New Concept Comics Blog: From sketch to finished page

From sketch to finished page

The original idea was to do a comic book page in a realistic drawing style.
I started to like the rough sketch, so I decided to go for a more expressive and experimental style.
Inspired by Skyrim.

"Art looks great!"

Time Samplers (2012):

“Colacitti is a goddamn powerhouse, handling pencils, inks, letters and colours (...) and doing so with style and skill (...). He is a great, charismatic storyteller.”
- The Lottery Party.

“It's lively and energetic and it jumps off the page in full color. He (...) have me appreciating the style more and more with every panel.”
“I can almost bet that they're not far from taking their properties to the small or big screen, especially if this issue's illustrator is behind the art.”
- Comic Reviews outside the cube.

“The devil is in the details, and that’s where Colacitti shines (...) this is the magic of illustration and Colacitti does it very well.”
- Behind the panels.

“Nicolas Colacitti does a stellar job. Colacitti’s artwork is glorious.”
- Geek Syndicate.

“The art is brilliant, with an excellent use of colours.”
- 3 million years.

“(...) all I can really say is just “wow” (...) Nicolas Colacitti does the pencils, ink, lettering, and colors for this comic (...) one might expect some lackluster results, but every page demonstrates excellent layout, coloring, shading, and line work.”

"Artwork: 10/10"
