Book Proposal

Working Title: Mac

Description: Mac is a detective living in a corrupt city. Crime, poverty, and violence run rampant. The "Suits" are the ones in charge of the city and they turn a blind eye to the suffering of the city's denizens. Mac can't take it. Not anymore.

Pics:

Interesting, Flash cut this off. I think the pic was out of bounds or something. Meh.

Visual Research

I'm really liking the look of the 300 comics by Frank Miller. His use of shading, colors, and copious amounts of black really draw me in. I'm not sure what method he does but I might be able to recreate the look in my own comics (given enough time). Frank Miller uses a very unique composition style, it seems to be loose and detailed at the same time.

I'm thinking of grabbing this book along with some sort of anime and trying to combine the look and feel. I'm not sure how it'll turn out but hey, this is art. Right?

Inspiration

I've been checking out a few different comics, namely Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim. I'm in the process of rewriting the story a bit, make it clearer. Here's some visual happiness:



I'll be using something like this for the skyline in my comic. I'm also working on importing all of my Photoshop stuff into Flash. It's a relatively painless process just a little confusing.
