The artist in thee

[Archemetis]

Unfortunate double-post but you guys left me no choice by being so inactive for a while.

I've started up a comic project which can see here at: [link]http://www.blankslatecomic.co.uk[/link].
I promise some semblance of quality and the occasional chuckle.

It's a story-focused comic set in a game that was about to go gold before a catastrophic game-ruining bug tore the whole thing down. It remains active on a test server that the devs forgot about. There the world carries on after the bug.

Hope that you enjoy it if you choose to have a look.

-Arch.

Recently, another escapist wanted to see some of my work, so I created a quick Photobucket account.

Newest thing I've done:

He's some kind of time traveling criminal mastermind or something. I really rushed the background too, but whatever.

 

[username sucks]

It looks like the poetry thread died, so I guess I'll just post here.

The world can be overwhelming, so I tried to make sense of it as best as I could. At least, make sense of why I act like I do. Sorry if I didn't follow the structure or rules exactly.

Spoiler: For Another Day

For Another Day

Work to be done,
A path to choose.
My wants are shunned.
Dreams that I lose.

I try to stop.
Ignore the pain
No mountaintops
Just simple plains.

Another time, another day.
I wait, I push my life away.

The joy of life,
To be a child.
So rare was strife,
As I ran wild.

That's over now.
And as I fall
I notice how
The memories call.

Another laugh, another day.
The only choice: what game to play?

Now lessons endless.
I hear them tell
To "try your hardest".
But still I fell.

So many things
That I could be.
No joy they bring,
I shall be me.

I see myself, I see today.
Joy seems so plain, to waste life away.

I see my thoughts.
Written on paper.
I may be lost,
But life comes later.

So now, at least
I am content.
I'll have my peace
As my intent.

Enjoy my time, and live my way.
The rest of life, another day.

I find shading [i/]incredibly[/i] annoying, so most of my art's pretty close to monotone.

I started reading your webcomic. I must say it have a promising start and it look good.
So it look like it take place inside a Videogame, but then I realised even the narrator seems lost as much as the hero of the story.....so maybe is something else? I will continue reading for sure.

Also it is a good sign to have a white character for the hero. Always comics likes "Bones" and "Rice Boy" is good in my book

I make music! Here is a song I did recently:

Drawings are here...

snip

That's about it. Except for the first drawing, everything else is nearly a year old. I drew that first thing today after not drawing for something like 8 or so months.

Those are really good, but if I had to offer some advice, put more clothing creases around the pressure points (armpits, collar to shoulder part, framing a large chest, etc.) and less of the straight ones in the middle of clothes. I used to do the same thing.

OT: I'm not linking to my dA or anything because to be honest I feel bad when I do because I update so infrequently. But here's a thing from a couple years back.

I love the boldness in your work!

and monotone is very cool. Frank Miller and Mike Mignola were on to something!

So I ran into an old Escapist at uni today, reminded me to come and visit. Also because I've been doing things.

Just let me know what you guys think, any comments/thoughts/criticism/feedback you can give me and my artist will be greatly appreciated!

The year is 2957, The United Earth Empire (U.E.E.) has been waging a war against a newly discovered yet unknown race of aliens classified as the Zxo'S (A race of Bio-mechanical sentient beings). Our story follows Jeremy Zadan, a good willed and slightly OCD Ex-Navy pilot, that after completing his service decided to become a hard working man in the business of transporting goods. One day, while Preparing to launch from Terra with a shipment, he suddenly gets pulled into his ship by strange unknown figure; who from that point onward would change Jeremy's life forever....

Hey Mr. Twelve. Well, I'm interested in seeing more (fan and writer of SciFi myself), so that's good. If you'd like; you can PM me when more content becomes available to scrutinize.

That said, it's very little information to go on. What's your premise? Who are the characters? What's the 'hook' of this comic? Give us details DAMMIT!

Art: Decent. The composition of the frames (so far) seem to serve the aesthetic goals though the detail work itself is not as complex as other works. It seems to fit, I guess but (again) I'm not sure what the point of this comic is yet.

Writing: May need some work. Again, there's so little detail here that I can't really give you a comprehensive commentary, but certain lines caused me to twitch. Here are some suggestions with the writing (take them for what they're worth).

This is plot exposition news: News broadcasts that appear out of nowhere are always a bit tacky, particularly if the characters are involved with some business wherein they're not actively listening to it.

Spool out your exposition a bit more: at the beginning of your comic I have no idea where I am, who's important, or why I should care. Once again, I recognize that it's only two pages, but there's not so much as a narration box to tell me what's going on.

Get a military adviser: Already some of the military focused dialogue may be off 'more Cruiser Class ships were destroyed...' Really? Just the Cruisers? Their Frigate and Destroyer escorts were fine? 'Jules wants to Enlist...' Most militaries require that their pilots be officers, not enlisted. It may be different in your universe...but to an outside observer it feels like a mistake. If you're planning on heavily focused military dialogue, an adviser is highly recommended.

Despite all of that, I'm still interested in seeing where you're going and wish you guys best of luck. Oh...and also be sure to check out the escapist creative society: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Escapist-Creative-Society

Added the backstory to the post, I've been looking all day for where my post was moved so I can fix that XD

I'll PM you about the rest when I get the time, thank you for your feedback though!!!

For uni we had to pick an article to illustrate and mine was about the environment or something

I was bored on the train earlier so I did a few quick drawins and I really liked this one

It's the earth coughing, I just didn't add the earth bits cause I had no reference
