Description
For the last few weeks I'd been hinting here and there about a "big" project I've been working on. Well, this is it, or at least part of it. I'd been trying to work up five sample pages to submit to Archie to try out for one of their Sonic comics. This is the only one I've finished so far. I'm super quick, obviously.
Over the weekend I went to the HeroesCon in Charlotte and spoke with STH writer Ian Flynn and artist Tracy Yeardley. They were both extremely nice and helpful folks who gave me advice toward what to submit and how to do it.
After chatting with them I'm thinking that this heavy black look won't do for my official submission, so I'll probably start over with a more open clean line look. Still, I'm very happy with this page, which is the first comic page I've ever gone all-out on. It was inked digitally with the tablet over looser sketches of the panels. The Sonic logo I scanned from two of the covers and pieced back together into a whole one (Sonic's head obscured pieces of both), then cleaned up and re-toned in Photoshop.
