How often do you get to see a life-size pegasus? This majestic Friesian horse received an awesome clip job giving him a stunning pair of black wings which he wears so well that we keep waiting for him to take flight. This magnificent pegasus’ horse’s name is Wout and his owner is Swedish equestrian Malin Hellstedt. The extraordinary pair were photographed last year in Gothenburg, Sweden participating in EuroHorse, Scandinavia’s biggest equestrian fair.

The Open-Impressionism of  Erin Hanson                            

Inspired by rock climbing Red Rock Canyon and the southern California desert, Hanson has since spent almost a decade painting the dramatic scenery of Utah, Nevada, Arizona and California. Erin Hanson has created a unique style of her own, bringing elements of classic impressionism together with modern expressionism and adding a dash of “plein-air style.” Her oil paintings stand out in a crowd, bringing a fresh new look to contemporary Western landscapes.

切り捨て

“Kirisute- cutting a person down (without a second thought)”

“Daijinomaenoshouji- small sacrifice in a great cause”

Ok, so this is a twisted picture because this expression is obviously referring to something normal, but Griffith thinks of his army as people he can use to get where he wants to go, which is the top, of course. So here he is using the people who are loyal to him as a staircase leading to the highest point obtainable.

Sky Ladder

Chinese artist Cai Guo­-Qiang fourth and final attempt to complete the sky ladder performance happened successfully above Huiyu Island Harbour, Quanzhou, China. A huge white balloon filled with 6,200 cubic meters of helium carried the 500-meter long ladder coated completely with quick burning fuses and gold fireworks which were ignighted when the correct height was reached. Guo­-Qiang had attempted the same perfomance in Bath (1994), Shanghai (2001), and in Los Angeles (2012).

Making Comics Master Link List!

faitherinhicks:

faitherinhicks:

Hey guys, I’m getting a lot of asks about the same things, mostly questions about how to make comics, how to “break into comics” (haha, oh dear), working with publishers, that kind of thing. I’ve done some blogging on many of the subjects, so instead of repeatedly replying in private with links to those posts, I’m going to do a master post thingie with links to all my blogging about how I work. Hopefully some of you will find some helpful nuggets in there! I remember when I first started trying to transition into making comics for a living, and there wasn’t much information about that online. I spent a lot of time wailing about it on a locked livejournal. XD But anyway, I hope my blogs help a wee bit.

Disclaimer: these blog posts are all based on my own personal experiences as a cartoonist, and the advice therein might not work for everyone. The most awesome thing about comics is that there is no one way to make them, nor is there one direct route into becoming a full-time cartoonist. The more pro cartoonists I meet, the more it drives home how different our methods and origin stories are. 

Anyway, here you are! (With all of these, scroll past the placeholder image at the top of the post.)

1) How I make my comics, start to finish (traditional penciling)

1A) How I make my comics start to finish, now with digital penciling!

2) Finding the art tools that are right for you.

3) Working with collaborators.

4) Acting in comics. 

5) The financial reality of a full time cartoonist. 

6) Making a successful graphic novel pitch. 

7) Adapting a prose novel to comics, part 1.

8) Adapting a prose novel to comics, part 2.

9) Very simple tips for drawing a comic that will be published.

10) Working with editors from a cartoonist’s perspective.

10) b) Working with editors from an editor’s perspective (by my First Second editor, Calista Brill).

11) On “Drawing Styles.”

12) Dealing with discouragement (this is probably the most popular thing I’ve ever written XD).

13) On Comic Conventions. 

14) On Being a Pro and Finishing that Comic When You Don’t Want To

15) How I Write My Comics

Okay, I think that’s it! Whew! The remainder of the Friends With Boys blogging archive is here. It has some other bloggings that aren’t advice-related (mostly ramblings about comics I like), if you’re interested. If you have any other comic-related subjects you’d like me to blog about, feel free to drop a suggestion in the ask box.

I hope this was helpful. Share and enjoy! 

Updated 08/12/15

I added some of the more recent blogging I’ve done on making comics to my Making Comics Master Link List (1A, 14, & 15), and tossed a couple of dead links. If there is a comic making related question you’d like to see me write about, drop a question in my ask box.
