Robin Hood
A single image taken from the Robin Hood foundation animated comic, using their rendition of Robin Hood. As I explain in detail in the actual panel post, working on an animated comic takes much forethought, because you may wish to animate certain objects in the final animation, however, if things aren’t already detached or broken apart, as in the hand or the cape seen here, it may be much harder to animate them while still attached to a character. Anything that moves you may want to draw separate. If it’s not, you’ll be left with a void space, or lines that don’t...
Read MoreRobin Hood Panel
W ork done on an animated comic in conjunction with Studio Mercenary, and Sole Suspect studios, for the Robin Hood foundation located in New York city. Looking at the final line work here you may be a bit confused as to what is actually going on and why some things are transparent. If you are at all familiar with animated comics you can understand the complexity that is involved. For instance, what you are actually looking at is three separate layers all placed together to give you the full view of the panel. The layers are separated into background, mid-ground, and foreground; and...

Read MoreMidnight Dreams sketches
U sing images from other pages by Mike S. Miller on Shakespeare’s, “A Mid-Summers Night Dream,” mobile comic; Eric did test art for the project creating a nice collage of characters. Recreating the detailed yet simplistic rendering style that Mike is known for, Eric focused on the detail lines that give each element its own texture and feel. The tree for instance and the running maiden’s dress all have certain textures and defining lines that distinguish them from other objects. Representation is the key to any good artists arsenal. Using only lines on a page, are...
