I like that, disfunction. I drew a picture a while ago of some people muttering about some guy in black being a satanist. He turns around and says "Nuns and Preists wear black!". Pretty lame, I know... :oops:

Maybe you could use the same idea, but just draw him from behind, have them say the same thing, and turn around and have one of those priest collars. lol

Favorite Comics; well, I'd have to say Batman, the Gambit mini-series, Sandman, Jonah Hex, and Vengeance of Vampirella.

The Gambit mini series is out?
O.O
I really need to get my butt to the comic book store.
Stupid lack of money.
I'm fond of Mystique's series, myself.
Cute comic, by the way.

Yeah, the Gambit series (a four-parter), at least the original mini-series, came out about 8 years ago. It was a backstory for the character, and it was really interesting and well drawn. The last issue came out right before Mardi Gras, and I remember scouring every shop in town, comic and otherwise, to find it while trying to beat the start of the parade.

My favorites would have to be JTHM, Lenore, and Squee. I got into JTHM thanks to my friend Beckie. At first I was appalled by it, but then I started getting into it for some inexplicable reason!

Has anyone read Neil Gaiman's Luzifer?...Just started with the first 5 books....I like it pretty well. It's a shame that comics are so expensive

I just go to the bookstore, pick up a graphic novel and a book, read the graphic novel, put it back on the shelf, buy the book, and read it when I get home. $3 bucks for Mary Shelley, but $16 for Card Captor Sakura? no way... but I did start buying the HEllsing series... I just LOVE the artwork and the dark humor.

Once started to collect something comics are highly addicte. And because I like comic drawing style so much...uh ...I just have to buy them sooner or later, I can't help it. Most comics I first borrow from friends, well, sooner or late I have to get them myself.
Books....I use libraries, but I'm also spending a lot of money for books. Same addiction.

no contest, JTHM holds a very special place in my heart. Also holds a very special place in the principals office of my high school. But I'm heavily into japanese culture, so heres a few of my manga faves... Model-has exquisite artwork and twisting storyline, Petshop of Horrors-funny in a weird way, Othello-cosplayers and split personalities-nuff said, and last but not least, Rumiko Takahashi's Inu-yasha. What can I say? i like a little animal in a man. :twisted:

Although I usually buy CD's and books rather than comics, I do have a special love for the medium and would like to/ am GOING to make my own some day. I like Robert Crumb's stuff a lot, he's an amazing artist. Hate is also very funny. Sandman and those things of course.. Hellblazer, Lenore, Gloomcookie, Bone, Urusei Yatsura.. A bunch of webcomics, like Demonology 101, Nothing Nice to Say, UAC, Scary Go Round, Orneryboy, and more.

Well, as far as the general style and setting, I got that pretty much figured out. I've started writing the story outline and thinking about the factors of time and landscape. It will be a nomadic story, set in the late 18th century. I should probably read something on comic book technique to help get some more understanding of flow and the mechanics of putting it all together. Right now I'm doing some character scetches and trying to find effective shading techniques and such. Not sure whether I should go for charcoal or ink, or if charcoal would even work in that context.
