assesment 2

These two comics were really good, “the witch” and “wolverine” I think they where a good read. The artist of these two comics obviously have a lot of talent they really caught my attention. His since of art is really nice. They are similar and different in a few ways, the way the panels are set up, the way that shadow, color and the setting of the story, I think where all greatly used.

Well let’s start with the panels, in wolverine the panels are more cramped together, I think it’s so you can see more of the action as it’s going on. The artist gives further detail by zooming in and showing more of the action close up and in large portions. Also they stack up the panels are on top of another. As you can see in the first comic pg. 20, there shows some action scene. How everything is kind of stuck together. I think that he uses this so you won’t miss any of the action, so you don’t have to look away for a second.  As for the witch the panels are pretty basic as pretty normal keeping you on track. They just go little by little, keeping you on track. It’s kind of different but they keep on making you want to read.

            Now let’s talk about the color, what do you guys think? I think that the color went according to the story. In “The Witch” the color are more dark and colorful at the same time. I think that this goes good with the story because witches are masters of the dark arts. Then magic is a playful fun thing, when they do some type of magic it’s colorful and nice. I think that those colors where nice and beautiful. From the bottom of 15 to 17 there that blue is so nice well that’s what I think. In “The Wolverine” the colors are kind of dull and the colors don’t really pop up as much. I think that it goes with the character. Wolverine is a man that keeps to him. In the ending of wolverine you can see that the artist using shadow. Mostly because wolverine is a man who do his business and nothing extra. The shadow is something that’s shady. I don’t really like the way the color looks.

            Shadow is a great way to show some type of suspense or loneliness. In the “wolverine” I think that the artist chose shadow and it is really good. Wolverine is a stalker by nature, so he uses the shadow to his advantage. It must be scary to see this big shadow with points like things showing. Your just waiting to get attacked, so its kind of scary. He’s just stalking his prey waiting for the right moment. In the “Witch” shadow is a really good thing. Seeing that witches are dark arts and people hunt them. So they stay to themselves and keep away from everyone. So I think that shadowing was a great thing for these two comments.

            Overall I think that this two comics where really good. They both did there coloring good there shadowing was on point and the way the panels where they did a good job. With all this everything was a good job and a better read.
