Description SO!

here is my second attempt.

completely hand painted ( watercolors and inks)

with the little Photoshopping here and there (lights mainly)


first thing you will notice compared to my last submission (which i think is shit now )
is that this time, i stuck to the script, and used only 3 panels.

secondly, i spent alot more time with the paint. i wish that last panel was a splash page cuz i actually did it separately on A3.

spent about 1-2 hours on the first panel (perspective is a bitch)
1 hour on the 2nd
and 3 on the last.

i tried to go from blue/green to red as you travel down the page, as things get more hectic for our fellow Jackie, to kinda help with the story telling.

i way prefer the layout in this...


also, just based of what i read about that darkling, is that he helps jackie out alot during the game, so he musta been the darkling they wanted in this, cuz all ive seen so far are people kinda doing their own thing with the darklings.


i like this page. still has the gritt i had in the previous submition, but its much, much cleaner!

subition by Justin Gerardin (me) ( just incase the name would be needed haha)

if i have the time, ill do a third one.

ill probably redo the 2nd panel. i dunno. its bothering me haha


(again....HOLLY FUCK I LOVE MY LAST PANEL )


check out my third entry: i edited the second panel

yeah! This one is way better, except for -as you said- the second panel: Red is not the right color to show the darkling hiding, and the high angle shot is wipping off the dynamism.

Looking much better than the first entry, indeed! I gotta say, in the first one's last panel, Jackie's arm really irked me And, this time, it actually does look like they're in a subway.

Since you're planning on changing the 2nd panel, I'd recommend checking the storyboard again. The Darkling is supposed to be somewhat away from the station (already in the tunnel, I believe), and not right over the firefight. Hope this little reminder helps.

Good luck!

It all looks badass as hell. The fact that you're doing a comic (even if just for a little bit) is amazing! Your style is so awesome and inspiring to me.
