Comic Info

Seekers is a fantasy love story with healthy doses of humour, action and horror. Check out my other sections for artwork, playable Seekers for Sims1 etc. My forums are the best place to comment or discuss the comic, and it's also where I post special news.
Parental Guidance: Contains nudity, sexual themes, violence and occasional swearing. Suitable for ages 15+, I'd say.
A new page goes online every Sunday and an extra page whenever the donation bar is full.

FAQ

What kind of comic is this?

It's supposed to be a manga actually. I used Japanese guidelines for drawing comics to the best of my abilites, including the use of speed lines and using shades of gray instead of drawing full colour.

I started out with quills, then switched to a Rotring Rapidoliner and finally ended up with artist ink pens when Rapidoliners went out of production. All postwork, lettering and shading is done on the computer. I hope you like the results.

Each series is divided into individual issues (or chapters), and each issue has 20 - 40 pages, including full colour front and back covers.
Since I'm not from Japan, the comics are meant to be read from left to right!

I've got a great idea for a comic, will you draw it for me?

Only if you pay me well, and I mean fix pay per page and not a vague promise of sales shares.

Where do you get the screentones?

They are digital, I add them on the computer with the filltool in Paint Shop Pro. Try the Resources section, you can find many of the simpler ones for your own use there.
Recently I bought some books from the "How to Draw Manga - Computones" series. Each comes with 100 screentones on cd, ready for use in Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop. So most patterns come from those books now.
