Artist's Comments

This is a sample of one of my main art projects right now, a spiritual comic called "Theri There." I was pleased with how the artwork turned out in this one, and it seemed a shame to only cover it up with text balloons, so here it is. The version of this comic with its philosophical text balloons is at: [link]

Tools: ink, T-square, charcoal pencil, and a little Photoshop for touch-up and to invert the colors in the last panel.

yes the last panel is very beautiful all by itself... I also like the panel symmetry in it as well.

This is truly a fine piece of work. I think the only way I would have managed the last panel would be to draw it in black on white and then invert it in Photoshop or something.

Truly, you are an artist, not simply for the immense technical skill that is obvious here, most especially in how seamlessly you blend your tools, but also for the fact that even when it doesn't say anything, it tells us a lot. A good friend turned me on to your comic a while back when I needed to see that not everyone in the world just stared at the ground all the time and spun nothing, and I truly appreciated you sharing it all with us. While I can easily see how this is a favorite piece of many, I'm still rather partial to the one where the passing child cheers up a depressed therian by clearly seeing their other self even when it seemed no one else could. :)

What it boils down to is professional modeling means getting paid to overreact to stuff like rice cakes and new shoes. (Invisible Monsters, Palahniuk)
This is beautiful! I love that you did this all in ink.
Also, if you really like the inverted affect in the last panel, have you ever considered using scratchboard? It's great fun to use.
I loved using scratchboard when I was little! It's fun to switch from using black linework to white linework... it makes you think of things in a different way, since you have to mark the highlights and leave the shadows alone, which is the other way around from ink or pencil.

It was more challenging to make a drawing with black linework and only get to see it inverted until _after_ it was done. With scratchboard, you get to see the white linework _while_ you're doing it. With this, I could only imagine what it would look like in the end. I had to keep reminding myself that all the moonlit areas had to be black, and all the shadows had to stay white. It's like doing things upside down and inside out.
I've made some inverted drawings before, so I knew how to plan for it.
