Not really a panel, but this illustration by Alan Davis stuck with me all through my childhood. Didn't read the books til later, and the story wasn't as grim or dramatic as this image suggested, but this is still my all-time favorite single piece of X-men imagery from any book or movie.

As much as I like collecting physical comics, I'm all in on reading them digitally.. esp on a thick book where I have to bend the pages too much ;)

The first thing Ben did with his new strength was get revenge on the Hulk. The follow-up fight in Hulk #350 was even better!

This is more nostalgic than anything.. but I grew up on Gruenwald's Captain America run. When he first clashed with Super Patriot (328) until the end of the Trial of Diamondback (382). I didn't like the CapWolf thing back then (right after the Diamond Back trial), but kinda love it now 😅

Well even the greats had issues drawing kid faces, so I think we're good ;)

Hey Charlie, thanks for the opportunity to possibly collab! I'm currently on another project right now, but should be finishing up soon. Below is a link to recent sequential work if our timelines align in time for you :)

Have you used Clip Studio's multi-page format (.CMC)? You could apply that template to all the pages, save the .CMC file, and send that file to team members :)
I copy & paste my layers from a single page template onto the first page in the .CMC file, then just duplicate it as many times as I need.

Sometimes I have no idea what I'm going to draw for a commission, I just know I want lots of swirly lines in it. I think it turned out ok :)

Remember when cons were more about creators & comics, and not big Hollywood franchises? This is still one of those cons :)

Thanks for this thread Charlie! I'm Pao and I do design & illustration work. Most of my illustrations are just pinup commissions, but I mix in some comic pages now & then when time allows. I'm in a couple of projects coming up on Kickstarter but no links yet, I'll be sure to post when they're up.

I hate how Clip Studio limits you to a Bizzaro World of 2 decimal places for specifying comic page sizes! 🤦

Space? How about a special pressure-resistant armor just to go diving in the ocean? Some semblance of respect for the laws of physics & nature used to exist in comics.. 😅

☀️ Black History Month is a good time to remind people that over 30 years ago, the Sims brothers (Dawud, Guy, & Jason) developed their own national distribution network with 120+ retailers & individuals. Their debut issue of Brother Man comic that they wrote/drew themselves sold over 10,000 copies! 👀

This is actually a pretty cool comic to read if you're ever in a Rage Against the Machine mood. 💥

I loved my Cintiq 21ux for the more squared screen, but I've gotten used to "using" the more widescreen 16x9 ratio of my new Cintiq.
The majority of the screen is used for palette windows, file browser, script pages, reference images, etc
The magenta area is the space I actually use for drawing 🤣

There's no news that can surprise or shock me at this point. I'm changing what I can change to make this world a better place, and just hoping everyone comes to their senses before the dystopian future in (fill in the blank with your choice of book/movie) becomes a reality.

His name is on the original cover print, but for whatever reason they seemed to have removed it on the reprints or collected TPBs.

Surprised you weren't already using it? You're gonna love using the halftone options.. even inking with halftone 😉 *This example is just using the Layers Property
