MEET THE ARTIST for TALES OF DISCORD: SINEW
Hey Backers,
It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to MIGUEL JORGE (http://www.migueljorge.com) the artist on TALES OF DISCORD: SINEW. He is an extremely talented and versatile artist from Portugal and I am thrilled to have him on Sinew.
Here's a brief Q&A I conducted with Miguel so you can get to know him better:
Tell us a bit about you and how you got into comics.
I've always been into drawing and reading comics from a very young age. When I got to my early twenties I got the chance to found a short-lived comics magazine in Portugal. Later I started to attend comic book conventions in the United States where I started to meet people in the industry and that led me to the graphic novel "And Along Comes Trouble" written by Jack Briglio and to be published by Markosia.
What attracted you to DISCORD and helping to expand the universe?
I really liked the different take on the super-hero genre and the realm of possibilities it allowed. What excites you most about your particular character? It's the villain... What's not to love about it?
What are the strengths of your particular style?
I hope it's the fact that I have a particular style... In all seriousness... I think it's the detail I put into it. I really enjoy adding details into my pictures.
Who are your biggest influences?
The works of Barry Windsor-Smith, Neal Adams, John Buscema, Michael Golden and Howard Chaykin always impressed me quite a lot.
How do you stay motivated over the amount of time it takes to draw an issue?
I'm drawing comics! There really isn't a reason for me to lose motivation...
Given that there is no industry standard for a comic script what info do you need from the writer in order to do your job? Do you tend to like the writer to be extremely specific or do you like vague descriptions so you can bring your vision to the project?
If I don't have any kind of input on the story I prefer to be given specific instructions, just because I want to be as true to the writers vision as possible.
Do you have any advice for aspiring artists?
Always be honest about your work and when you draw something you're happy with, close it in a drawer for a couple days. If by that time you're still happy with it, then show it around. Be hard on yourself before anyone else, but always listen to others critiques.
