Idea for a Pilot Comic Book: JACKMy first thought about this idea was actually picturing it as an awesome beat'em up game. Mostly it was from playing Battletoads the Arcade Game a few years ago; it had great music, awesome graphics, and some funny moments. You see, this is another reason why I should have consider an alternative minor instead of Graphic Design. I only I took Interactive Gaming Design as a minor, then I could have turn this into a flash beat'em up game and host it on Newgrounds. *SIGN*
[SADFACE]Anyway, I am going to stick what I know best and try to turn it into a pilot comic book project. With this project, it can help improve my skills in drawing, coloring, and scripting, and I can have something to focus on over the year. If the pilot comic is succussful and popular, I might continue with the series. Who knows. That's the idea with the pilot comic.
For this winter break, I'm going to create a final concept drawing of Jack (I've been doing LOTS of sketches of him), figure out a good pilot comic script, then hopefully start on some pages. Probably along the way, I'll throw in some concept art for the pilot comic. Also, I'll try to do some more Less is More Comics (Next: Tomb Raider's Lara Croft). Once school starts again in Spring, I might have stop drawing so that I can try to focus on my studies. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving next week!

*By the way, you know the two monster characters I drew, Scarabus & Undead Anubite? Those were some of the enemies I have been thinking for Jack to face.

Here's to the kids out there smoking in the streets,
They're way to young but I'm way to old to preach,
They know it all but they still ain't seeing the truth,
Just play my song and I'll show it all to you.

Anyway, I'm going to try to answer your questions as best as I can. It's good to use references and pictures to help create the story's characters, but you must also keep in mind of how to shape out your characters.
When I design a character, I start out by drawing a stick figure to get the right posture and pose. Then, I use oval and circular shapes to make the stick figure into a manikin, which will give form and shape to the design. Next, I work on the details and features of the characters.
When drawing the stick figure, you should also began to work on its proportions. Usually for superheroes, a person is 8 heads tall, but a normal person is about 7-and-a-half heads tall. Females are about 7 heads tall I believe. Children are probably about 6 or 5 heads tall (depending on age). Proportions act as guidelines on how your body parts align up with and another. For example. A superhero's arm is about 3 heads tall. It aligns up from the shoulder to the groin. The arm's wrist be about 4 head down.
I made a proportion handout guide for my afterschool class. If I got your e-mail address, I'll sent it to you. I also save some DeviantART tutorials as my faves if you want to check them out.
If you are going to draw backgrounds for your comic, you might want to do some perspectives. It's a little complicated for me to explain it right now, but I'll try to find some info on that. You might be able to search for some perspective tutorials on DeviantART.
When starting a comic book, always have a plan. Draw thumbnails, rough sketches of your comic pages, to help plan and change your storytelling before you begin the final process. The same thing for your characters designs, do sketches of them in case you want to make quick and decisive changes.
Well, I hope these answers have helped you out so far. If you have anymore specific questions, please feel free to ask and I'll do my best to advise you. Thanks and Good Luck!
