A working professional comic book artist, making comics on the side. No Ai! https://www.dustinweaverart.com/

I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone following me to watch The Prisoner on the Criterion Channel, but if you're watching it for the first time, I suggest not watching them in that order. A better order is: Arrival Dance of the Dead Free For All Chimes of Big Ben Checkmate The General A. B. and C.

A 4 1/2⭐️ Book Review for The Juniper Lodge by Dustin Weaver with Jeremy Barlow and D.J. Bryant from LiteraryLollapalooza.blogspot.com:

“An absolute corker of a horror comic from our pals at Image Comics with nightmare-inducing visionary art, story, and letters by Dustin Weaver, with Jeremy Barlow and D.J. Bryant supplying additional scripting. Oh man, Mushroom Bodies will live rent-free in my head for the rest of my life. Yikes! Highly recommended. Out now from Image Comics. Thanks to #NetGalley & #ImageComics for the arc. #TheJuniperLodge

If all you've done is convey the plot clearly, you haven't told the story. Tell me how to feel about it. In the panel you're drawing, determine where the drama is/where the humor is/where the horror is and put me there.

YES, you must hustle! If you want to become a paid professional working comic book artist, you have to keep getting your work in front of people -- But seriously this is the least interesting thing about comics. It's actually a great art form.

Often when people talk about "world building" in a comic, they're talking about the designs. World building is an aspect of design, but it's just part of it. World building is really more of a writing thing though. If you want to complement the designs, just say that.

When looking at a piece of art with a critical eye, try to focus on what it IS doing, not what it isn't. This isn't a matter of just being positive. It's a matter of not missing the point. If it's not doing what you think it should, that's your problem, not it's.
