Hi Everyone,
My name is Scott and I have been creating and publishing comics off and on for about 20 years (mostly "off" since my wife and I started having kids). It's been a while since I have done any new work and I have been itching to get back in to doing something I love so much. I've got some big stuff percolating, but I am so rusty, I will be starting out with just concentrating on drawing regularly again, sticking to the basics. I'll post stuff as I get working again, but for now, here are some old covers.









I'm looking forward to hanging out here with such a great community of artists and writers.

Hi all, I'm Steven. My username is valandro because that's the first 'cool' name that I came up myself, haha..

I love making GN since young, but it died down once the busy world starts creeping into my life.
It's been a while since I want to make GN again, and it's very inspiring and encouraging to see many people on board in this place!

Here's a link to my past works: http://issuu.com/valandro23
Mostly are last minute work, as they're done for school assignment.
I'll try to put up works on image hosting sites, so it'll be a lot easier to post in forums, though personally I like the user interface of Issuu (highly recommended if you want to showcase your PDFs online!)

Just for a note, my English is not very good, haha..

Looking forward to an exciting journey!

Hey, my name's Joyia. I'm currently working on a spiritual fantasy online graphic novel about one young man caught in between a tug and war match between the powers that be, the earth and all the souls that lie therein at stake. I've been developing this story since I was 10. I'm 21 now and graduating from college this spring with an English degree.

I've been looking at the boards for a while now and have decided to join in to the conversation. Hope to post what I've been working on and get some insight and constructive criticism from the group.

Thanks. I look forward to learning a lot from everyone.

hey everyone - i'm mathias, i'm working from seattle and i'd like to introduce the graphic novel i'm working on, "the adventures of hope: the secret of the hidden temple" - check it out in the GN showroom!!

art and story for that book are inspired by the classic franco-belgian tradition of mixing humour with high adventure.

Hi,

I'm Megazell. I'm currently working on a GN. I don't do the art but I am writing it and owner of the characters I have created.

I'm really in the dark when it comes to printing and so here I am.

You can check out some preview pages of the book at the artist's website - Currently, working on my own.

Since those pages have been uploaded we've made a few changes - added shading and postpone the launch.

Here's a FB page but I'm not sure if I did it right because I think you need to have a FB account to see it.

I look forward to exploring this forum better.

Cheers,

Hi my name is Anna! Working on some GNs. I love reading all the advice and tutorials. I have no clue what I'm doing sometimes, but happy to be here!

Hi Anna, I had to say hi because your username made me smile – I also draw with a Bic!

Hi all,

I'm an illustration major at Ringling College of Art and Design. Been learning a lot from Jason's blog lately. Currently, I'm working on the script for a graphic novel that is probably going to take years to complete altogether.

Hi everyone, I'm Xidi, IRL name Mark. I'm 26, went to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville for Drawing, and am married with a 3 month old daughter.

I've renewed my interest in working on a graphic novel... I'm here after looking a while for a decent community of people doing the same thing. I have a main idea, and 2 side ideas, but the main is coming first... have a full concept, slight character work, and no name at the moment.

I hope to post some art and have some nice conversation with you all, nice meeting all of you.

Hi, I'm Tazio, self taught illustrator from Italy dreaming to become a comic artist.
I'm here hoping to learn from more experienced people...

Here's my gallery with samples of my artwork: http://sunamori.deviantart.com/

Hi all,

My name's David, I'm 32, married with 3 kids, and from Australia. Only in the last few years have I recently started to get this idea out of my head for a really cool story that will span a series of movies or a few series of graphic novels.

I'm not an illustrator or artist, or even a writer. But my love and passion for my story will hopefully shine through. I don't have a gallery, but you can see what I have achieved so far with another artist if you visit www.theflingermovie.com. You'll see a teaser trailer, concept sketches, posters, thoughts, scene snippets. etc.

Thanks look forward to checking out the place, learning some really cool tips and tricks, reading some of your novels and have some fun.

cheers,
David

Hey Everyone. My Name is Ann, I draw comics. Workin on a GN.

The name's Bibi, Mohammad Bibi. I'm 17 years old and the type of guy you would say "Wow, did anyone notice he looks kind of afraid of getting any older?" I'm currently a newbie to forums, blogs, and also graphic novels, however, I have a vision. Care to see? Well, it goes a little like this...
In a land not to far away, was a boy with long hair and glasses surrounded by a crowd. He sat behind a table with a Sharpie in hand, squiggling away along the front cover of a graphic novel called "Nothingman"! Almost in tears he remembered that there was a day he had an idea, then it became reality.

Well, that's me.
Check me out here: http://nothingman-gn.blogspot.com/

Matt here; I'm reworking my comic strip MADE in USA into the story I'd originally intended, but am only ... 2? 3? pages (up) into the 'real' story.
