I thought I'd chime in on this contest. Since I've been messing around with 3D I've been dying to do something in a comic book format. Thanx for the chance. STORY SYNOPSIS: The plot revolves around a police investigation into criminal allegations against Joshua Dalembare, the CEO of a major munitions development corporation, who is said to have been selling black-market weapons on the streets. The local police have been pumping Dalembare's private secretary, Karen Howard, for information much to the dismay of her husband Ray. Finally she gives in and decides to speak with the law only to find out that there may be more to her boss than she knows...when what appears to be 2 agents from the National Security Organization show up at her doorstep. Who is Joshua Dalembare? What exactly does Karen know about him? How is the N.S.O. involved and what do they have in store for Karen and her family? Most importantly..why are the Howard family watching a surfing movie when Heroes is on? ART NOTES: This was my first image using the G2 figures Sydney & Simon and I am very impressed with them. I put a lot of work into the lighting [not my strongest suit] to project a believable nighttime atmosphere. More than anything I thought the camera angles were key to the story not so much for a dramatic effect, but so everything wasn't so linear and distant! After rendering each scene sepperately I brought each panel into PS7 and did some extra lightning work adding some key lensflares for the traffic scene. I then did all the dialogue in Illustrator and Voila! This was fun! If I have enough time I may do another!
I'm not an expert on setting up comic panels, but I didn't get lost trying to read this. I always get lost and read stuff out of order. You must be really good (but we already knew that didn't we?) at this.
It is VERY apparent that this is the work of somebody who knows their way around setting up sequential art and comic pages. A fine job of story telling through panels while making giving each panel an interesting POV, colors and shapes and still it all blends and intertwines well as a whole too! Fantastic job here, Star!!
