22 UFO Panels

My PC is back. It was dead for a while there, but is reloaded and feeling much better.

I have decided to put the UFO back into Acme UFO Defence. Wally Wood's 22 Panel exercise is "in work" - Alien vs Space Marine style.

The point of the exercise is to stretch artistically and improve storytelling. It takes about 2 1/2 weeks doing 3 panels a day.

“Never draw what you can copy; never copy what you can trace; and never trace what you can cut out and paste up.” Wally Wood

You can see the original Wally Wood collection in hi res from the owner here.

Merry Christmas

I hope that everyone enjoyed "Talk Like a Time Traveler Day". I am now going back to a Donald Duck project that interests me.

A great 11 page script was written by Jeff Hamill about Donald and nephews in Hawaii. Jeff met with me and explained how a Donald Duck comic is created and provided me with some good resources if I wanted to play Disney artist. Jeff is a very good writer and deserves to have his stories published, and buckets of money dropped his way by movies, tv, and European distributors for his great stuff.

I hit a perfectionist-block almost immediately, so today's post is a sample of some of what I consider hideous (some say it looks fine... I don't), and I will post soon some of my efforts to finish some pages worth showing.

The current strategy: draw may variations - overcome bad starts with many retries. It seems to me to be a legitimate way to attack a block. We shall test this today.
