Bud Backer Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 1 hour ago, 3j2m7 said: Echt !!!! 😎 cool !!! Thank you very good job and nice to read,...somes months ago I saw on the forum a GI with a cigarette butt are you also the author of this ? I don’t recall giving anyone a cigarette butt in my comics, but I might have forgotten. There are several hundred panels, and I also did a few standalone ones that were posted in the various screenshot threads, so it’s easy to lose track. 26 minutes ago, Sgt.Squarehead said: I've been looking forward to seeing another episode.....Cheers Bud. Any chance you could give me some tips on how you achieve this remarkable look? I'd like to try a similar comic-book style for the artwork in my CM:A Blue Campaign ('Abdul Gul's War'), to date my own efforts have looked pretty poor by comparison. Thanks, mate. Glad you enjoy it. Tips? Well I read a number of books by professionals like Wil Eisner, and did a lot of research. Being an avid lover of Donald Duck and Tintin helped too, I found inspiration there. And then there is practice, practice, practice. I’ve done a lot of writing long before I even attempted making my first comic. There is no “right” way to do it. And it’s very time consuming. Takes me about a full work day to do 3 panels, for a frame of reference on what’s involved. Best tip I can give you: find a style you really like, and then experiment with adapting it to make your own style. I love Tintin, but I would not want my comics to look like a Tintin Knock-off. And I don’t just mean graphics, but your own humour in the writing, or the situations you present. It’s easiest when you try to be you and not someone else. Not a bad start, by the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only done the one because frankly, they are very time consuming to develop.. they aren't simple screen captures, I could spend a few hours on one panel, hand painting, arranging figures from multiple screen grabs together (the leaders around the jeep scene is an example). I did enjoy doing the one I did and who knows, maybe someday I'll do another. Edited March 30, 2018 by Bil Hardenberger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
