Finally!


Well here it is. Word balloons, narrative boxes and all. Pretty amateurish, eh?

Sir Brooks comic version 3


Okay, it's like, 3 days before the July 31st deadline given to be by JJ, the cool cat over at fantastichorror.com, and this is all I've done. I've completely re-drawn the page with basically the same panels, the same action and punchline, but refined what I felt were stupid detail mistakes and such. I'm going to include word bubbles and narrative boxes in each panel, and I even have a nifty photoshop tutorial to show me how!


For those of you that are interested, here are some rough ideas of what is going to be written to accompany the images:


Panel 1: Narrative box - "Zombies are a stupid, putrid lot. They shuffle about, walking into trees and tripping over rocks, barely aware of their hunger..."

Panel 2: Narrative box - "...Once they catch your scent though..."

Overlay word (Zombie) - "SNIFF"

Panel 3: Narrative box - "...They're relentless."

Word balloon (Sir Brooks) - "Come on, you bastard"

Panel 4: Narrative box - "Luckily for me, I'm well equipped..."

Panel 5: Narrative box - "...well trained..."

Panel 6: Narrative box - "...and I have a fair bit of experience in dealing with these abominations."

Panel 7: Narrative box - "Their timing could be better, though..."

Word Balloon (Sir Brooks) - "Come on..."

Sir Brooks, comic version 2


Okay, so fantastichorror.com has asked for a page of Sir Brooks in action, and my being the hyper, self-loathing over-reviewer that I am, I drew the same thing over and over again. There was always a panel that wasn't right. Always a detail that kinda smelled funny.


I think the first one is down below somewhere, but here is attempt #2.
