BACKMATTER: The original designs for John, Yona, and Nemoman. Originally Nemo was literally going to be Batman, but I decided that was the kind of surrealist high concept that would trample the execution.

(Plus now I can reprint it without watching my back for Michigan J. Frog) Image
A small thing, potentially of interest to process heads: I had a clear idea for panel 15, but my initial stab at it felt crowded and inert. I scrapped it and started again, pulling the camera back and raising the background, giving it the sense of depth it needed. Image
If you'd like some more content in this vein (sharp dialogue, people in masks having feelings, feet) my mystery/adventure series LAVENDER JACK has been running on #WEBTOON for nearly three seasons and it won't cost you a dime: webtoons.com/en/super-hero/…

Because sometimes folks ask; my profile pic is from Dynamite's WILL EISNER'S THE SPIRIT #12, in which I drew Brennan Wagner and myself as cops getting our lights smashed in, as well as Matt Wagner as a wanted crook, "Beowulf Blake" (which I thought was really clever at the time) ImageImageImage
Apparently Brennan full-on dies here, sorry B Wag, you knew the job was dangerous when you took it Image

All they have to do is kill The Arrow and Starling City will be theirs for the taking
People talk shit about Arrow, but they got eight seasons and NINE spinoffs out of "what if the Longbow Hunters was Nashville" and in post-2000s network TV that's a goddamn Mars landing
I'm biased because back when I was sleeping five hours a night unloading boxes for PC Penney and staying up drawing comics, those first seasons of Arrow were saving my life on a weekly basis (then again, it's not like Almost Human was putting any air in my lungs now was it)

May 2020 marks the 80th birthday of DC Comics' DOCTOR FATE, and it seemed a shame to let his diamond anniversary pass unacknowledged. I give you -- "WOTAN!" A modern retelling of Gardner Fox and Howard Sherman's original Dr Fate story from MORE FUN COMICS #55. Enjoy! (1/5) ImageImage
"WOTAN!" (2/5) In Fox and Sherman's original story, it's never said how Inza finds Wotan, and why Fate couldn't find him himself. In 2020, we've got plenty of ways to find people -- but I can't see Doctor Fate having an IG ImageImage
"WOTAN!" (3/5) The man himself. ImageImage

Today I'm thinking about American illustrator James Bingham and how @LINEWebtoon artists in particular might benefit from examining his compositions. His staging is energetic and his drapery is *chef's kiss*, but what it really comes down to is his use of vertical space. Thread:
The main limitation of the Webtoon format is the fixed horizontal space. Webtoons can scroll forever, but they're only ever as wide as your phone. I learned early on that landscape shots blip by in this format, because they're only ever as wide as, say, a panel from Watchmen.
But this is also part of what makes the format so great -- endless vertical space makes for tall, vertiginous panning shots whenever you want, an experience that's genuinely more "cinematic" than a print comic, because you're only ever looking at one thing at a time --
