More comics (mostly short ones)

http://watercolourfey.tumblr.com/tagged/comic --  all in my comic tag on my blog here

full comics at the links

Mount Saint Helens

a short metaphorical comic, nice use of colour, interesting simple geometric style


TAZ fan comic

this is just a 5 page comic of a scene from a podcast, but has really nice use of panels and action shots



Just a two page comic


Elsewhere University

the artist has lots of similar short comics like this , here
all with lots of panels, often close ups and details (especially at the start or in creepy stories), and have limited palettes. the use of panels to put the words in is interesting

Rio & Evie (part 2)




Ark


a good short comic with a plot twist



Deal

lots of nice silhouettes


Contact


nice rounded panels, and use of space/composition

Zodiacs

very busy and full of action - lots of different panels

Bride of the Rose Beast

a fairytale

Icarus and the Sun


Icarus and the Sun  Inspired by Icarus, who dared to fly too near the sun on wings of feathers and wax. If he was in love with the sun, then this might as well be a story of forbidden love.

A short star wars fan comic

really beautiful creative layouts

Wasteland


Plant


Catch

wordless, so lots of small details

Ties


Azami: Book of summer

another scrolling one - all the images bleed into one another (unless there's some text in between)

La Luciernaga


overlapping of panels, and the chasing scene are really well done, very simple and clear
has the most amazing use of space and composition, especially of achitecture in the city, but was unfortunately taken down after ch-4 because it's being rebooted. you can download what exists at the link though.

Museum of Moss

a 9 page comic from the same artist- beautiful composition and use of space again

a one page comic by the same artist:
an old comic about a sad rabbit

Nameless and the Scientist

this is a long comic, but has such beautiful art and compositions. i haven't actually read it, only seen various bits


The Arrival

a really nice wordless story, which uses a photographic style like an old photo album, which fits with the themes of immigrants in an unfamiliar land, finding familiarity. nice subtle use of colour and tone throughout. (I wrote my essay on this last semester)

The One Hundred Nights of Hero

Another book, which has very fairytale style storytelling (but modern humor). simple but effective art style and use of colour, the kind of crude hand drawn look works quite well with fairytale kind of things? (also v nice and feminist)
