Description
I wanted to put this up as it's one of my favourites from the first story arc - it's gritty and human, I think. You can feel the effort!Best,

It is intense! It is amazing how a vertical scene could be taken and placed horizontally to capture the same effect, that is to show height, to show the conflict and then the demise. Well done!

I just recently started trying to ink traditionally and from what I've been learning, you are the man. I don't know how you manage to put out a comic with as much detail as you do and never let the quality slide.
I love the emotion. I agree you can feel the struggle and the last 4 panels really bring the desperate fight home. Some mad story telling skillz there too.

lol this seams so much lowsy but amazy and also like yo done it in digital ink ...
But the effort and the scene ........
And the result is prety amazing .
How much time in Hours minuts you get to do a page like that ?
And by the way how much you earn by page ?
JOKING joking ...!!
No need to aswer that one !
PRETY COOL VERY DINAMIC STUFF !
The characters almost get off the page ...
And i dont know why that locust guy seams to be smiling ...
Its just me or he will rise on a super gigantic crab !!! From that hole ...
Anyway prety intense the storytelling ....
in the art ...
very cool designs on the overall page layout characters position and the locust body ...
Anyway..
HAVE FUN !!

All done in brush and ink Rubi, no digital stuff here, just old-school technique.
Took a day to do from scratch.
Page rate? Not as great as you might think - it's comics! LOL!
Take care,

The BIG downside to digital inking is there's no original art to sell at the end, and as it's art sales that make up for the fact the page rates aren't great it's highly advisable to do it the traditional way - plus it's a dying skill, especially brush and ink, that I'm keen to keep alive.
You've seen that I hardly put pencil to page now, I do most of the job in the inks. It actually takes me as long just to pencil a page completely as it does to pencil and ink.
Feel free to take one of the pencil layouts from my gallery and have a go though. There's quite a few! 
Best,
L.

Well matter of fact what matters is what the fans see as final result ...
Technical details on how its made are so much nonsense to them ...
::::::::
You know i do like good "professional" challenges ...
Basically ... if you sketch out a 5 images sequence page "out of your god killers" book ...
And send me that sketch to our mail at rubyworksproductions@gmail.com .
Even for 5 euros the ink of a page ... in 30 pages done .
Its a professional "Author ship" challenge.
That you are achieving - and my studio also along.
SO It pays off ...
in the end .
:::::
Taking out a page of gears of wars sketch "copyrighted of sony and wildstorm" from your gallery and ink it ...
Its not a professional editorial studio Authorship good challenge at all ... as professionals are kinda taking 150 euros per page ink ... and our studio would be doing 1 for free - for nothing at all ...
Thers no use on their copyrighted things ...
For you or for me .
On that .
:::::
But for you as a author ...
owner of a recent published Novel book ...
Might be a good chalenge to take 2 hours of ...
( instead of beying those 2 hours talking on the net as you always do everyday ) xD ...
To pick on those 2 hours your book ...Read it some 2 pages ... get a transe in deep breath out of it ... take a random sequence .. sketch a page , scan then send it to our studio adress rubyworksproductions@gmail.com ...
Only took you "those" 2 hours ..
And you know that for you will be the priçe of 2 beers 5 euros each page ...
If you can handle stay out without your 2 beers and do 2 hours extra ...
That might mean that for the priçe of 1 that you earn here ... you can have 30 - monthly on your own authorship book .
With inks As good as you got here 1 ...
I think THAT could be quite good ...
And very entertaining ...
And productive ALSO ...
SINCERELY ... Tell-me ...
As 45 years old man that earn 150 grans "more or less" per page ....
What could you want better than that ...
Give monthly the earning of one page of those away ... and some like 2 hours sketching everyday ... out of your book ...
In order to turn finally Your novel book into a comic like you wanted so much 15 years ago ...
You might be very found of the whoole idea ... if you think that way ...
xD
SOO...
ITS A VERY COOL CHALLENGE oR WHAT ?
The Daily Page Sketch submission mail is at Rubyworksproductions@gmail.com : )
Be Darefull wise and ...
HAAAVE fuuuun.
Best,
R.

We're going to get in a place where we disagree again here Rubi, and I don't want that. I hate arguing.
Got enough challenges as it is, and I'm working on my next novel. I don't see God Killers as a graphic novel - hell, it's sold less than 500 copies as a book, and it took me ten years to write, so I don't hold much hope for it as a graphic novel. Plus I'd want to ink/color/write it myself if ever I did do it.
If you want to practice inking, please - help yourself as a personal challenge to yourself, not from me, to try it out and do the best you can.
My 2 hours online is precious to me (more like an hour, but hey - I jump in and out) as it's thinking time, and sharing time.
Hope you understand.

