Ok, now I'm very serious, I need your honest opinion and some suggestions because now I can't move on with his one. It's the first page (at last!) of the Metropolis Project. it's horribly sketchy, I know. Architecture, perspective?- um, what's that, I mean- I'm the last person to draw architecture, not to mention to design something myself (here's my very own painful proof of what I said [link] ) I've decided to modernise it a very little tiny bit and draw it in steampunkish manner and continue the work of Erich Hettelhut- Streamline Moderne, lots of pipes, copper and other oversized watch parts whose name I don't know. Hate me now, you can start from this very second :p

And now, the question that troubles me the most- in which drawing style? I'll give you some clues with examples of my own works:
No.1- Please-just-not-this-one Academic art & uber-realism [link]
No.2- Mad expressionism :psychotic: [link]
No.3- Let's try real-like! [link]
No.4- Animated silliness! ("Maschinemensch? I chiseled it!") [link]
No.5- Wanna-be animated modernism [link]
No.6- Almost-like illustration [link]
No....- other suggestions

Pen or pencil?

Please?

Answer: whichever style you can consistently crank out without going crazy and/or getting sick of it.

That said, I really enjoy your 'animated modernism' style!

Nice condensing of all those iconic images.

Can I submit this to the group WIPs? I might make a Metropocom (my slang title for the project) folder for WIPs especially cuz I think there's gonna have to be alot while everyone involved works out ideas and I think they'll merit a folder unto themselves.

Of course, it's a good idea.

Cool.I'll do that now. I briefly got lost while wandering dA there (as you do).

This is sweet! You hit the nail on the head here of what I was thinking (this is the one we are working on together or is this just your own). You got the movie intro, the 10 hour clock (which is one of my favourite symbolic pieces in Metropolis) and it's not just taking the film from the cameras perspective.

You've got so many styles it's hard to chose. I like the mad-expressionism, or the realism works. I like them all really. Do each caption in a different style!

Thanks! Of course it's our work! That's why I was waiting for other people's comment, especially yours, to sum up whether my view on this very special Metropolis version is correct. I was also basing on your first page concept, it was indeed helpful to create anything at all and adjust the images.

Yay! It's an interesting suggestion - worth trying.

I inked two captions this morning so I think I shall update the image later this evening. Hope you'll like it!

I'm excited now. It's great to see it coming together after month of dreaming about it. So I guess if you wanna do the pencil/inking and I can colour and do the lettering and if you need help on any captions I'd be happy to help on that too. Backgrounds perhaps...

Are you on Facebook?

Hm, seems I didn't get your drift properly. :doh: I thought you mean something like a chain story- each person draw one page of the comic in his/her own style but everything is connected with the main storyline. Now it's too late because I've just finished :ohmygod:

Nope, no Facebook, Twitter, MySpace nor any other thing like that, sorry.

No no, I don't mind leaving this as is at all. As I said it's perfect the way it is. I love it. The option of having people collaborate on a page was just incase one person taking on an entire page would be too daunting or time consuming for some. It does make more sense to have one style per page as many styles would only interfere with rather than compliment eachothere. Awesome! The first page is done! Thanks for taking time on this. It's great.

If later on there's a page for doing perhaps we could work together on it though. That's why I was wondering about a Facebook page. We could keep in touch easier through that and chat and what not.

Aaa, now I got it right.
It was a pure pleasure to work with you. Maybe after my exams I'll try to draw another page(s).

If there's anything more to work on just send me a note or something, it's the easiest way, at least for me, to keep in touch with people .
