After the talking last Monday I took the leap and edited my website's design. I added 2 buttons on the main menu bar: one is my website email address, and the other is an "other work" button. I've added a page where I introduced my digital work and have posted 3 digital images so far.
I've been working quite a bit on my digital comics, and have been having a hard time merging the different pieces of the story together. I've tried simple uni-colour background, painting with a digital brush on the back, photo-album-like frames, lines which go with the pictures, and many many other attempts that simply did not work at all.
While reading Haunt #5, by Todd McFarlen and Greg Capullo, the men behind Spawn, and I came upon this:
It's a simple sequence of 3 squares, but they have no borders and are linked together so perfectly with the background. This comic doesn't have photographies like the digital ones I do, but it gave me the inspiration I needed to blend squares of my own digital comics together: make the background photo merge into a blurred colour related to the picture and interlink those with the other squares. My main problem with the digital comics is the redundancy of the link I use in the comics, but with this technique, every comic would be unique due to unique colours in the photographies.
