Helo i am from Serbia and i like to draw comics. i am 20 years old and i have been drawing since i was a kid but only reacenly i started to draw comic books. Here in Serbia we hava an anual contest for a best comic book. It is international contest and it is alweys a lot of competitors but smal space too put all there works so only some of them get throu. And i was one of them who went throu, but i didnt wined. Nonetheless i was glad that my work was posted. Unfortunately i havent scand it so i cant present it to you all but i have scand my latest work it is only a concept art for my newest script which is very big so thet it would bee a series of comic books i would like you too look it and to hier your opinion.
I am not sure about my english i hope you can uderstand all of this.
Well goodbye i hope you will bee mercyfull

Welcome to the Forum Imperor!
I saw a lot of your work before you posted this welcome. I must say, I was quite impressed with what you put together. Your vehicles and equipment are extremely detailed. And putting the people together with their equipment must be a real challenge.
I can see you have no problems in drawing a fleet of star cruisers and fighters. And you are definitely more advanced than me in drawing people, but you could use some practice in body proportions and shading techniques. Your figures are lifelike enough, but they lack a small amount of realism with their stances and poses.
If you take some time with the lessons about figures and proportions, I can tell you will improve quickly. Another thing I noticed is most of your drawings are lacking in contrast (black to white). I have that problem also, and am learning about building up my shadows and contrast objects within the artwork so they seem to come off the page.
Again, welcome to our Forum, and don't worry about your English, you are doing just fine.

Hello Imperor
I saw your pics and they are good.
The peoples faces are tilted (I'm not good in englisch so I hope you understand what I will say with 'tilted'). The chin or rather the part of the human body which begins at the chin and ends at the throat is to long.
@Eric: the contrasts aren't best in realistic drawing but they are the best in comic drawing, in my opinion.
Imperor: you'll learn a lot in this forums and with the lessons
I like your comic style because most comic-artists today are this asian comic style drawing people (I think manga is the name of the japan kind) and this 'manga style' isn't the best in my eyes. I like the good old style, in that direction you go!

Hi Eric and Mara-Yade
Thanks for the critics i looked some lessons and i find them wery usefull. People are always deficult to draw specialy female caracters, but ever since i started to draw comics i am practiceing on my people and thair movemants. I learned that contrast is sometimes good and sometimes bad for a comic book it all depands from picture that you drawing, this ones are just concept art and definetly not the best ones ( actualy it was the only one i had in a computer ), bat this images show only how the caracters should look like and what is their gear.
@Mara-Yáde
Manga style is wery popular, and i like it much and i have full respact for them, but i created my stile watching some old comic books who are wery realistic and because i like realistic and detailed drawings i embraced that style and adjust it a litlle bit to modern like comics. I am glad that you like it!!!

Hi Imperor! I saw your art. I decided to write you a quick E-mail to correct the English spelling in your captions. But the way you spell words makes MORE sense than the English way. So I had no trouble understanding you! However, we are stuck with tradition about English words, so for the sake of correctness I wrote you a message about it.
The concept art you did reminds me of the artist who is only part of a group that publishes a role-playing game. These are games using dice and sheets of paper, where players pretend to be characters in some fantasy or science fiction story). Sometimes these games were published by small companies, or sometimes just by a group of friends who have learned publishing software. There is always an artist to give some drawings to the game to give it some visual references. For a science fiction game these had names like TRAVELLER, SPACE OPERA, and game versions of STAR TREK and STAR WARS. All of these added extensive artwork.

You do have talent in the illustration sector that I think you should pursue. Your drawings are good, and I think people (the comic industry) would like to see a wide range of subject matter as well as colour to show your full talent. I would concentrate on expanding your portfolio of artwork.
Keep going, its looking great!

Hi everybody

The contest was quite good I didnt wined any thing, but my work has been posted and I am hapy with that. I am glad that you like my latest work. There is more to come.
Kim1963
Well Kim what can I say your nephew is one handsome man
I think that it is a eye look and beard that makes us so similar but believe it or not I do have a brother that looks identically like him, but I dont have his picture in computer, but you know what it is good to have people that looks like you oround the world, you never know when can it comes handy
