"I Am the Doorway" Project

[Grillslinger]

Okay...I'm working on a couple more drawing from IATD. It's one of my favorite King stories. It frightens me for the same reason "Grey Matter", and "The Raft" frighten me. The source of terror in these stories is completely unknown. It's not something we're familiar with. We don't know what it is.

I've decided that I want to do a full comic book adaptation of this. One draing here, one drawing there, until they come together to form a story. I've also decided that I would like to make this a DarkTower.com project. I waould like feedback, ideas, and storyboard from those who wish to participate.

Ultimately, I'll be piecing together what I feel is best. I would like to have several DT.com projects going all the time. It would be something that would bring the community together that we can have fun with. It would also be fun to put together a collection of short stories by Forum Members. Since I'm helming this one, I'll let someone else take the wheel on that one. I hope to see a thread about it pop up soon.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, everyone!

I must say you are a great guy, Grillslinger. :grouphug:

[Storyslinger]

Great idea Grillslinger, my feed back is yours

[Grillslinger]

Well thank you so much, Letti! That made my day!

Storyslinger...like I said...not just feedback, I hope to get your ideas as well. Even storyboards if you have a great idea for how a certain part of the story should be framed.

[Storyslinger]

My brain is your to pick

[Grillslinger]

Here are two more pages....the first one is finished...the second has a lot of empty space, but I'm not sure what to do with it...any suggestions?

I think the empty space is what adds the suspense to the picture, if you try to add too much more, you'll be drawn away from the main point

great work though

[Letti]

I am not scared easily... but these pictures about scare the hell out of me.

i dig the empty space. and i've never read this story, but i'm already terrified of it. Great effing imagery. great pencil work. i really like the shading as well.

keep it up, Grillslinger! :)

[Patrick]

I agree, leave the white space.

[Grillslinger]

Okay guys....the last drawing....I felt the guys head was a little big so I did some correction in photoshop. I'd like to hear your opinions on which version is better.

Do you prefer the one above...or the is one?

[Patrick]

Yes, better. :thumbsup:

Wow excellent work !

[Ikilledthecrimsonking]

wow grillslinger these are amazing drawings

[Grillslinger]

Here are a couple more. I figure I'll eventually shrink these images down to individual frames and use Photoshop to arrange them on a page. I've never done this before, so I'm learning as I go.

[Letti]

Do you draw them from your heart or do you use human models... pictures?
It might be a silly question, sotty.

[Storyslinger]

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Great drawings though, keep up the good work

[herbertwest]

very impressive!
please, continue :-)

[Grillslinger]

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Letti, I do a little of both. All faces I do freely. With hands, I usually am looking at my own hands for reference.

by the way, you say here are two more pages... did you shown more before?
do you show some randoms pages, or in the order you did created them? the order of your comic story?
I mean, do you post all the pictures of your project or not?

[Grillslinger]

So far, I have shown all the drawings. They're not in chronological order though. I've been drawing randomly from the story. The first one was on another thread. Here it is.

M-O-O-N, that spells kickass.

Thank you for the answer. I usually do the same. If I need a hand I watch mine.
My favourite "objects" are hands. I love drawing them so much. They really are my favourites. They are so nice... full of little details and deep emotions. I have drawn mine and others' many times.

And the faces... I admire everyone who can draw a face from his heart. Incredible. I would never be able to do that.
