Drawing backgrounds is seldom the most enjoyable part of drawing a comic. Many artists dislike it, and might try to give it short shrift. But it’s an important part of telling your story, so you’ve got to do it right. Tim and Mulele discuss some important points to keep in mind when drawing your backgrounds — and a few things to avoid.

Alternate Reality – Episode #362

Jon and Charlie are flying solo in this episode to talk about Superman: Unbound; the new, direct to video, animated feature.  Tonight the guys talk much about how well they liked or didn’t like this movie.  Everything from the voice cast to the animation style, to the plot points of the story are discussed.  How does this movie stack up against all the other DC animated projects?  What do the guys think of the upcoming Flashpoint project?  Will all animated DC features take place in the “New 52” going forward?  When is Partin coming back?  All these answers and more await you,….. well except for the one about Partin.

Enjoy!

Alternate Reality – Episode #361

It seems that once again Chris Partin has abandoned the Alternate Reality crew.  He’s highly unreliable that way.  Apparently Chris’s real world problems have caught up with him and he’s got to go rescue his family from a flood or something or other.  So Jon and Charlie, never ones to let the grass grow under their feet, comb through the co-host application stack that they’ve secretly been compiling without Partin’s knowledge for just such an occasion.  What do they find?  Why it’s Darren Steeves from the Definitive Geek podcast.  Darren is a longtime friend of the show and he was more than happy to fill in for the absent Chris Partin.  Problem:  Darren hasn’t read any comics in 6 months!!! OH-NO! What’s Jon and Charlie to do??? Will this be the reunification of Darren and comics?  Will the new dynamic work?  Will the guys be forced to beg Partin back?  Will this be a really boring episode?  Stay tuned to find out.

Enjoy!!!
