Mindy indy is back with another custom comic I've done for a client. The client is actually my cousin who is an art teacher in Florida! She's also a very versatile artist herself. I had lots of creative freedom with this comic - she gave me a basic idea and just let me run with it. She wanted the comic as a piece of art for her, but also to use in her classroom as an example of what a real working artist does. I thought it would be encouraging for the kids to see a comic about how fun it is to draw comics :) This comic is also added to my "Custom Comics" page (there's a link on the upper right of this page), which tells more about custom comics, my rates, and more. Please check it out!
Custom Comics
So far mindyindy.com has focused on AER HEAD, the graphic novel I'm (slowly) working on. My freelance work has been picking up, though, and I want to share some other comic work I've done recently - a custom comic!
A custom comic is a comic specifically made about someone, usually as a gift. In this case, the client wanted one about her boyfriend for his birthday. The client told me many details about her boyfriend's personality and life, and sent pictures for reference. We discussed the format of the comic (3 panel strip vs full page, color vs black and white), I drew it, and voila: the perfect birthday gift! Both the client and her boyfriend love it and intend to hang it in their new apartment. There was even talk of being Action Alex for Halloween! This was super fun and I want to do more of these projects!
I put a new Custom Comics page in this blog's upper right corner, listing my rates and more details. If you would like me to create a custom comic for you, just send me an email (mindy@mindyindy.com) or call 734-776-6477 so we can discuss details.
