Oh man great stuff. The Stark/Destro scene is amazing- screen background and transparent Photoshop overlay foreground. Highfalutin! Another trick you can do for your screen "matte paintings" is perform a Gaussian Blur on the image which can make the background even more blurry and cinematic, another tool for the tool box.
Now let me talk a bit about a very arresting image from earlier- there is a scene where CSR,Hawk and others are sitting around a table, behind them is a window cutout and deep in 3D space is Flint. That image is really interesting and likely unique. A movie would never do such a shot as the foreground actors would be huge and a normal comic book artists would not either as 3 point perspective is real work and even if they did, would not likely have the deep in space Flint. Great stuff! And finally, if you don't want to go the Patreon route, I think you should seriously consider a GoFundMe for the Raging Spoon HQ sets. In fact, le Spoon should cut you a special deal as you would give him a great deal of publicity. 80k, 90k, 100k views is quite a bit! His prefab backgrounds could save you quite a bit of time which makes your life easier and lets the creative spark burn longer. And finally, I would like to recommend The DMs Craft on Youtube. He crafts terrain for 35mm rpg miniaturess, but his techniques would also be applicable for your sets. Last edited by Bubbavader; 03-15-2018 at 09:49 PM.. |

Great strip Samsson. I am actually feeling the sense of foreboding about what is to come next. particularly the Zook and Alpine team. Can't wait to see what Moon Knight is up to.

*** 7:15 PM EST ***
*** HAWKS OFFICE (credit to Rebelscum for dio pic)*** Hawk: With all the recent Intel we have, what do we know? Flint: We know that COBRA is one step ahead of us in every way. They were able to get moles into personal here in the PIT. Financial records are being pulled for Wilkes and Parks as we speak. They kidnapped the daughter of an Avenger to blackmail him into assassinating our prisoner. Flint: Speaking of the good Major, after some persuasion he gave us two Cobra Operatives that are supposedly in South America with a possible antidote. Chuckles is still on the loose Falcon: Thanks to your failed assassination attempt. Hawk: Stow it, Falcon. Continue Flint... Flint: We have lost contact with Doc and his team somewhere near the Canadain border and Upstate NY. I suggest we get a rescue team on that. Scarlett and her team just arrived and should be with us momentarily. And perhaps your friend Trakker has a lead. Hawk: Trakker... Trakker : General Hawk HW: We think we have a lead. Trakker: After analyzing some of the Majors Blood we found a component of the nanite that's manufactured by an AIM facility right here in Arizona. HW: Ill pull it up the location. Hawk: Ok what am I looking at? HW: So we know for a fact that this particular location shipped out a number of crates with the nanite parts in it to Dubai and also Wakanda Flint: Two places we have already had encounters with COBRA operatives HW: Correct SureFire: So what we have is a geek squad that manufactures parts for a terrorist weapon right here on US soil? HW: That's the short version yes. But I want to point out these aren't your ordinary "geeks" Some of their weapons are cutting edge. SR: He's correct. The military as a whole has been kept in the dark about the kind of tech they have. but SHIELD, The Avengers. We are well aware of their capabilities. If they have this material in-house. They will be well armed. Ms. Marvel: I can get a team of Avengers together to pay them a visit Steve Scarlett: If you're going to make a move on them. We want in. Baroness: Are you there? Destro: What DO YOU WANT? Baroness: Don't take that tone with me. Feel honored I am sharing this with you at all. Destro: I'll take any tone I damn well choose to, you harpy. Has Doom not satisfied you? Why else do you call? You take me from my work on trying to find a cure for my son. Baroness: OUR SON Destro. I did what I felt was right to save our child's life. That is the reason for this call. Baroness: I am currently with Cobra Commander. Destro: YOUR WHAT !!!! IF HE LAYS ONE HAND ON YOU !! ILL Baroness: Calm down James. I am here willingly. I have something to tell you. Baroness: Our child is safe. He never infected our Aaron. It was a ruse to bring us..me back into the fold. That bastard Zemo had his witch put a spell on us to believe it was our baby. Destro: He will pay..but what of the baby with Doom? Baroness: Part of Cobra Commanders grand scheme. He's more dangerous than I've ever seen him. Destro: Agreed. So now what? What does he want? Baroness: Our allegiance. Now that we see what he's willing to do, he wants our blind loyalty or next time it will be Aaron. Is Tony Stark there? Destro: Yes Baroness: He wants him dead... Destro: Why? Baroness: Does it matter why? Don't let your damn honor put our child in danger. Baroness: I have to go. You know what needs to be done. Destro: yes...yes I do... Stark : Everything good ? ***ROUGHLY 7:10pm EST *** Control: Talk to me Hero.... Control: Hero whats going on !? MK: I'm a lil busy right NOW control... TO BE CONTINUED........

Wow, massive update! I like how the Duke/Scarlett/SE trio has been less emphasized. Looks like they will have a chance to shine coming up!
Now a note on story telling- when I got up to date on the Initiative, I wanted to read more dios. This led me to check out the impressive Justin Bell body of work. Most excellent indeed. However, I quickly found that I missed the macro lens closeup shot you often use in this series. Even though the faces are limited in expression, the drama. story and compositions carry everything along swimmingly. |

Glad you are enjoying..Im already shooting next week

Still not sure what MoonKnight is up to. (But now I want a figure more than ever!)
I don't think Baroness is thinking straight and Destro must know this. Plus he's like F this Cobra Commander BS. Destro, Stark, and Doom need to team up. THE LEAGUE OF STEEL GENTLEMEN! They are all distant cousins in my Joeverse along with Darklon and Iron-Klaw. Great stuff as always can't wait for more.
