Mike Mignola — Creative Networks — OUGD603

To give Tom and myself a better idea of what kind of work Mignola does, by looking at various sources from his comic books to the movies to the animated films, it became clear that Mike had ditched the comic books for watercolour painting instead.

This prompted us to look at more of his experimental work, whether it be the recent watercolours:

Or even earlier rough sketches from the comics:

One thing that kept cropping up in these pieces of his work was his signature. So it became clear that it would be very personal and effective to use incorporate signature within the end products, whether it be the animation or the posters. This will be discussed in a later, development based post.

To sum up, Mike Mignola is a renowned comic book artist and writer, he is the originator of Hell Boy Comics, first published in 1994 and now enjoys drawing and watercolours over his career driven comic book art.