Well you know that what goes next will be long .... and i dont have even more than 2 on my launch breack hours so i will not be able to spell chek all this ...
But ...
Because i just want to help you. mindly a lil bit ... Before i leave ...
Maibe forever ...
...
No i dont agree or desagree in nothing ....
You have your ways of seeying and you have your live ...
I have my ways of seying, because of my live .
Thats the only significant diferençe ...
But as a moral never underestimate a poor guy that lives in the streets ...
If he comes to you asking five bucks .. in return of any serviçe you need.
You know - you will never know if that guy will ever even do better the job than you would - if you have the time.
If you just dont try it and give the 5 bucks.
::::
THAT is a productional truth ...
That selfish persons like you "and alot people alike" will never know about live .
:::
You do talk alot about how artists should never let others abuse you with lower prices on their art ...
But let me "this poor guy that lived in the streets and asked you the 5 buks" to tell you something .
Is exactly because you put a priçe into art .
That your art and production is so low comparing to what you should. But you cant even alone , because ... as you fell your art so low , and so therfore is yourself estime, that you are just concentrated on all that selfish efforts ... that reaaly will not give you in into nothing reaaly greath out of it ...
And yes that afects what you do as a producer and what you do as a artist .
Greath artists are the ones that dont put priçe into their art ...
And they can even do art for lower prices because their art in their true most effort art form is priceless ...
And they know that if they dont get the money from there - as priceless it is - they just need to get a chançe to show it ...
And priceless will become for all the ones that see it ... and that will pay alot more in the end - because of that.
Those kind of better artists also are not afraid of work with others ...
Because they know were they put the hand they will make the diferençe ...
And that diferençe will be notiçe as their own mark .
That even with others is there to be shown ......
::::
So you did a very good job thinking on all that . Congratulations .
Even if I would do Inked pages by 5 euros each page ...
The result would be so overwelming that "the comic could be yours" ...
But would be about me that they would be talking and would be the main glory of that ....
Was very smart of you to think of that ....
"as glory is so much you long for" at this stages of your live ...
Not just doing ...
And yes the inks do the glory to a draw ... no doubt ...
You know but i'm against one thing this days ....
Artists like jim lee they are getting all the glory for the draws ...
And inkers as good as williams what is their glory ...
people dont even notiçe on them and on their hard work ...
Cause the draw if all of that drawer ....
The other was just the inker ....
I would even let someone pay me 5 bucks for each page ...
in order to have a good oportunity to show things otherwise ...
Cause you can bet that if someone pays - me 5 bucks instead of 150 for each page ...
Would be my honor that would be in stake to show even for a low price who does what ....
:::
Well its your Decision "not mess with me" ...
"because i'm all bad mood and trouble" ...
Cheers on all that ...
.. but productively very sad for you.
You know ...
If you dont give yourself to loose ... to others ...
You will never win ...
Because you will never know how to win by a better example .
And loosing does that .
Even friends that you are not able to lose first , they will never be real friends ...
Just superficial ones thats all.
But within the tide of meeting new persons all over ...
That could be friends - no matter what ...
Even on the productive side ...
Because that kind of friends matter ....
Others ... not that much ...
You can have alot of friends to cheer you up ...
But one or two to produce with ...
You can be a chery cherishfull guy with alot of friends ...
But not many will got the guts to ... call you aside a,d talk with you one or two realities you maibe are needing to learn about live ...
because they are afraid to loose your contact and no matter if you screw yourself ...
They will always put warm water on your way for you to keep dreaming in irrealities ...
Few will be the ones that will be able to even lose yourself ... if need in order to give a buket of coold water and wake you up about something ...
Thats were sometimes you find people that are real ...
In betwen the Ghosts that just wander around to get a better part of you ....
But in betwen discovering who is a good ghost and who is a bad ghost and who is real even if desguised of ghost ... around you in live ...
You know ....
There are things OPORTUNITIES that sometimes we get the chance of ...
And you should not be afraid or be selfish or think twiçe .
Again you lost here a big chançe . To trial something that could be benefical to you ....
I understand that thing of "i want to do all by myself" you want to be so proud of having or you prefer not having at all ...
But to be proud of something you did alone ... is alot more empty in the end ...
Than to do something with someone that was reaaly needing help .
As much you do all things alone and on yourself ...
more alone you will fell yourself in the end of all.
I understand that i'm seying a very poor and selfish man on front of me that the more he cant help, he will not be helped to better from its state at all.
:::
xD
Its very cool the way as i think isnt that xD
::::
Well much sincerely dude ,
About myself ...
I can only work with people that are able to face me .. and get intact "no matter what" ...
People i had tested all out we have seen that on a very streched contact that resisted all pushs and all everything
As you know me - i dont think i would be ever able to work with anyone at all ...
( expecialy because i dont think they deserve me ... as you might not been deserved of that ) ...
So i was just putting that how much in test in here ...
Its cool also to see ...
What people are made of also .
With this litle test ...
