He suggested I keep playing with styles panel to panel, even incorporating sculpture. <br /><br />Intriguing idea: Maybe one of the dreams will be in sculpture.Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-80325213005207308222011-05-26T07:29:54.830-04:002011-05-26T07:29:54.830-04:00Thanks Katy!

I like the idea of loose colours and defined lines too. <br /><br />Traumador - well that's the thing. Some of Trilobite Boy's friends may be hipsters, the girl he falls for is goth. I picture him as more of a skater-punk. <br /><br />You're right, there's not a big difference with the style in the dreams, but so far we haven't seen one in the comic yet. That will have to wait until after the butter tart sequence. <br /><br />Thanks The Nerd! How are ya!?<br /><br />Brian - Panel #1 really? It's funny, I always took courses in uni about narrative art, but they seldom actually dealt with sequential comic art. That's Fine Art for you, I guess. <br /><br />Do you have a link to your comic thingy? How have I missed this? <br /><br />Very challenging and yes, a lot of fun. It's been a rough time here at Casa Mellow the past few months and this has been a bright spot creatively. <br /><br />Thanks everyone for comments so far!Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-31074829469043970032011-05-25T21:16:47.532-04:002011-05-25T21:16:47.532-04:00Panel #1 is the strongest in terms of composition ...Panel #1 is the strongest in terms of composition and execution. I also like where #5 is headed; the shift to sequential. Can't wait to see where this takes you!<br />I'm also working on my first comic style thingy. It's very challenging, but a lot of fun :)Brian Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899117152325468716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-58563189647410490262011-05-25T14:43:48.590-04:002011-05-25T14:43:48.590-04:00I enjoy the style of #3 the best.I enjoy the style of #3 the best.The Nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00617669314398652449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-41049419695700638832011-05-25T14:37:39.480-04:002011-05-25T14:37:39.480-04:00When you say he hangs with "hipster" fri...When you say he hangs with "hipster" friends just how hipster are we talking? I don't know if I can actively follow the exploits of a hipster, even if he is a Trilobite :P<br /><br />I do like the style of 5, and think you could muck around for a more dream like style for the dreams, at moment I can't really see a huge difference.traumadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00387315561167115253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-90469209243512553972011-05-25T14:02:22.422-04:002011-05-25T14:02:22.422-04:00I really like the style resulting from the "s...I really like the style resulting from the "speed painting" in the first few comics. At the same time, I would have to say that comic #5 is my most favorite of all of them. I like the more defined, "comic style" outlines and panels and would love to see a combination of the more loose coloring with bold outlines and panels.<br /><br />Trilobite Boy forever!Katy Chalmershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202856826810496266noreply@blogger.com
