The script isn't that specific about the gesture it only says " clearly cruise each other." In all honesty, I didn't illustrate that parallel gesture intentionally - it's just coincidence. You also can't forget about the overall layout design for the pages so they're both exciting and individual while still consistent and unified as a story.Īfter "Tuckered" was published digitally at, Dale Lazarov asked how I decided to show that the young man in panel 4 of is asking Friar Tuck to kiss his hand in the same way Robin Hood kisses the hand of his mother on panel 3. Where is the light coming from in this scene? Where is the "camera eye" positioned in this panel? Is it the best way to show the characters? Is it dynamic enough? Those are all questions you're constantly asking yourself each time you create a panel. As Morpheus said in The Matrix, "You have to let it all go, Neo: fear, doubt and disbelief. I read the script and then I closed my eyes until I started to visualize the comics panels in my head.

When you draw sequential art, you are like a movie director of a comics page: you have to first imagine the story visually and then represent what you visualize with your tools for illustration. It was completely different from all my other experiences as a graphic designer and illustrator of single-image or non-narrative work. We paid most attention to "character acting" - facial expressions and body language - and less attention to the fine details we'd focus on the next draft of the art. Even though Dale called them "page thumbnails" or "layouts", the primary page designs were more like "concept art": black and white, rough and blocky, with only what was required for establishing the visual composition and storytelling design of the pages as sequential art. That the leather sleeve is reminiscent of the cuffs worn by gay leathermen as an expression of their masculinity is not a coincidence, but it's also not a disruption of the "reality" of the setting.Īfter Dale approved the nude and clothed character design sheets I drew to make sure they lined up with his script descriptions, we moved on to the next step of production: concept art for each comics page.
In my opinion, this attention to realistic detail illustrates or enhances the experience of the story as a work of narrative and an expression of gay culture. Little John, for example, wouldn't be likely to wear a piece of apparel without a practical purpose so the leather sleeve on his arm isn't decorative - it's an expression of his need for protection when he uses a bow and arrow. I asked friends about what they would wear as clothes, accessories and jewelry, and what the color palette of these would be because the number of natural dyes was limited at that point in history. I watched classic Robin Hood movies and researched narratives about Tuck and John. I began my process with the design of Friar Tuck and Little John, the protagonists of "Tuckered". I researched every aspect of its design: clothing, weaponry, tableware, vehicles, and even the topography and plants of the forest setting. The primary challenge of this project was to illustrate a believable environment for a story set in a mythical Sherwood Forest setting. I am very fortunate to have friends whose hobby is the historical reconstruction of Early Medieval Period, so they offered help and shared their knowledge. When you know something isn't right, it looks fake and takes you out of the experience.

Chain armor will rip your skin off, if you wear it like that that's why it's a big problem. When I play fantasy games or watch fantasy movies, I often see details such as characters wearing chain armor over bare skin. After I laid out the second page of "Tuckered", he offered to publish it and sent me a contract.Įven though "Tuckered" is a 10-page gay erotic and romantic mini-comic, it wasn't easy to draw and I took the process of making it very seriously. Being a reckless mercenary person, I asked Dale to send me a try-out script shortly after the project was finished we both were curious to see if I was able to draw a comic from scratch. Dale Lazarov and I first worked together when I colored PEACOCK PUNKS, a graphic novel drawn by Mauro Mariotti and written and art directed by Dale. Recently I had the opportunity to work on a mini-comic titled "Tuckered", originally written by Dale Lazarov in 2006.
