    How to Show Deaf Communication in Comics?

    Yeah, that's what I'm aiming for, too. I'll definitely post some samples here when I have some to show, I'd love to get your feedback on it. And please post your comic here when it's done, I'd like to read it! =)

    How to Show Deaf Communication in Comics?

    Hey, that's great! Exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. This is my favorite one so far: That Deaf Guy - 03/30/2010 I'll try using something like this with a practice comic of Emily speaking sign language. I'll post them here so you can all tell me what you think! =)

    How to Show Deaf Communication in Comics?

    Hi! I posted here a very long time ago, but I'm not sure if anyone will remember me. XD I'm working on a superhero comic set in Amsterdam, starring Sofie, a blind protagonist who can echolocate (much like Ben Underwood.) Her cousin and best friend, Emily, is deaf. I've been struggling to find...

    Thank you! She is is my character, and I've done everything you see on that site- the art, the writing, the website, the forum, etc. It's a one-woman show right now, but I'm in talks with a French publisher to get it officially published in France. I've very excited about this. =)

    How do the deaf and blind communicate?

    Thanks! And yes, feel free to give me any ideas you might have. The story is still pretty conceptual. In fact, I have yet to figure out who exactly Sofie's enemies are- or rather, what she's fighting for. I want it something tailored to her personality, rather than the typical "bad guy of the...

    How do the deaf and blind communicate?

    Thank you so much, Ron, this was exactly the detailed sort of explanation I was looking for! =) The example you mentioned reminded me a bit of the animatic I made for this same story. It's basically a storyboard for the intro to the story, if it was a movie. It opens with Emily, the deaf...

    Thanks SG. =) Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I haven't read Emily the Strange, but of course I've seen her on purses and stuff. I do like that style too, although my biggest inspiration is Junko Mizuno and the Powerpuff Girls. =)

    Sister Claire I already posted this on another topic. Oops! I forgot there was a separate area for art stuff, I hope this is ok. =) For the last year I've been working on a webcomic called "Sister Claire." It's about an immaculately pregnant nun. Throw in a beautiful blue businesswoman...

    Sequential Art

    I'm a comic artist, graduated with a major in Sequential Art at SCAD, and I've been writing/drawing my own Web-comic (www.sisterclaire.com) now for the past year. =) I was wondering if anyone here is also into comics or graphic novels. If so, what are your favorites? These days I mostly...

    How do the deaf and blind communicate?

    I'm in the process of leaf-teaching myself ASL as research for a graphic novel/radio play I'm working on. The main character is a blind superheroine living in modern-day Amsterdam. Her best friend is her deaf cousin. I wanted to be able to portray both of them realistically- so along with doing...

    Greetings from a hearing newbie!

    Hi everyone! :wave: I'm a little shy to introduce myself here, since I am very very new to signing. I haven't taken any classes, because living in Brussels, Belgium I would probably only find Dutch or French sign classes. So I am self-teaching myself ASL from the books I have bought online...
