both characters grotesque jagger people time
I like characters with character, not just pretty faces. Anyway, I think people can be both grotesque and beautiful at the same time. Look at Mick Jagger in the seventies. Look at Angelina Jolie.
came folk legends reasons spooky stories work
I think one of the reasons Stephen King's stories work so well is that he places his stories in spooky old New England, where a lot of American folk legends came from.
stories
I get tired of stories that keep going and going and never get anywhere. It's like a promise that's never fulfilled. Stories need endings. Otherwise, they aren't really stories. Just pages.
art based beautiful black comic comics conan dug early festival good john stories though white
I dug up some old John Buscema 'Conan' comics. Man, when Alfredo Alcala was inking, that was some of the most beautiful black and white comic art ever published. The stories are good, too, though early '70s comics based on Conan is a festival of sexist, racist stereotypes.
roots feelings stories
I love gothic monsters, but I like to root them more firmly in the traditional folklore from which they sprang. Or at least, I like to evoke the feeling of those folk stories.
thinking color too-much
I think theres too much saturated color in comics, thanks to digital color techniques.
girl meaningful childhood
Theres something about girls and unicorns thats deep and meaningful. Something about childhood.
thinking artist trying
I think all artists need to try to improve, or their work gets stale.
stories conclusion climax
A story really isnt truly a story until it reaches its climax and conclusion.
character design attention
Character design, like story design, requires a hook to grab the readers attention.
