May Day at #IndieGraphicNovels. I am sorry to say that I am still catching up with the two contest winners blogs from DEMO Time. I am busier now than ever before. But no worries! Both entries displaying their techniques will be coming soon. Expect to see these award-winning demos here at dA early next month, in June.

Welcome New Members
Welcome to all the new members who've joined us here! They include... Incendia, TrollkaRuby, rawzombies, Sunny-and-Rain, LiamSkitso, Dtronaustin, Luckyeater, JoshiAD, DarkmasterN, christianizcool, joulester, pnfpn, whatzitoya, jochannon, stucklessportfolio, Camoclawpup, Trunnec, 3PU, HeadBrushProject, ARVEN92, Sezismundo, DanteReader, Huwman, MacDuck2, Clan-Omen, MuertoGrotesco and the cute and talented young Miso-San - a female comic artist from Russia.

Thanks to mstp for joining. His black-and-white indie web comic June uses Lynchian story and imagery in a fascinating way. The web comic is bizarre and, at times, also strangely familiar.

New Affiliates
Thanks to Pencilers And Inkers and Comics Corner. They are each great collections of art and artists. Do you know of dA affiliates that would like to associate with us? Please, direct them here!

Comic Conventions
So - are you guys doing cons for your original work? If so - please list your con and table location in the comments section here. USA, Philippines, Japan, Russia, Sweden, Africa or Mexico? Let's hear from everyone!

DEMO Time Winners@IndieGraphicNovels

:icongargantuan-media:

Our first contest is wrapped up, Indie Graphic Novelists. Here are the results:

First Place goes to DC Animator Heather Larkin for her rendering DEMO. Heather gets a professionally designed Blog at blogspot.com, dA blog entry, Cake (80 pts) and 960 points. See her winning entry here at her website.

Second Place goes to Russian comic artist and Indie Graphic Novel's Contributor Blood Rizer for her rendering DEMO. Blood Rizer gets a dA Blog entry, Cake (80 pts) and 560 points.

There were two out-standing entries and two only! So I've split Third Place among the two winners - adding about 200 points each to their individual winnings plus adding a blog for second place.

Please stay tuned for more contests here at #IndieGraphicNovels!

I like the cover and art style for PURG. Page 13 is excellent.

I think the text treatment could be approached differently. I think a font that was more hand-writing based and 20% smaller would add another level of detail to PURG.

There is no problem with your art skills at all. I mean, look at the cover for PURG #1! Book and page design are a separate discipline but needed for comics. If possible use In Design to assemble your book. It helps with laying out text in pages.

Here is a great starter tutorial for In Design at Layers Magazine.
