Good stuff! :up:

Black and white is always good -allows you to colour it in mentally, yes?

As for an art forum, this one is pretty much well-suited for the non-TF stuff, y'know. ;)

That DH strip was superb. 8) All your stuff is good, it'd be a shame if you didn't do new stuff.
Cheers for putting them up.

Yeah, add my voice to the chorus of "Go do more work so we can look at the pretty pictures!"

Even in this early DH strip, your sense of pacing, storytelling, and paneling is already starting to show, which is the most amazing and awesome thing to me.

I agree with everyone else, I like your shadowing, timming per pannel, story telling and your frame work. great comic direction!

I may just try and save a few days to do a special Transfans piece of TF art. I'm still trying to find time to do the 'build a 'bot' topic, and a HISS tank TF for young Covenant.
And write my book. And catch up on my DVDs. And deal with hospital stuff. And try and fit in some sleep. I'm on this forum every day for at least an hour too.
Still, ONE new pic can't hurt the timetable too much, can it?
If only we had 70 hour days...

That Robocop-pic is bloody incredible.

As for your first comic, the DH one is rather good. I can't help but feel a bit confused by it tho, everything goes down so fast, and your storytelling skills didn't seem to quite have matured yet.

I know what you mean. I tend to do short strips (ooer) as four pages, which means that I have to compress things a bit more. Then I have certain art tricks that I want to include (the blasting the last few creatures running panels bit). I should have gone up to at least six pages - although I could probably do it easily with four now.
I much prefer doing comics with more pages (usually 22 pages, similar to real comics), where you have room to create. Thsoe four pages certainly limited DH's character.

I've got a load of pages of a hulking guy battling his way up a building which I'd like to post. It's just a running battle with little dialogue and great violent deaths. Does it matter if I post the images here, or would it be better if I just post a load of links to Imageshack for the pages? I don't know how lots of pics (13 I think) affects the loadtimes of the thread.

Ta. I just checked the next comic stuff I'm going to post and found it was nineteen pages. I'm too lazy to scan and post that just yet, so I'll have to find a time when I'm neither busy or lazy.
Thanks for all the kind words - especially when there is WAY better TF artwork out there than mine. :)
