Comics are a visual medium, and work best when they use pictures to advance and enrich the narrative. Sometimes a script doesn’t do that, but an artist still needs to communicate the impression that there is something dramatic taking place. Tv and film have sound and movement to help accomplish this goal. In comics, we’ve got variations in gesture, lighting, and composition.

Made by Todd Lockwood, found via Women Fighters In Reasonable Armour.
This is actually quite a bit like I imagine the armour worn by Cassidi Whitefur and her White Guard: Silvery, flowing and very light. The huge difference is, Trarr don’t use leaf-motives, they go for claws, teeth, the moon and the snaky-dot symbol that signifies Chalcara. And well, they don’t use chainmail as material, but some woven kevlar-type Spider-silk stuff. Which works much better against bullets and guns.
Hm. I still have to suss out how the Trarr would protect and armour their tails. Suggestions for that? How would you put armour onto what’s bascially a boa constrictor growing out of your butt?

source: Less Tits n' Ass, More Kickin' Ass
One of my favourite blog’s lately is “Less Tits n’ Ass, More Kickin’ Ass”. It’s premise is easy, they take anatomically challenged comic art and fix it up; whith a concentration on female poses.
I’m quite happy I found this ‘lil blog – the artist herself is pretty good and the pose edits are solid and clearly understandable. Something I really need for learning how to do better.

The following is one of the best summarisation of the basics of cartooning/comic drawing in general I’ve ever seen. Don’t be scared of by Mickey and Donald, these comics hold up because they’re GOOD.
Please also check out the source, the Temple of the Seven Golden Camels – it’s a real good blog about comic strips and comics in general. And, due it’s strip nature, it seems to focus on the basics. It’s fantastic.
Artists who bother with teaching others need to be cherished.
