Im posting up these flicks so you all can see were im at and what im struggling with. Everything that i draw seems so generic. Which leads me to some questions about style, when i started writing back in... september, i immediately started doing insane wildstyles... yeah right, insanely shit wild styles. ya know, the stuff most toys go through. of course i showed my stuff to some nice local heads who basically gave me a verbal asswhooping that was much needed. Told me to go back and do the letters off my keyboard, do block letters, and work from there, well i did all this and recently changed names. unfortunately im at a total and complete standstill, i can paint, cleanly, any of the thinkgs that i posted. but im not progressing. at all, its the same old stuff over and over again, because i was trained that way, is it okay for me to start to add my own style, ive been looking at a lot of different writers with seriously unique styles. Hepos from 666 for instance, the shit he does is insanely clean and original, and it all has a certain style to it, the same tweaking of the letters, use of shading, 3D etc.
Now that ive got the basics, where do i go from here, should i sit down and just start busting out letters, see what clicks, should i look at other writers. comic books. for inspiration? Let everything i like fall together? Im looking for writers that know what there talking ab out *you know who you are* to help me out, and others. what exactly is a style, and how do you develop your own?
