Description

An assignment for Andy Kubert's Narrative Art II class at the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art.

We had to pencil and ink a two-page script written by Andy that essentially had two kids in their mid-teens in a post-apocalyptic-type setting walking & talking (presumably on their way home from some battle, or on patrol or something), and getting merc'd by some creep when they pop a squat and take a breather, what a jerk.

The purpose was to enhance our storytelling skills by dealing with a lot of talking heads.

Two guesses which artist I had in mind when inking this. If it takes more then I guess I failed at it.

The twist on page 2 was inspired by the short story "The Sniper," by Liam O'Flaherty: [link] It's a great read.

2H Mechanical for pencils, with a #2 Raphael brush picking up the slack on the inks on 2-ply smooth comic board!

Hope ya dig it.

well, if you're looking for critiques, I'd like to see some rendering on the mountains, the textures on the clothes and the fallen tree are so nice, it just seems like something is missing. Also in panel four, the black line down the center looks a bit awkward. On the bright side the mood and storytelling are spot on, keep it up.
