There's only one slot left on my commission list! Snap it up before January 25th to be in with a chance to win a digital copy of Astonishing Times Vol. 1
Contact @art_geoff to book!
Maybe this last one will be a copics commission? I'm itching to break out the colours again...
The three conflicting framings of Infinite are intended to give three different impressions of the man and leave the reader wondering which, if any, is accurate.
I had fun exploring framing and how it can alter the impression of a character. If you’re a comic artist, try it out!
Anyway, back to the topic.
Here we see how Kokin and Noah both view Infinite in the same moment: notice the change in body language between panels 1 and 3; Infinite is almost lit brighter in Noah’s POV, as we’re viewing him through rose tinted lenses. Always looking up at him.
First off is Gold Rush: a friend and partner of Infinite’s for years, and a legend in his own right, Gold Rush sees himself as Infinite’s equal and is treated as such by his friend.
They’re framed at a similar eye level (literally seeing eye to eye) and equal in size/importance.
Let’s have a #fridayfollow for one of my longest time collaborators @ArtOfTimBrown
A top class colourist, hard working teammate and great guy, Tim’s been doing some tremendous work lately so give him a follow, or hit him up if you have any projects needing a colourist! #FF
I’m not a fan of repeating panels unless they serve a purpose, and, here, I did it to show how little effort Kokin put in to neutralising this threat.
And he literally expends no energy: Kokin is the static element of those two panels.
And then we flip the momentum with these two quick panels of Kokin easily dispatching cop #2 with the taser built into his sword hilt.
It’s - hopefully - an unexpected twist.
For instance, this panel isn’t really necessary - I’m not even sure the script called for another angle of Kokin’s predicament - but I wanted this moment to feel cinematic. Really drag it out.
And Noah is the focus because I want the reader to empathise with his fear for Kokin.
