Lovely work.

Thank you! ^^

I love your new covers for your old comics!^^
Greatest furry art ever!:D

Hehehe... well, I was kinda lazy with the other covers. But for volume 4 and 5, I will do NEW artworks again! ^^
I'm glad you like it, buddy. THANKS!!!

awesome :D

THANKS

Aw wow that looks awesome! He looks terrifying.

Hehe, Thronos surely IS! ^^

New artworks for the other comics eh?

Does that mean you are reworking the covers for Circle of Doom and Freezing Storm, or whatever the title was for the Star Trek/Reptile crossover comic?

If so, I am looking forward to it, and this is a good cover as well, now if only I could read german I could read the rest if the comics :/

Well, some new covers... just like "trade paperbacks", har har. ^^
I will do new covers for "CIRCLE OF DOOM" and "FREEZING STORM", yes. ^^ 2 new covers! But... it will take time. That has a low priority. I just wanted to start with these first 3 covers and see how it looks.

Hey, most comics are already translated into English!!! Or you can at least find a script there, which has been translated.
I guess, just issue #1 and #2 are not translated yet........ we shall see.

Was ja mal richtig cool wäre, wenn du zu deinen ganzen alten Comics ´ne Neufassung machen würdest. Natürlich kann ich mir vorstellen, was für ´ne Höllenarbeit das wäre, aber zumindest den ersten Comic, der ja wirklich von den frühsten Reptile-Anfängen stammt, würd echt mal gern in deinem jetztigen Zeichenstil sehen

Ich denke, ein GANZ NEUES COMIC könnte so aussehen! :D Brauche 2 Tage für eine Seite. Das würde klappen... aber dauert immer noch zu lange. XD
Den ersten Comic NEU machen..... hehehe, klar. Die Idee ist geil, aber nun ja. Vielleicht IRGEND WANN mal! ^^

Danke für den Kommentar.

I think this is the best cover I've seen Reppy! :)

Thanks very much! ^^

Quite welcome :3

Gogo Reptile, make the guy bleeed.

Har har... he will "just" snap his neck lateron. Plain and simple. ^^ ("Gogo Power-Reptile...") XD

Heeees got a power and a force that you never seen before. :)

Remember an Irish grandmother's advice: "Neck and the groin. No matter how big they are, they all have a neck and a groin."

/obscure

Which means.....? XD These are the weak spots, huh? ^^ Don't worry, Reptile has found all the weak spots already... and will use them!!

Awesome work =D

This is epic! :) I really like the 2nd cover as well.

Thanks for the comment!

it looks great! :3

Not sure if it's the hard light manga style though even though the placement looks fantastic :)

Well, usually I place the shadings in about... 55% opacity. My shadings are usually softer and lighter, just like you can see it in typical manga/cartoon movies. BUT in THIS case, I have set the shadow to 100% - which is pure BLACK!!!! And it "swallows" some details, yeah.... and most of my line art is gone now... but it just LOOKS GOOD! ^^
And I'm glad you see it that way, too! *hugs*

Well you can try this which helps me sometimes. Hatching or cross-hatching can dramatically make the visual uhm..."pop" out more. or you can try/test little gray highlights. I know sometimes there can be TOTAL black, but it looks like the light source(s?) is/are coming from the ground below(?). Just my thoughts :P

-Are you really making a comic?



*drools over the awesomeness of ReptileCynrik's character: uh....ReptileCynrik*....must...do CAMEO for my work!!

The main light source is coming from above right (behind the viewer)... it is the MOON! AND you are right: some light is coming from below: it is the streetlights and traffic. ^^ You need to think about more than ONE light source sometimes... especially in such an illuminated city.

If you check my other pictures here ("Just for you" or "Ticklish Hero"), you will see that I favour the more soft shading style. BUT this here was an experiement. ;) And to place shadings like THAT allows NOOO mistakes!! So, it was a practise.

About the comic question:

http://reptile-universum.de/reptile.....omicsMain.html

I have drawn 6 comics so far (one comic has two parts)... with 39 to 76 pages overall (for each issue)!
This picture here is a project... an alternate cover for an exsisting comic/graphic novel.



Some comics are even translated and can be viewed in ENGLISH and GERMAN! But I am GERMAN. :P

And like I wrote in ya note: cameo appearance.....? Way to go!!!

Practice or not. I still love it! And i too favor the soft cel-shading. Although i haven't done it too much. It has that certain appeal that when one uses color it can really make the image come alive...more or less :P

The moon? Awww those are probably some of the best light sources evah!

About multiple light sources: what about if one or more character was outside on a sunny day? I know it's an obvious scenario but i have an inkling that light placement could be coming from two light sources.

On a sunny day, it's very tricky.
IF the sun is immensly bright, you have a few soft light sources but ONE big one which causes hard shading.
IF the sun is "normal"... you have an overall bright character BUT with soft shadings. ^^ Because there is environmental light overall around.

Terrific poses and, of course, handsome characters. But they look like they're battling in a modern city. What's Reptile doing THERE?

Hehehehe... yeaaaaaaaah, that is my graphic novel issue#2! Reptile and Thronos have been transported to EARTH! ^^

Ya know... every artist likes to transport his fantasy character to EARTH at least once in a while. So, while Reptile had to deal with the authorities and human there, Thronos just flew around killing people. Later, they had their epic final battle in the skies... between skyscrapers and streets. Just like "MATRIX - REVOLUTIONS"... but I did NOT know that movie back then (there was no MATRIX at the time)!!!!!

It was just cool.

Pardon me if I make this short but,

Somehow I think you and graphic novels go together quite well

Sorry if this is all I could come up with for now.

BTW,

It looks like this story involving you and me is going to be awhile.

PM me later

Hehehe... well, yeah... I suppose I would be able to do a WHOLE NEW graphic novel in that style. :P But another lifetime. XD
And don't worry about the story... I don't have the head for this right now, anyway. :P
Bye and thanks for the comment! *hugs*

Ditto here too though I wish you could share this pumpkin ale with me

kicks ass, Reppy

...oh and FAVE!!

^^

Very very cool, and the black and color cell shading really gives it that comic feel.

Yeah, you got it!!! ^^ That was the idea. THANKS

kewl. where you buy these comics at?

Er, you cannot buy them. But you can view them all for free at my website. ^^

http://reptile-universum.de/reptile.....omicsMain.html

But this here is an alternate cover - the original comics are much older and done with traditional media!!!!!!!! ^^

oh kewl!

wow, amazing pic, you never stop surprising me, i really will be happy to take a look to that comics :)

Thanks very much! Though... the comic is much older and of lower quality. :P BUT nevermind. ^^

nice pose the 'reptile' is in -) good work

Hehehe. Thank you! ^_^ It really doesn't hide much, har har. ^^"
