THE REAL SUPERHEROINES OF HIVE VALLEY

a webcomic, by Matt S. Law

"Weasel-faced turd?" What did sweet, little Mary do to you?

I've been getting a lot of mileage out of that original drawing of Mary Marvel turned into a stone statue. I can just keep cut-and-pasting the line art into the panel anytime I need to show the Mary statue. Fortunately, the camera drone is always in the exact right angle so I don't have to re-draw her. What luck!

Hey, I'm not the first one to use this shortcut. Marvel published a limited series called Elektra: Assassin which has a politician named Ken Wind (remember not wind like a clock, but wind like the air). I kid you not, every single frame of the comic that he appeared in they used the exact same image for his head (until the final episode where they finally changed his expression).

I mean, this was back in the mid-80's. This was before anyone was making comic art on a computer, so I'm pretty sure that the artist was just gluing a photocopy of Ken's head into every panel. What the actual heck? Doesn't that page look like a South Park episode?

Boilerplate:
The Real Superheroines of Hive Valley is a webcomic about a reality television show following the lives of seven public domain superheroines that all live together in the same mansion in the elite community of Hive Valley.

Created in Clip Studio Paint Pro on my mobile art studio which is a Microsoft Surface Pro 7+. Here is the time lapse video:

I notice some shortcuts in comics. Drawing each frame is a lot of work. You see it in animation too where a character leaves the room and you just hear what they are up to. Of course some will use the same sets of frames over and over for things like walking. With computers that got even easier. Now there's the 'AI' tools to take on some tasks. We are seeing another sort of revolution in art right now and it may not all be good.

I think soon all movies will be personalized for the individual. With AI, I bet we can soon have "Choose Your Own Adventure" movies.
