I am someone who wants to be a comicbook artist.
I love to post/reblog about references to help others, things I've recently created, things I'm working on, or anything relating to art.
I hope whatever you find here helps or intrigues you.

Aficionado of the Underrated and Unconventional: Actress Traci Thoms inspired a DC Comic character; now she'd like to play one

dcwomenkickingass:

Actress Traci Thoms has appeared on television’s Cold Case and Harry’s Law as well as on the movie screen in Rent and The Devil Wears Prada. But to superhero fans she may be most known for her role as Etta Candy in the much maligned 2011 pilot of Wonder Woman.

It’s traumatizing to know when that happens.

yamino: rosalarian: drew-green: Hey folks! My friend Joe Edens (responsible for the webcomic Rabbid Force) asked me how I make my word balloons non-elliptical, so I threw this tutorial together for him.  It uses Photoshop, but you can do this in Illustrator and it probably applies to other art programs similarly. In other news, the campaign for the second episode of my webcomic, The Super-Gay Adventures of Ross Boston, is live on Indiegogo.  Donations are appreciated, but so is sharing the link wherever.  Thank you! ~Drew Aaaah! Thank you for this! I’m just about to letter a big project and always wondered how to do this. <3 http://www.balloontales.com/ is also a great resource for more tutorials on digital inking/lettering! It’s what my professors taught from at SCAD. =)

batlesbo: theshadowofyoursong: theyellowbastard: “The concept of portraying evil and then destroying it - I know this is considered mainstream, but I think it is rotten. This idea that whenever something evil happens someone particular can be blamed and punished for it, in life and in politics, is hopeless.” —Hayao Miyazaki One of my very favourite recurring themes in Miyazaki’s work - especially in Spirited Away - is how the grotesque and initially threatening reveals itself to be benign and even compassionate. It’s so beautiful, and a lot more meaningful than the typical good-evil/black-white dichotomy of other mythology. All of my family is a fan of Myazaki’s work. Eveyone has their own preference, my brother has a special liking to Kiki the Witch, my father is in awe with Porco Rosso, ect… But something we all love most in Myazaki’s amazing stories, is how “evil” is represented. It’s beautiful, and real.
