I'm no Art director but coming as a Designer myself you are outstanding so far to me. I would apply now with your best work. Start making a list of clients you want to work for and find contacts through Linkedin and connect with people in the Industry.
Bravo, Im jealous lol

I made my own thread but I thought I would join in here on the discussion. I noticed everyone kind of keeps to the same style of artists.

Is that on purpose or would a diverse set help? LIke Jake mentions Bill Watterson and Masamune Shirow. Two worldly different artists/cartoonists.

@TessaW Thank you! I can't really wrap my head on how you explained the color choices. I'll have to do more research on the saturation levels. I guess to me they feel more muted but still have punch and not overpowering in flashiness.

@peteolczyk Thanks! I was hoping it translated into those words.

@Chip-Valecek Awesome. Thanks! I do have an interest in trying to create futuristic technologies and cross dimensional storytelling.

Hello SVS'ers!

I "think" I have a good idea on what my ideal art style is, but I want to get a more in depth critique on what these artists and art pieces feel like to other people. This is a more modern version of what my older work use to be influenced by.

Following Slovember my idea is to come up with a good comic cover. I'm using my influences to map out a direction. With Lee's questionnaire I had hard time answering the first couple of questions.

1. Is there any theme that tends to run through the work you look at (both art and non-art related)?
2. How would you describe this theme to someone who wasn’t familiar with it? What is the best key¬words you could use to describe it?

And here is a couple of my latests studies and drawings
How would you describe this theme to someone who wasn’t familiar with it? What is the best key¬words you could use to describe it?

So this is a big sticking point for me when creating any work that pushes past a sketch level design.. But I wonder how does this apply to comics? Comics are single still illustrations that convey moment to moment actions and I cant see myself even attempting to do 50 thumbnails for say a single panel.

Any thoughts on this? @Jake-Parker @Lee-White ?

I would think limiting them so you aren't spending weeks on a single panel

@Lee-White Is there a reference for business plans available?

@jakecrowe Thanks! Much appreciated!
