I can not show you the whole inked comic... partly because it's still not inked till the end but mainly because my publisher said so... but I can show you one image that I'm really satisfied how it turned out. If you flick trough the penciled images some post back you'll see where does this fit in the overall story.
When there are no posts - there are no post for weeks. But when there are, they come each day.
Last night I finished the first sketch for comic about Saraja and Nepismeni. I still don't know the space I'll have available for comic so there are no image borders drawn. And no background... Also, the dialogue is very rough as this is just the demonstration of the concept.
But as the moto of this blog is "publish everything you draw" I'm publishing this too.
Character design for a comic I'm negotiating for. The characters are - Saraja (the one with glasses) which stands for Sarajevska raja (loosely translated it will be Sarajevo mates), and Nepismeni (the other one) who is a bad influence (loosely translated as no-peace-men, or illiterate one).
And at the end the very first proper drawing of Čupo and Ajan. This might be a big comic one day... But here's just the first scan of unfinished drawing.
There are also some images of that Traitan comic. You remember, the most serious comic I'm doing at the moment? Well, I'm not allowed to show them to you so I can only tell you that I didn't ruined them with ink and that the editor is satisfied with them.
Hello everybody and may I say it is lovely to see you once again. And I hope you feel the same as it has been nearly a month since my last update. But don't worry, I have a mega post prepared for this occasion.
Let's start with weekly political cartoon. Some of them published here didn't get printed due to some editorial decisions (they ware approved but there wasn't space on the page). That means the only way you can see them is on this page. Not that you are thrilled by that idea but anyway... Here is 13th episode.
Next stop, something you don't see here often - a drawing of Amnesia!
In the next issue of BD FUNziiin, a e-funzine published on the web portal of Radio Sarajevo (remember the one who sent me to London) there will be a short section of my comics with Amnesia. I was also asked to draw a front cover. I had an idea of an empty cover with AMnesia rushing in saying "Damn! I forgot I was posing on the cover today".
Here is the sketch of that idea:
For the final image I tried adding some more "scenes" as to make a small story...
... But It just isn't as effective as a single image.
Also, Milorad Vicanovic Maza asked me if I would make a poster image for 3rd Comic Festival in Laktasi. With Amnesia on it.
We started with an idea that Amnesia should be next to a famous landmark from the city of Laktasi. Maza choose a bath house and I sketched some ideas I had.
Among all of those small images, he liked the image of Amnesia in semi-turned pose in front of the bath house. So I drew it full scale and inked it.
Next stop? Add color to that drawing. Maza suggested I do it like this (first image) but I thought that I should keep the clouds as the image (sky) looks empty without them.
But then Maza explained that he needs empty space (single colored background) so he can add text on the poster in those area. So I re-thought the idea of clouds and re-created the sky bit.
Last image was made last night and as I draw, er, paint, more you'll see it here.
Oh, I nearly forgot! How was it in London? AMAZING! You can read my reportage on some of places I visited on Radio Sarajevo webportal. Mime fest reportage part 1 - here Mime fest reportage part 2 - here Cartoon Museum - here
There will be more as soon as editors approve my texts.
