this is the last panel of “moses jones” that i prepared for my art class final. i practiced using ink to paint with and used the influences of ralph steadman and rembrandt in my process. since then i have also embraced lynda barry and david mack as wonderful examples of painting with ink. so these five comic’s (of which this is the last) are my first efforts at painting with ink. i am not completely happy with my efforts, but i look forward to doing more of it as soon as i have half of a minute to do so.
in addition to perfecting my painting with ink, i also need to figure out the plot line of this comic. i want to create a dystopian society of sorts. i want to develop the characters based on my children & have them function as actual characters–not props. i need to know if moses jones is delusional or on the lam or actually fighting zombies or what.
maybe it will all come to me in a dream.
maybe i should start drinking more.
Looks cool. 🙂 Painting with ink always seemed really daunting to me. Something about its permanency. Props for a job well done.
thank you! i love doing it & hope to get much better. i’ve always felt strangely comforted by the permanency of pen…. but i’m pretty used to living with my mistakes–haha.
Heh. Nice way of looking at it. 😀
