(fan comic) The X-Files: Chrome-Magnon [pg 1-10/30]

With LJ's scrapbook as storage space I've finally decided to shut down my COLS (crappy old Lycos site) with its annoying ads, and move everything to LJ.

So, I was in the process of moving 'Chrome Magnon', the X-Files comic I drew ten years ago, when I realized that the scan quality really detracted from the artwork. I'm going to re-post the whole thing in shiny new quality. The resolution is pretty decent now, and each page still only around 150K.

This isn't a WIP, obviously, but I'm posting it 10 pages at a time so the posts won't get too huge. One thing: I'm always cool with concrit, only in this case... well, the thing is ten years old and with each glance I see a dozen things that I want to fix badly. But I won't touch it, because there'd be no stopping. And I like to think the important aspects, like story, storytelling, and layout, still stand the test of time (mostly).

Great art...so often when I see graphic novel versions I can't recognize the characters. And I love the openness of tehlayouts. Looking forward to seeing the next set of pages.

Thank you so much. I'm still really happy with the layouts myself. And it's interesting... I haven't really looked at these pages in ages; they look a lot more European than the stuff I'm doing now.

I'm out of town right now, but I'll post the next set of pages soon as possible, probably tomorrow night. I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the story as well.
