This comic was done about a year ago for a competition. The theme was "Quality ageing" so basically we had to draw comics about how awesome it is to be old. I had a pretty good concept but that was too much so I had to soften it a little bit. I'm not very happy with the result, anyhow the art isn't that bad. I looked at a lot of Bruce Timm stuff. Read it and feel free to comment your opinion!
Even if it didn't win the contest I got a surcharge for the stuff. The story isn't such a big deal, I didn't have time to translate it yet but I'll definietly swich this version with a translated one once I have time to do it. I think it worked out pretty well as a comic. I tried to learn some inking from Bruce Timm's pinups and comic art as well as from Dan Clowes (coloring was a thing I took from Ghost World). The task of the contest was to make a comic that shows the positive side of old age.
And Last but not Least a song that matches my comic in some ways When I Get Old by the Descendents!!!
Some pics of my messy room and sneek peek at the project I have to finish by tomorrow. I'm pretty behind so I'll have to pull my shit together if I want to do the six pages with the coloring by tomorrow noon. I'm inking with brush which is an extra difficulty factor. I prefered using art pens and rotring radiograph pens up until this point. I have to teach myself to handle this tool!
I'm currently working on a 6 page comic about retired older guys who have a blast doing hat ever they want to. This piece will be done for an "invitation only" competition, the first prize winner will get some money and all works ill be exhibited here in Budapest. I'll post up some inked pages in a couple of days.
