Creating a Graphic Novel : Art – Food – Photography

2011 was definitely an interesting ride. Earlier in the year, I got to meet Laura Vandervoort (a.k.a. Supergirl) in a recent convention. (She was as sweet as pie!) Also in 2011, sigmatestudio.com was fortunate enough to interview and showcase the talents of some amazing artists!
Thanks to all the below artists for their time and [...]

Thought this was cool enough to showcase! Not sure who to credit this one to but if you are the original creator, I’ll update this post with the correct acknowledgment. Until then, “Keep Calm and Call Batman“.
Update :
Found the creator (or rather she found this site). Thank you Gaila for this very cool piece!

Since it’s been a while since my last update, I decided to combine several posts I had been working on into one long post covering a range of different topics. The posts should be a little more regular as things get a little more on track but in the mean time, enjoy!
It’s a been a [...]

A rare and great opportunity to get some original sketch cards from Frank Kadar. This will be original commission (you choose the character!) done in copics, watercolors, acrylics and color pencil. Click here for a great opportunity! Frank has worked on many sets including Marvel Universe 2011, Marvel’s Dangerous Divas & Marvel Heroes and Captain [...]

A Happy New Year’s Eve!
Counting down to the end of 2010 and the start of 2011. A big thanks to all the usual suspects who contribute to this including Sean Harrington, Dion Hamill, Dean Juliette, Frankie Washington, Michael Bridges, Frank Kadar and Pasquale Qualano. (I really hope I haven’t missed anyone, please yell me if [...]

It’s a countdown now to 2011. Hope everyone has a very happy New Year! I’m very pleased to showcase the final page of the small project Lana I’ve been working with Sean Harrington. The final result was beyond my expectation especially with Sean’s pencils/layouts/colouring. The intent was for this to a “clip show” piece and [...]

Firstly Merry Christmas all! Wishing you and your families all the best during this festive period. This is the penultimate page (with the last page to come on New Year’s Eve). This is definitely the climax page (no pun intended) and there wasn’t really that much to write as it was mainly action sequences. I [...]

Action! Action!
Everyone loves action.
Only 2 more pages to go!
This page was actually very easy to write as there wasn’t much dialogue involved. I left a lot of the actual angles etc. to Sean as he can do a fantastic job with action sequences. I guess it depends on the artist on how much description to [...]

Unlike the initial pages, there is very little dialogue on this page. The backstory was already explained so I think it was important to get straight into the action. (FYI – The story was scripted for 8 pages so it’s time to build up to the climax!)
All completed pages will be collated in the below [...]

The letter here is more a foreshadow device that will link up the story in the end. As much as Lana’s cases are trivial and fun, they still have to make sense, right? I actually talked to the penciller Sean a little about of page, I love the way the sexy montage sequence turned out!
