yeah, i cant get it to work. thats why there was that other thread i asked you do delete. i am having quite a bit og trouble. ill try somthing other than imageshack.

how big is the image anyway? imageshack only allows like 1mb or something, is it really a jpeg though?

I'm all for stylized american style. As much as I like manga, sometimes I just cant stand their homo-erotic looking characters.

there we go
finally, the only place that would host it was b3ta

Thats more of a photoshopped picture, than an actual drawing. Still, some people do manage to pull it off well.

yeah, i took a photo and photoshopped it, ill do about 3 or 4 more and set em in a layout with text, that way ill get an idea of how it should look. blood will be bright red, and the only colour in it.

it's a personal preference thing from my perspective, but i feel like such a high level of gain and contrast might leave some of the more complex images indecipherable. without introducing a little more grayscale in between the black and white, my eyes get a little lost

i do really like the style though; it's something i've been playing with a little too and i think your piece's expressiveness is really nice

The style looks nice. I mean as long as you can tell what's going on in each panel it would be. But, with that kind of style, you can't make each panel very complex...or else you won't be able to tell anything. The panel you show....almost pushes it.

but it would be cool. I get a noir feel from the style.

In a sense, I guess it's a bit easier to tell a story using edited pictures though.

Kinda like Macs' comic, Pirate Eye.

the reason there is so little white in the picture is that there is very little in the way of tone difference, im wearing a pale green hoody, with a grey top, and im leant on a green door. i should be able to make the panels more and less detail by messing with that. also if i use blank backgrounds i can put my own backgrounds photographed seperatly in instead of the real ones.
but thanks for the feedback its helpful.

I like it.

Dark Horse use this style in many occasions. The black and white or Chiaroscuro is the material of choice for non commercial illustration and comics.

You can combine it with drawing and other techniques. Succeptible for many proposal and manipulations. I don't know the artist but his work uses one color and this type of images for his compositions.
