Wounded Land Layout Pages. Or I'm a big attention hog.

I set these into the Album, but like the title says I'm a prima donna. So here's a couple Wounded Land scenes in comic book format. Each one is on 8.5 x 11 paper and took twenty minutes to complete with them being scanned into Photoshop. These are the set-up pages that most pencilers work with before starting on the standard 11 x 17 blue lined Bristol boards used by printers.
Most of the dialogue is from memory as well as some of the scenes. I really got to find my copies of TC.

The necks are a little long (he says admitting that it's 1000 times better than anything I could come up with) but it's awesome!
Keep doing more!!!!

Kyool! Love it!!! The whole series should be done this way. Bet my sons'd read it then..............

What, giraffe necks aren't in fashion?

Thanks everyone for the positive feed back, I needed it after getting my artistic feelings crushed like tinfoil at the Comic Con. LOL

Holy cow..... The Chronicles in comics... now we're talking!!!!

I'm with SoulBiter. I don't think any of us would be opposed to seeing the whole thing done this way. I'd love to see how you interpret the shadowy form of Lord Foul. The way I see him, he's like a silhouette, just a black form with no features. Like you drew the outline of a man and filled it in with solid black. Maybe he has a green aura during the time he is in proximity to the Illearth Stone. Hmm, the potential here is great. I wish I was an artist. I need a ruler and drafter's template to draw stick men...........

I've been working here and there on the Wounded Land comic pages. I've completed the opening where Linden Avery finds the Jesus Save note under her doorway, I hope to have that up soon. I myself would like to translate all three books of the second series into graphic novels for my own site and this one just for the hell of it. It is a slow process because I'm between caring for an eleven month old, work, and other projects, at the moment. As they say "stay tuned to this Bat Channel." "P

Freaking awesome, man!!! Keep it up. Your depiction of TC is spot on, btw.

Really quick to answer your question Rocksister about how I would portray Lord Foul. Using Photoshop I would basically create two plates. One would have the scene or background and the other would be an inked drawing of Lord Foul as SRD describes him... basically an evil looking Zeus like figurehead. Using Photoshop I could then combine both plates.
I would be able to create the Predator effect with the drawing of Foul by using the Opacity sections until it looked correct to the eye and whallah.... Lord Foul mocking our two protagonists in all his anti-there glory.

Linden Avery's Jesus saves page is up in the album.

Neato on the Jesus Saves art work. Lurker is way cool. I always equate the lurker with the critter in the lake outside Moria's walls in LOTR. Yours is more like a squid than a giant mouth with arms, though. Very good work, K.

Well, it looks like I'm going to take the time to create a graphic novel on the Wounded Land. I uploaded page two where Dr. Berenford shows up to make Linded Avery do his dirty work.

... I have the page three in the works in photoshop and it should show up some time tomorrow.

"Attack of Giraffe necks...AHOY!"
