My Coldcut, Target and Militia Pin-Ups are pretty close to being finished. Should have them ready by the end of the week.

Excellent! ^_^

My page is inked and being coloured.

Question about Cobalt in my pages: is he wearing the trench coat and hat, or not? I can't ink it until I know.

Ah, sorry, should have made that clear. He wears the trenchcoat and hat on ALL pages.

Hello Just stop by to say I just did the ink for page 13 and working on ink for 14 and by next week i should have both pages in color :-)

My Coldcut, Militia and Zombie-Shell pin-ups are all in the dropbox. I've enjoyed doing the RISE-teams pin-ups, I might have to do more when I've finished Target's.

Ive done my page and added it to works in progress. Would someone be able to letter the page for me please?
Thanks

I've just uploaded one of my two pages into the require coloring folder.

Working on it as we speak. :) That is a GORGEOUS page, UncreativeName. I just hope I can do it justice. o_O

BTW, any preferences for Target's eye colour? There are like four pictures of her floating about and NONE of them have eye colour…

Agreed, that page is really nice. Militia and Target especially look fantastic. I think Target's eyes are blue, but I might be mistaken.

Thanks! And wow irrevenant, haha I'm getting a little emotional with your colors. You really made the page pop, it looks awesome!
I should have the other page up by the end of the month.

Posted at 4:04AM, Apr. 18, 2014

Indeed, truly fantastic page! UncreativeName & irrevenant, you've both done a great job!

I'm currently whipping up a Cobalt teaser…then we're missing one member of RISE: Bones. Does anyone think they could whip up a teaser similar to the one me and abt have done for the RISE members?

Posted at 5:04AM, Apr. 24, 2014

I'll do one for Bones then :)

Posted at 1:04PM, Apr. 26, 2014

Oh shit, thank you guys!

Posted at 6:04AM, Apr. 27, 2014

Doesn't look like I can push out a Cobalt promo, either. Sorry guys…anyone want to take that one off me, too?

Posted at 4:04PM, Apr. 27, 2014

No prob, I'd been planning to do one anyway.

Posted at 4:05PM, May. 3, 2014

I just stop by to say I'm finish page 13 of act 2 now I'm working on adding the color on page 14 :-)

Posted at 6:05AM, May. 5, 2014

Great, thank you! :)

I just need to draw the background on mine, but I'm not sure what needs to be in it to be honest.

Hmmm… Act 2, Page 7… *goes to take a look*
Okay… this is how I would do it (of course there's no need to do it as I would :p): The first two panels focus on the action, plus you don't need to establish the setting, so the background can be more of an afterthought. Depending on how the action is depicted, it can serve to highlight it or be more or less omitted. The third panel is a more static one, I'd recommend putting in some buildings of downtown Darwin (although that, too, depends on how the shot is angled and specifically how the zombies are arranged - if the zombies take up much of the background, the buildings can more or less just be hinted at, or, again, omitted). Aaaand actually that pretty much also applies to the final two panels. In all of these cases, when background is of no immediate concern, my only rule is that it should nicely complement the foreground and not distract from it.

Posted at 6:05AM, May. 21, 2014

I agree with everything abt said. Panel 2 probably doesn't need background as the Zombie Queen is supposed to look so imposing - maybe just have a load of zombies cramming the background. Remember, some of the background get taken up by the speech etc - so try not to spend too long on the background for more wordy panels :-)