That i would pay to see better ..
Ho is who ...
You know ..
One thing is "talks" another thing is "actions" ...
::::
And i do think you talk alot , you write alot , you draw and ink and paint alot ...
Thers alot of things you are able of ...
But there is something that reaaly lacks on you .
...
You are too much self centered .
That could be a good thing .
But a very bad thing also ...
:::
No you cant change , or better that "your your yours " way ...
That can make you so greath ...
... but way too much litle so many times.
::
Some you win and some others you lose.
And i think you loosed me right here right now .
Not because not going on the chalenge ...
But expecialy because not beying creative enouph to from the openings "try to help" somehow ... get a better and creative workaround of things in order to help things out - see the needs and get some actions ...
Maibe you would be even helping yourself also . Out of that ....
But no .. well the much you dont get the chançe to help the needed when they need most - when you be needing latter you will not having ways to even help yourself ... to achieve that .
And more than that you will be loosing someone forever ...
And you will be more alone just with your helpless hand ... that even did so many greath things ... but right now cant even help itself ... because you dont trained you hand to be more creative and to reaaly help at all.
:::
I reaaly gived you all the chances for that ...
Even caled you names to see if you would wake up ...
But no...
You are falling on that selfish hoole again ...
And forever .. like that character you drew up there ...
When others try to hand eachother to survive ...
You will be falling ....
But funy thing is as that character outere is falling ...
But as you inked seams to be smiling ... on its selfish fall
...
You seam to be smiling at your choise to fall ...
Well lets see how long and what happens in the scenes ...
In this gears of hope .. in this gears of wars teater ...
But its strange ...
Who side are you after all ...
And if you have your side just ...
How many will be at your side ...
And will you survive to your selfish fall ? ...
:::
Well enouph noveling ...
I think i sow enouph about you and what you are reaaly made of .
Good bie and good luck ...
And i want to see that God Killers been on Graphic Novel . One day.
Sad that is such a closed and selfis Project...
Because you would be able of otherwise of alot more out of that ...
As a studio Produçer on my Family Publisher i do think you are not taking that well managed that production, and if you have low results out of it is expecialy your fault.
Things are to be DONE ...
When there is the chançe - Alone or with others ... doesnt matter .
You have been waiting and procrastinating way to much .
So what makes you so proud ...
Would be that ever good enouph to better you as a person at all ?
No if you cant better others you are not bettering yourself at all ...
Like solomon said onçe ...
"the mans sharp eachother, like steel sharps steel"
And let me tell something about you on that philosophy root means that ...
"You can have the name to be proud"
"But you are no sharp steel at all"
Hope you have learned something for your good, from this little one more failed moment pall.
All the moments in live are what we do with it ...
But not just for us you know ... for all that surround.
Those moments that surround you and you control and have courage to make them better or not ...
Are the ones that make you better or not ... in your live time.
As adviçe ...
Dont miss too many of those to be helping creative better
Helping yourself as to others ...
And helping others as helping yourself ...
Those are the greatest rules of live to mix with Faith and efforts in all achievments ...
Thats the way we can reaaly get greath achievments that we should be reaaly proud ...
DOnt miss the creative oportunity of helping others, helping yourself also ...
or else you will be soon missing the creative point on how to help your self better and also the point on how to help yourself better your situation at all...
Have fun!
All the best.
And i think this is a very long good bie now ...
You were not creative enouph to find ways to somehow help friends still helping yourself ... in actions.
So i dont think i could ever help yourself .. with words myfriend ... or with a silly friendship based in words and chalenges ...
No are not the best chalenges of live the ones that you put to yourself ...
Are not also the best ones the chalenges that you give to others ...
The best helping chalenges of live are the ones that wen you are chalenged ... you creative are able to chalenge back.
Even whole lifetime best friendships are based on that ...
If you don't have that ...
You don't have a good friendship at all.
Also deny uncreatively help to a very in needs friend ...
And you will lose that friend for all live ...
As a 45 years old man ...
You should know already all that ...
If you dont ...
Cheer up.
No you do.
Forever once more.
Gbie.

Well we are not going there ...
We are just finishing it forever its seams.
But one day kinds in 20 years from now .
Come back and read it again ...
I'm sure you will get amazing by how fool you were those days .
But i think you are still not old enough or retired enough or with enough defeats bending your back till the point your not been able to even move without help ... to start to see live that way.
We only see it wen already hurts and it is too late.
Remenber that you got a friend trying to warn you ( about yourself ) 20 years ago then ... ok.
When you are able to see your live tru the eyes of your father years ... you will be able to tell what you didnt do of so good or bad ... in order to not reach there . on your youngest dreamest days ...
Right no wyou can asume that you can forget with excuses of not beying grown up enouph things ...
Latter you will not be able to forget cause you are now too much old and its already too late.
But such lil more not so selfish decisions ...
That could do so much and you would never know .
If you were not so blinded on your own ...
I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK.
If you are good enough to have luck .. that is.
