FLIGHT FORUMS

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3497/5769089318_602c66492b_b.jpg Dear Flight Forums, Please allow me to introduce you to a graphic novel you may enjoy. It is a tale of adventure and action set in majestic 19th-century Constantinople. It is about swords and treasure, honour, obligation, and tea. Deli...

This is so effing rad. FYI.

Hey, thanks for the thoughtful comments, dudes! fwiw, it's straight-up drawn into sketchbook pro in black & white, and then the grey business is added in Photoshop. I have one really nice brush that does the mottled effect. I thought it would be faster that way, as opposed to doing it on paper. Gues...

From BoingBoing.net : Here's a leaked, 125-page transcript of the brainstorming session that begat Raiders of the Lost Arc, a sit-down in 1978 with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Lawrence Kasdan. Spielberg and Lucas veritably fizz with ideas. G — What can he chase them with? What if he jumps on...

I totally forgot to share this here! Everyone should go check out Illyham on Livejournal , and there's an awesome Facebook group now! (Here's the previous chapter , by the way) http://www.tonycliff.com/projects/loi/02/650px/LOI_02_p01_650.jpg http://www.tonycliff.com/projects/loi/02/650px/LOI_02_p02...

Oh also, talking to a friend it turns out that the 3D in the theatre we went to might have been broken. Not sure if that's true or not, but maybe you'll have had a better 3D experience. Anyone know the technicalities of the method? I'm just guessing here: It feels like the film's projected at 24fps,...

Amy , re: the connection to the character - I had the exact same thing. Perhaps it's due to the missing elements that Kean mentions. I wanted more character from Coraline. I wanted her to feel uncertain and unsure when she's hiking out to the well, and I wanted there to be some sort of reaction fro...

*Sigh* I did not like it. Please do not throw your shoes at me. I have some thoughts as to why, but I'm not the best at articulating that sort of thing. I would say the film felt "flat" to me, and that it was missing some intangible elements that I don't know how to put my finger on. I am interested...

Hey, thanks you guys!

Yes, I have a handful of story ideas - now I just need a handful of time.

I'll post more here when I can!

What's up, Flight dudes? Haven't been around a lot, but I finally took the time to do up a quick, fun comic. It fits into the Illyham community, which everyone should check out here . Enjoy! http://www.tonycliff.com/projects/loi/01/650px/LOI_01_p01_650.jpg http://www.tonycliff.com/projects/loi/01/65...

Wow, pretty! Great work!

Small things at actual size.

Or large things, painted small.

...Unless you'd like to be able to share the story with someone else without having to finish it first.

I'd recommend picking up Stephen King's On Writing . Makes interesting reading out of a dry topic. It's targeted at writing fiction novels, but the principles apply across the board. No magic bullets, though - the book can be distilled down to a "you just have to DO it" message. In a more eloquent m...

Technically, it was "Ska-doosh".
