So, I was digging through my comics for inspirational material to feed
my muse, and I found one book that was particularly interesting, that reminded
me of the storytelling style I use with End Times: The Red Star. The compositional structure and storytelling
structure is similar not only to my comics, but my illustrations themselves.
Mine don't look as pretty as The Red Star,
but the approach and flow of the competition is similar, where images jump off
the page, and they're so big and colossal they can barely be contained by more than
1 to 2 or 4 panels a page. But I love the "Give yourself some personal
space and don't conform to that crappy "tiny panel structure" that's
all the rage in comics and manga these days. I HATE Small art, and I HATE small
comics. I also really, REALLY HATE most overtly small or miniature panels. They
look so crappy, like the artist never bothered to outgrow the thumbnail and
storyboard stage. Needless to say I'll be buying more copies and books of this
The Red Star series, in hopes to get a better sense of how it tells and
narrates its stories, in an "Adult Storybook 'Only One Image or a small
bit Per Page' Style".
