She Devil Island
Lets face facts. You cannot be a totally bitchin’ air-pirate lady with a jetpack, who travels the South pacific in a flying boat converted into an air-ship, and NOT have a secret fucking island base. It’s against the rules.
Some of you may note a slight resemblance to a certain hidden island base from a movie called Porco Rosso. I don’t know what you are talking about.
P.S.: It was very hard not to make this island look like a giant skull.

Building a Robo Palette
Creatively, one of the greatest things about comics is also one of the worst things about comics.
The boobies. Color.It’s hard to remember this, but back in the day there were men and women who actually painted the colors on to copies of the final art and then coded them so that a printing press could reproduce it using tiny colored dots on a newsprint page. The CMYK color model is amazing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model
These days with computers we can do way more than the old funny books. But more often than not it seems to me that digital coloring gets in the way and distracts from the art and story. We are so excited by the ability to do a million things at once that we don’t ask ourselves if we should do a million things at once. Do I really need to count the pores on Steve Roger’s nose? Is that Superman flying towards the Earth? I don’t know because he’s lost in the sun’s LENS FLARE!!!
Good design is always subtractive, not additive. Great artists always strive to strip things away to let their talent shine through, while mediocre artists tend to pile on layers of unnecessary detail in an attempt to distract the viewer from their deficiencies.
Don’t believe me? Go look at some Shaker furniture. Or, to keep it within the microcosm of comic books, go count the number of awards that Dave Stewart’s won.
In my on-going attempt to raise the art bar on Atomic Robo I’ve been learning more about color theory and poking my nose more into @rleep ‘s business.
The result thus far has been several very productive meetings with my colorist and the beginnings of a Robo color bible. The group of colors at the top are selected from what I’ve been using on the Vol.7 pre-production art, and the cluster at the bottom is a palette built from my favorite pages and panels from Vol.6.
It’s all still very embryonic, but it’s something that I’m very excited about.
The Dark Arts of Pantone special effects inks can’t be far behind!

Notes: 7208 / 1 day ago from apathyangel (originally from livelaughawesome)Canada Is About To Pass Sopa’s Evil Little Brother. Politely.
“I’m a Canadian.
We’re a quiet bunch; prone to enjoying hockey, drinking stronger beer than our friends south of the border, and lovers of fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.
We also, apparently, have an inferiority complex when it comes to being evil dirt bags, because we’ve decided to pass our very own version of SOPA up here.
Only better*
Meet Bill-C11. Formerly Bill C-32. (I think they thought if they made the number lower people would care less about it?)
{…}
But, as innocuous as it sounds, C-11 does a whole lot that SOPA did with a few extra twists you might not find in the Wikipedia write-up.
Like your PVR? You can’t keep it under C-11.
Like ripping CDs to your iPod? Say bye-bye.
Hey, do you want to be able to unlock your $500 smartphone and take it to a provider less dedicated to violating your wallet? That won’t be allowed either.
Did you get accused of internet piracy but no evidence has been presented and a trial date hasn’t even been set? Under C-11 your ISP will now be forced to terminate your internet access.
And people say that governments can’t be bought.
{…}
There are only 14 days left people. Get active.”
Send a letter to your Member of Parliament now. The letters are prewritten, you just need to click send.
Come on non-Canadian people, please signal boost this for your Canadian friends.

Notes: 41 / 1 day ago from mercurialblonde (originally from twiststreet)"If I had it all to do over again, I’d cut off my hands."- Wally Wood. Comics: An industry with a long history of intellectual property theft, self-censorship, fly-by-night Hollywood scam publishing swindles, endless holofoiled death-bagged gimmickery, bait-and-switch crossover thieving, mindless speculator madness, suicides, and betrayals, funded by meth-related money-laundering schemes, that now wants to spend all day every day lecturing its audience for not living up to the very, very high moral standards of the comic book industry. Yikes. (via twiststreet)

Illustrations by Adam Haynes
Born and raised of fine Central Oregon stock, artist Adam Haynes defines his vision of the world through the language of his surroundings—the vivid geography of the Cascade Range and the off-kilter character of its rural inhabitants.Adam’s pursuit of the creative craft started as a young boy in Camp Sherman, Oregon, where a lack of television and a plentitude of books inspired hours of drawing landscapes and scenes from his imagination.
Pop-Surrealism, aka lowbrow art is kind of my favorite art movement. Too bad it garnered its second name because a great deal of people in the art community refuse to acknowledge its legitimacy as an art movement.
