The Vehicles of Zodiac Fringe

A little late, but this took longer than I thought. THe vehicle designs for my comic was way overdue.

The Zodiac Fringe team

Here's are portraits of all the main characters of my comic, Zodiac Fringe.

Zodiac Fringe

This is another update on my comic. This is the logo, and consequently, the title of it. Why the heck it is called that I shall explain further when there is more details to reveal. Anyway, I also attached the work in progress to show how I eventually arrived at the final logo.

Something new(ish)

Shakin' it up a bit by showing off another character for my comic book. Enjoy!

More of the same

Here's more of the same. I do have more drawings than this, like another character done, but I have not been able to scan them yet, so this is what I've got. I'm feeling that the little one on the right is more to my liking. I want it to be an adventurous comic, so I feel it needs to not be too realistically drawn for it to get the right feel that I want.

Vintage look

I am playing around some more. This time a sketch I colored. I think that my comic possibly might benefit from a more vintage look, so I'm trying different things to achieve that. This is one of them.
For newcomers, this comic is based on a piece I did earlier. It's on my website, thomaskirkeberg.com

More story stuff

Here’s another update for my sci fi story. Now with another character profile and some ink tests.

Sinkhole p3

And here's the final page that I did.

We'll continue with the first page of the comic that we started last time.

Sinkhole Cover

Here's a cover for a comic book project we did in class.

Mecha-snake-dragon

It's been a long time since I posted sketches so here we go. This is a dragon design we're using in a short comic. It's a mecha-snake-dragon!

One Page Stand

Here's a standalone comic page we had to do. The assignment was to ink it quickly.

Boosted page 1

First page of Boosted. Sorry for the missed update. I'm a busy little bee.

Boosted

I completely forgot I have a blog. Sorry. Here's some concepts from an unfinished comic we had to do.
It's called boosted

The Crab witht he Golden Claws

A very late update. Ooops. Here's an old comic book page I had to do for comic book class. It's a redesign of an already existing comic book, Tintin and the Crab with the Golden Claws:

That's All Folks!

Here comes the very last update for Torn. That's all folks!

Second to Last

This will be the second to last update. This time with some scenes.

Musings on How to Enter the Funny Pages

Okay, I'm trying to ramp this blog up a bit. So I'm shooting for a Thursday and Sunday update from now on out. Wünderbar!

Today I went to see the visiting artist at your friendly neighbourhood Illustration Student Collective my school. The artist was Lora Innes, the mastermind behind The Dreamer web comic (www.thedreamercomic.com) and she was talking about how she got the foot in the door in comics, which was largely making a web comic and turn it into a successful venture. It was very inspirational and served as a little kick in the butt to start figuring out my own web comic.

I love making comics, but it is massively time consuming, so I use forever to finish one. Her techniques on streamlining the process was very helpful (it involves using going all digital and using sketchbook pro and comic life), but still I have to solve the big issue: Figuring out a concept I'd like to stick with for  a lengthy period of time. I already have one in the works, however I'd like to search for a new concept that is more unique. One that sticks out. That will be quite the challenge. Expect many hours spent in the mood room looking like The Thinker. Whatever it's going to be, it'll most likely be a web comic. Judging by all the star signs, it's the future of comics. It certainly is digital. And what's more, the artist is in full controll of the franchise which is neat. The downside is that there is 432.213.231.567 other web comics out there too. I think I shall solve that by adding some awesomeness. Or just rip of Twilight, or something. Who knows.

However I have one concept lying about that has some promise. What it's about is for a future blog (if I go for it), but it involves this guy:
