X Graphic Novel Team - need info

Post by alpharomeo81 »

I am requested some info about the comic for a website and I wanted to mention the team as a source of inspiration, but I don’t have info. Who they are, where they are, anything that I could post. Could you please post a brief description.

The Graphic Novel Team is made up of Avis (2D Artist and supporting 3D models), Acid (Story), RustiSwords (Concept art), and myself (3D sets, ships and effects).

You can see a whole list of credits at the end of chapter 1, which is available here

Anything else you need?

Are you from Europe? I don't need an address just a general location. I was thinking about saying that you were "an european group who met here as fans of a game and gathered talents to create a flash digital comic that could be downloaded from the net"

I don't have a copy of the poster for the comic at hand, only this picture that I made as contribution for Museo del Niño (Kid's museum) in my country, because they were decorating the hall with Mazinger Z.

Here is a small version of the pic I made...

Ive submitted the info on the X team. I remarked that I based my comic on the concept of digital comic you did and added the URL of chapter 1, so people could download and compare.

There are differences, it will be evident and it will also be evident that we have different styles and different approaches. One thing I liked about chapter 1 was that characters weren't outlined. Things that need improvement is the use of contrast that is evident in movies and inked comics. Fear not shadows and contrast. Also, text needs to be more readable and text doesnt need to be inside a text bubble. In my comic the bubbles use to be green transparent rectangles. But despite of this, the graphical novel is a matter of pioneers, a first attempt, a remarkable effort and the result is very inspiring.

I cant wait for chapter 3.

BTW, why am I lucky?
