Humanise.com comic project update 26/6/13

Been able to get a couple more pages inked in and started work on the biggest eye candy of the first issue the giant double-paged spread introducing the viewers to the world of the Internet my style.

Humanise.com is an Epically ambitious comic/graphic novel of mine that is been written by my dad. and drawn by me 

 If you like what you see head over to my DA account to see more development of the series  and bigger scans of finished inked pages.    

   

possibly The monster of all splash pages and illustrations i may ever have done.

The aim of the page is to cram as much internet culture , memes and general wackiness to establish the galaxy sized city of the web after million years when the story is set. My laptop is currently filled with screenshots and names of websites i came across from all spectrums of the World Wide Web. 

page 8

the birds eye angle of the house was the most challenging aspect to this page.

lots of action to get you in to the story early  

penciling of page 9

Humasnise.com update 17/6/13

 Hello all I have decided from now on to spilt each project I do as a separate post so it does not get confusing and boring for me to write

we have a new logo

There have been many great strides made in the development of me and my dad’s ambitious graphic novel/ comic series Humanise.com (name may change).

We have written the full script for issue one and as you can see when you scroll down the page some actual finished pages. The Writer (Dad) has worked on issue threes story it’s getting very exciting. I am still not quite sure how many volumes or issues there will be for the first arc. That’s right there’s going to be multiple character arcs in the overall series. The good thing about coming away from development of H.C for a while was that with the collaboration powers of me and my dad (writer) we could throw out character and joke ideas to put in to the finished product so we can reach as many diverse internet groups out there.

I am no Internet expert but that’s the reason why I want to make this comic a success. Test both my visual and knowledge of a thing that makes my life so much easier and I sadly could not live without it.

 third promo idea I put together today. I did some research in to the Internets history so you get educated while you look at the art for free as well. I know there are lot more founders of the Internet I just picked the three that looked the most important. 

We have a plot symbios to get your taste buds watering a little.

1000 years ago earth is wiped out by war of neutral bombs. At this time the Internet, as we know it was been updated and had began to think independently. Now 1000 years later the Internet has transformed in to a virtual reality where severs websites and programs of all kinds have become living breathing beings connecting together to from a thriving metropolis. Our two main protagonists CADRA the normal farm girl working in the code fields and Mutt her pet dragon suddenly embark on an epic quest to find the code that could bring down the controlling powers of the big bosses Google Apple and many others. But what is this mysterious code?

Engaged yet..... I hope.... this should give you a better grasp on the story and universe we are building here

now heres some inked in pages and character designs to show you whats happened since last updated. 

These two are actually pages that appear later on in issue one reason i have skipped ahead is the first four pages are going to big in your face splash pages detailing the world you are about to enter and i just want to cram as much in these pages as the start of the story will take pace in a rather mundane environment and will focus more on characters then wow look at that detail. 

part one of my nightmare begins lol

The original thumbnails i did for this page from last year before the craziness began. We are spreading the action scenes over a few pages then squashing it in to a small format

Character Designs

our main cast decided as of now (more to add and design). Cadra and Mutt are the main characters we are focusing on in the story

These three have popped up in my sketchbook for H.COM time and time again the alien Han Solo dressed character is called  Kono 

fairly new idea about Carda traveling with a group of interesting characters with their own unique back story 

there you go this update should give you all the information you need to know about H.COM so far.

you can go to my DA account to see bigger scans of the inked in pages 

until next Post LATERS :) 

Jowy Shenanigans 3/2/13

UP - DATE...... u get it 

Opps Sorry if there have not been a blog post in a few days a lot of shenanigans happened last week and I have found it a little more challenging to juggle all these projects and things I am doing consistently to get my work noticed by the web.

What happened last week I hear you mentally say?

My talented musical friend Cameron Aka C-Dog was interested last year in doing a comic series for my character Jowy. before the end of last year I had given him a brief rundown of the world and the characters that inhabit it so he could write some material in his spare time.  On Wednesday he emailed me 3 scripts he had written for my characters and was I impressed. He really captured their personalities and made them believable. I now want to start working on this thing so badly. But I have to be realistic with time and consider what is priority.

I joined Behance officially so link to some of the professional more finished pieces of mine  .

This colourful  MLP FIM dragon crossover picture was a paid commission I got from someone on DA for his fan fiction Fiery Incantation .

I have read some of it and being the brony I am outside of my work life Its really got me interested in checking out more pony fics they are written quite well.

Wait where’s Humanise.com in all this

No point asking CADRA and Mutt about this

Nowhere I was busy with the commission and job searching that I put the development on hitas last week. This coming week I start layouts for the story it’s going to be great.

Last thing I want to mention before I close this post out is that I am having a blood test early tomorrow morning because there sadly is a history of relatives in my family dying from heart attacks later on in their lives. I am sure we can all agree that’s the last thing I want to deal with down the road.

NO Please NO... NO the legend of the Titanic animated movies JUST GIVE ME THE STING XD

So yeah them needles I am scared and secretly panicking. Drawing this exaggerated cartoon on my tablet has clamed me down and made me realize its not that horrible and these are professionals who know what they are doing. No need to worry (unless you live in cartoon reality) then RUN FOR THE HILLS.

lol Anyway folks until next Post LATERS ;)  

  

Jowy Shenanigans 14/10/12

It’s being a whole week of peace with out my sister since she moved on to her new life in as a university student in York. I have done at lot of drawing in the last few days and guess what its linked to yet more ideas for comics and things I want to make a reality. It all started after I saw one of my DA mates post up a pony version of twitter he called Chit Chat. I being the brony I am wanted to do my own interpretation of his design because I liked the idea already of ponifying existing things which makes ponies awesome 

But then as I went out for my daily afternoon walk that Tuesday I suddenly thought “wait a minute what if she was human and facebook was her mate that could take the identity of anyone”. “And Safari was a young annoying adventurer that harassed Twitter and Google was the dictator because he was so big and the city was made up of the web and…” that was it I was sold and did rough character designs to what my mind had originally pictured including lots of other sites.

Wow Flickr needs to take a chill pill seriously

i need to do more character turnaround sheets in the future 

Better then been rick rolled

I thought of making it an Ask blog at one point or a cartoon of some sort. I was in a pickle liked what I saw but had no idea where to turn or do with them I decided to show my dad the concepts and sketches I had put together so far and he said “a comic where we collab on writing and Art”.  

I prefer to have a female heroine for the story then male to challenge myself since i enjoy drawing cute girls 

Busy Busy is the nature of the interwebs folks

In the last three days I have been coming up with new character designs and background ideas while he has been formulating a plot reason and for the internet existing as a physical thing his explained in detail to me what he envisions but it’s a little too complicated to explain and I do not want to be here writing this post  for hours. Lets just say a lot of his geeky sifi knowledge will be implemented in to the comic.

Just today my Dad gave me the idea of Norton and MacAfee being the Law police of the web but their sort of like buddy cops drawn in a 1920s style   

This project seems very ambitious especially with my obsession for small details which could slow us down but i feel passionate about doing this and look forward to exploring the internet though doing this already gathering up website names and videos to use in the BGs    

Keep you updated on the process regularly  

until next Post LATERs ;)
