Black+White

UPDATED EVERY MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY. RSS:

	................................................................ Follow the experiences of Ashley as he struggles to survive on the front lines of war. "We were headstrong…We would fight with all our hearts…And we would soon forget the lives we had left behind…" Black and White is the end result of an idea that has spent years rolling around the the back corner of my skull. I am excited and honored at the prospect of a collaborative approach with the very talented BMB who I know will inject a level of originality to this project that would have otherwise gone undiscovered. -Dave Cunning
For me personally, doing the art for someone else’s writing always feels quite different than when I’m working from my own scripts, so when Dave told me how he wanted to go about the creation process I was quite intrigued and found myself having a bunch of fun when I did a sample comic. Dave has basically given me no instruction. Instead, I get a spreadsheet with a guide as to how many panels it’s broken into, just the dialogue and/or thoughts for each panel, nothing more than what the readers themselves will be reading, and from there I’m to go by how I interpret it. The other super fun element for me is that each panel can only have a maximum of 15 minutes spent on it, from the moment my pen touches the tablet the countdown begins, giving the art (imho) a very raw feel, I need to get across what I’m trying to show in the panel, and farting about umming and ahhing simply wont work. So, I open the panel template, read the dialogue, tune in and go! -BMB We hope that you enjoy reading Black+White as the story of Ashley Jones unfolds.

The war rages on!..

...So much so that we've had to increase the updates to 3 times a week! Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday you'll find a new strip in the continuing saga of the black vs white war, and more specifically the experiences of 'frontliner' Ashley Jones.
