Here's a second draft of my Bladerunner meets sixth sense comic. It is a serious comic. Still WIP as far as art, but i'm interested to see if people think the story works now (I've only made minor changes though). Also, do you think it would work better with the last two text boxes removed?

Stay away helm, its still Marvel-ly! Also nudity warning.

Modern artists are told that they must create something totally original-or risk being called "derivative".They've been indoctrinated with the concept that bad=good.The effect is always the same: Meaningless primitivism

It's not that it's Marvelly. I actually like the new art well enough. The problem for me is... manifold. I can't even begin to approach it and I can't explain it to you without offending so you I won't. I'll just let you know you've blown my mind -- twice.

I'll leave it at this.

See those books look interesting.

I think I have a shorter attention span than you.

They should make "of mice and men" with giant mutated mice!  :D

Shorter attention span is not the thing. You are very literal it seems. I can see it in your art too. Flesh is colored like flesh and a green shirt is a green shirt. You think you are looking at reality in objective terms but you are not really because no such thing exists. The nuances of a deeply human story like Bladerunner's seem to be of no interest to you. It is endlessly fascinating to me because your comics are just perfect satires of the vacuousness of modern art (and cinema in particular) but you are not meaning for them to be satires, that sort of commonly-agreed lowest-common-denominator vacuousness is what you seem to desire out of both your and external art. I really can't tell you if this is better or worse than other paths through life but I can tell you it's so alien to me I can still hardly believe you are straight-faced about these comics.

If I wanted to satarise comics you'd know. Give us a couple of days and I'll draw out this idea I have.

edit: "desire out of both your and external art" - what's the second thing?

I found a whole bunch of old art that I had in storage after college... lots of comic pages. I'd completely forgotten about this one. I gave the lettering a digital facelift so it'd be legible (I don't have the best handwriting  :-[)

I mild from suffer dislexia.

I've been working on some 3D models for my portfolio. I'm finished this model almost completely I'm just finishing rigging him. (having some rotation problems in his hands though  :mean:)
I got bored part way through and wanted to make something awesome looking. And so I share it with you!

My favorite part is the boots. MAN I love those DAMN boots.
