, which I think might even be lost a little if you go and bold the colours up too much. I think maybe the little spirit guys are a little too defined, with the black line around them. I can see how they would disappear entirely without it, so i don't know w...

Hi, my name is Andrew, I am working as a multimedia/web-developer guy at an e-learning company. I also do some freelance illustration and animation work, but not nearly as much as I'd like.
I'm keeping up a comic sketchblog here, which is keeping me relatively sane for the time being.

There's the cute manifesto the comicessay itself, and the cute manifesto the collection of Kochalka's various other comic essays, including the craft is the enemy thing, not sure which we are talking about here. I seem to remember reading the essay a long time ago, but none of the details have reall...

Do you mean you don't know how to go about colouring them technically, or you don't know what kind of style to use? Or something else?
I quite like the way you coloured in the third one there.

I spent ages staring at those runes, wondering if they meant anything, missed that entirely. It is a great painting, it has life to it, something that seems to get drained completely from this kind of overwrought fantasy/sci-fi gear. I think you may have overplayed your hand though, if you wanted th...

i can't think of a more horrible accompaniment to the bagpipes than a bear organ and their monkey. Guy on the right seems to love it, though.

that's great, it's like Tom of Warhammer 40k.
Is that a pierced codpiece he has?
Is this a one off piece, or is it part of a larger thing?

i like the loose way you have inked and coloured this, and I like what you did there in the middle where you joined up the two panels, I think that works really well. I do get a little lost when you fall in to the water. I am not really sure what happened. Did you just slip? Hit something? Try to ju...

I really like the vampirates, partly because the word makes me laugh, but the picture is great. So terribly self important and far, far too cool for school, (the guy in the middle especially so)

They are very pretty for pirates, though..

ha - that's great. I really like the ganglyness of the scarecrow, but the tin man creeps me out a little bit too much, not sure why. Maybe it's the skeletalness, or could just be the crosses for eyes, I kind of understand that as cartoon shorthand for being dead. Is that like an aviators helmet thin...

what was the guy doing before the elephant showed up? Just spying on the neighbors and munching on peanut butter?
