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!

Does anyone have any resources on creating an elevator pitch for comics, or Graphic Novels? I find myself talking (actually talking) about my comics and I have a hard time finding the words to make everything seamlessly flow into a good pitch without going into to many details that reveal everything.

Here's a quick update for those interested. I took some votes and input from you guys and combined a few elements from all three.

*Edits

• Shrunk arms
• Changed Viser shape
• Added Ears from B
• Added mouth style from A
• Added Eyes from B (More expressions here

Without arms is just normal mode.

@dorrismillerrr Think of it as different versions of software that creates Rabbot's different personality states. When in defense mode the software changes and its demeanor changes with it. I use warlike as just a throw-away phrase.

@IgorWoznicki Awesome! Thanks for your input!

The shape language makes a lot of sense. I struggled with making sure an orb style framework looks robotic in nature. Do you suggest I just block all the components out in basic shapes?

Also on a side note (C) I quickly just merged the arms from B without distributing the shape correctly. I was hoping to get an overall feel for it. But if the sizing is an issue I can adjust that.

A. Does look creepy, especially with the eye design along with the lines. Almost a blank stare too. LOL Thanks again!

Hello SVS folks!

I am in the development stage of creating characters for my first Graphic Novel/Comic Book. Periodically I will through characters up here to get some much needed feedback because I never get myself to a final design in any of my characters. I'm constantly tooling around, discovering new features and adding and removing elements. It makes it hard to finish anything.

So since My background is in graphic design and I always limit my first draft iterations to 3 versions I will do that for my characters.

Rabbot: A fully self functioning AI Bot that takes it's personality from a pet Rabbit of my main character.

The Bot was originally an education robot from an advanced civilization.

key characteristics:
Friendly looking but can turn into a war machine (More on this later)
Rabbit features/characteristics.

A is the original design
B. Is a more friendlier cartoonish take
C. Just the frame but a more Robot look.

Whats your vote or ideas? And do you need more details?

Thanks for all the help!

@nyrrylcadiz WHOA! Absolutely stunning! I like the blur effect on the planet they or on but I feel it might be a little harsh. My only thoughts at the moment.

@nyrrylcadiz Awesome. I'm gonna watch this thread to keep updated!
