Comic Con VS Mini

Here's the mini comic I did for Comic Con 2011.  

I thought rather than have a biz card a mini comic could work as both. 

The Comics is a trifold with six 5"x7"sections. 

My friend Derek Hunter (Lobster Lad, Pirate Club) helped me out with the printing.

I Only printed up 100 of em.

I worked on this after work and it took me about a week.

I switch the back ground color to a red to help my characters standout out.

Also, I rendered them out a little more.

Here's where I was seeing how far I could push it.  I wanted the cover to be really dynamic with all kinds of action. I tilted the characters and Really covered the title up. I still feel like this has all kinds of energy but I needed more of a standard format.

Because the format of the mini comic would be a distant step from a standard comic, I decided that I better make sure the cover was more recognizable as a comic cover.

So I Gave it the flat upper cover panel like the old comics and more of a standard Branding box

This is the thumbnail I stuck with. It's a little less dynamic but more recognizable as a a comic cover.

  All and all it was a fun Challenge and a lot of fun.

Just in case you want to look at a bigger versions the pages. This is the print format.

VS pencils

Here's all the pencils. I drew the blue wire-frames on my Cintiq, printed those out and then tight them up in pencil.
