I'm just fooling around trying to do the same thing with comics. Presented below is a comics grid, if you will. Each row and column is intended to work by itself as a narrative, like a mini-story. So each panel actually plays a different role in unrelated storylines.
This is a rough effort at best, but I'm interested in how far this experiment can be taken. I'd love to hear your opinions, and idea submissions.

really nice anand, although I feel a bit duh! with the second horizontal strip.
ReplyDeletethe second and third verticals don't work as well as the others.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - you think?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm . . everyone seems to have a different opinion on which ones work and which don't - very interesting. Dontcha love such experiments?
Anyone else on what works and what doesn't?
Bindhu - the second horizontal, I thought I was being clever! Damn!
ReplyDeleteBasically the scene cuts away from the detective's PC to a new crime about to be committed. The link, I was hoping, was the suspect's pic on the monitor.
Immense. Also Shtrong.
ReplyDeleteGreatest potential in this style I think.
Kiwet k3wl as an experiment. Me thinks it is quite clever and given some time will work out to be just fine. Better than loads of crap that they term as komikfs. Keep eet up. Shuddap, not that.
ReplyDeleteI l0\/e it!
ReplyDeletethe second vertical strip i didnt get :P
This was awesome! And thanks to your explanation, i understood 2nd vertical :)
ReplyDeleteI saw your other stuff too, youre too good :D
I think you should try superheroes. Something specifically Indian.
As an amateur doodler, I'm compelled to ask. How do you develop characters?
I came up with this guy but somehow, paper->photoshop is such a tedious process!
Surely you'd be knowing something, oh wise one
Coconut Chutney - e-mail me at anand dot rdx at gmail and I'll try to help with whatever knowhow I have.
ReplyDeleteAll others - thanks for reading, and for the kind comments.
Machan just catching up on some of your blogs. This particularly caught my eye. Quite arty ...but very cool.
ReplyDeleteBTW coconut chutney - Very nice sketch!
