Coming back from a long well deserved holiday, I decided to get back to work, comiking.

 

Loosely set abouts in World War one (don't want to explicitly label any sides or battles..), this is the beginning 2 pages of a roughly 23 page one-off story about a soldier who due to unforseen circumstances, is given the chance to go home. On foot.

This is the storyboard, not the final pencils.

Yeah nice.

 

You gotta get the rifles right. You seem to have got the French one pretty spot on. heres a link to some more:

You need better lighting

Experimenting with post-op colour work.

woa, you are very talented chuc, keep up the good work, i struggle to draw a circle

The colours look good and it does have that dirty old feel about it but here's a little friendly criticism. What's the deal with the autonomy its not up to your usual standard or are you trying something different ? The only other thing that seems amiss is the amount of trees in no man's land for the most part the old photos and footage of the time show little more than craters and mud.

That aside as always mate your doing a top job and I can't wait to see the final product.

Nice man . The faces look a little weird, but I can't really criticize since I totally can't match that skill .

Depends on where you fight, that pic you posted is probably the remains of an open field, I have seen many pics of stretches of no man's land where it looks just like Chuc has drawn, the twisted remains of a wooded area.

Jesus. Christ.

 

 

Nice work man, that looks outstanding. I wish I could draw like that (read: at all!)
