That's not ominously creepy at all... 
Its funny. I have covers, but I don't normally post them to Tapastic, because my comic is normally horizontal, and, well... Tapastic is.... Either way here they are! Enjoy (links above the covers): The Crimson Fly, Issue #1: [image] The Crimson Fly, Issue #2: [image] The Crimson Fly, Issue #3 […
This thread is Awesome! Check out the Latest Page for "The Crimson Fly!" [image] Let me know what you think!
Hrm... I have a few from both sides of the creating table. As a creator, my biggest annoyance is backgrounds, specifically cities. They have to be specific enough, with enough detail that you recognize where you are, but not so detailed that they take away from the characters engaging with each o…
Thank you! Oh, I got in before there was anything other than Flash for animation, so that's what I stick with (Flash CS6, btw). I also don't have steady hands when it comes to slow brush strokes, so I like that Flash's brush will auto-correct my strokes (this was before lazy-nezumi). As such, I al…
Nice! I think what also helps your poses is your use of contrasting colors (both in terms of character relations and environment relations), and contrasting layouts (your hero on the left, with his antagonists on the right). There's a lot of subconscious simplification going on, and that rocks! Nice…
Welp, my comic The Crimson Fly is a superhero comic, so like @AnnaLandin, there's a lot of excuses for action and dynamic poses, not just in fighting, but in running and jumping as well! It helps that my static comics serve as concept art/storyboards for the Interactive versions, (which you should t…
Aw, thanks! I know I don't have to, but I like that you connect the panels by having elements of the next panel (Rei's hair, Max's speech bubbles) pop into the previous one. It gives the reader's eye an automatic place to go and leads them across the page. Also, I like that you play with speech bubb…
Hey! Thanks for setting this up! Its a really cool idea! I do a strip called the Crimson Fly! Here's the blurb: "The Crimson Fly is a pulse-pounding, animated comic strip about a masked vigilante stumbling through the ropes of being a superhero. Will he survive long enough to learn that life isn…
There's an interesting mystery set up in the design of this character right off the get-go: Why are their eyes closed/seared shut? What's with that crazy third eye? What does their armor do? Basically your character's design is really intriguing and that's a great way to get a new reader invested i…

Haha, thanks! I couldn't give up either, and they're too sides of the same coin (the only difference is the perception of motion), so why not make it easier to animate by having my comic panels serve as concept art/storyboards/key poses for my animation? Oh man, I think, about ... two months..…
I have this problem but in a different sense. So many digital devices have some sort of pen/touch functionality that carrying a sketchbook is more of a novelty than a necessity. My main work device is a Microsoft Surface Pro 2, and before that, several tablet laptops that allowed me to untether …
Hey all! I doodle a strip called "The Crimson Fly!" There's an animated version floating around the web, but its a Flash interactive strip, which doesn't work on phones (and might eventually not work on computers if Flash goes away entirely; trying to find a way around that), hence the Tapastic str…
Amen! Doing the hard work first of laying out everything makes everything else a lot easier!
I dunno, TMNT2014 comes pretty close. A lot more of the plot relies on plot contrivances (the O'Neil family's responsibility for the turtles' mutation, for one), and the Turtles redesigns force a lot of aesthetic changes that don't really gel well with the series established aesthetics (Foot Clan =…
I'm kind of mixed; I can't have either "just scripts" or "just thumbnails." I need both. If I only do a script, then the choreography of the sequence and layout of the panels is usually all wrong; plus I end up laying it out in my head as I'm scripting, but then forget that layout when I do the ac…
This is a really cool idea, and I love the idea of getting insight on other people's inspirations, processes and workflows! These are some great questions too! Keep it up!
