RE: Trial of Socrates comic - Socrates and I need your input again...
First of all, I have to say that the splash page is very impressive; when it came up on my screen , I was silently going "WOW!". As for the artists, I think they are both great; and it is indeed a bit unfair to compare them since the 2nd one has much more work to show. I think the 1st one (Gian) uses more fine lines, delicate and detailed; while Daniel's art has a more "comic" feel to it. I can't really choose one, at least not before I see something more developed by Gian.
Maybe use both of them, for different storylines -- that is, if your comic will contain distinct storylines.
Thanks for taking a look. It won't have distinct storylines, unfortunately. I will say that the main figure in the splash panel feels a bit off to me. One of my notes would be to fine up the details on him. Ultimately I do want to have less of a "comic" feel to the art. Decisions, decisions. :)
You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote!
Well then, Gian's art is more realistic and should be a better fit for recounting a story based on historical facts -- especially since you deliberately want to avoid the "comic" feel. His characters are finely composed, I'd love to see how he renders buildings as well.
