Hawkguy fancomic: Afternoon Stroll

Hi. A friend suggested I crosspost my Hawkeye fancomic here.

Characters: Clint Barton, Kate Bishop, Lucky aka Pizza Dog
Notes: Gen, rated teen for violence. I don’t own the rights to these characters. This comic is drawn entirely for entertainment; no profit is made. Many thanks to neveralarch for kindly giving permission to use her fic.






This comic was also posted on AO3, along with half a dozen more comics (SGA, X-Files, Angel, Fray)

I don't know enough about Kate to tell whether she's simply an awesome sidekick or if she and Clint share a friendly rivalry over who gets to actually be Hawkeye, but she kicks tons of ass both here and in YA.

Go Kate.

I think it's kind of both, really.

I haven't read YA, but yeah, she definitely gets to kick ass in Hawkeye.

Wow, I didn't even know Ao3 hosted fan comics!

[personal profile] astridv 2013-07-30 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
You have to host the actual image files someplace else, mine are on LJ. But adding the image code to AO3 is no problem. That was the first thing I tried out when the archive got started.

Pretty much. (Except with sickles instead of guitars.)

The art is really modern. It's actually quite excellent. In a few years after more practice I could see you actually doing the real Hawkeye comic.

Thank you.

Very nicely done! Your art style is lovely, and tells the story in a very engaging fashion.

The art does look great. Its very Aja-y but without being too similar to reduce the uniquity of either. The story's pretty simple, but charming at the same time. I could get behind you going pro.
As for Kate, yeah, Kate does get injured a lot less than Clint. The only time so far she's gotten as banged up as him is in the Hawkeye annual, complete with a nose bandage.

[personal profile] astridv 2013-07-30 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah! I haven't read the annual yet; looking forward to it.

I'm happy you like the art here; thanks!

I recommend it, its pretty good. It sort of bridges the gap between Hawkeye and Young Avengers.

The art is great. If I hadn't read your blurb first, I'd have just assumed that these panels came from a published comic.

The one (hopefully constructive) piece of criticism I have is that it's lacking a certain amount of dynamism in the action sequences. In the panels where Kate's holding the bow, it looks like she's posing with it rather than getting ready to fire it. There should be more visible tension in her body.

Apart from that, though, great job.

Glad you like it!

I know what you mean re. action sequences, it's something I'm working on. I suspect it's partly because I grew up on Franco-Belgian comics which have a different aesthetic. That and my main work is in children's books. Now I try to come up with lots of action scenarios for my fanart to get a better feeling for it.

[personal profile] turtlefu 2013-07-31 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
No way, you wrote AND drew this?
Unbelievable. I could have sworn this was in an actual issue, the art is so good and you nail Fraction's voice.
I can't give you enough complements! I will be reading the rest of your comics post-haste!

[personal profile] astridv 2013-07-31 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
Nono, I didn't write it, just drew the art. The story was written by [personal profile] neveralarch.
Thanks so much for commenting, I'm glad you like it.

I will be reading the rest of your comics post-haste!

I hope you'll enjoy them. My personal favorite is still the Smile Time comic I created years ago (for AtS); that one I've actually written myself. I get hit by writing inspiration only like once every five years...

Thank you. :)

I know this isn't a real Hawkguy comic because it doesn't start with Clint going "... Okay, I know this looks bad..."

Otherwise, excellent. :)

Heh. Well, I did manage to work that in somewhere in the middle. *g*

Had me fooled there. I actually thought this was a Fraction/Aja story! Good work!

But damn, now I'm starting to ship Kate and Clint.

Best compliment ever. Glad you like it.

Wow. Just wow. Expect to get a lot of people asking to work with you.

That big panel? By the pond? Beautiful.

I *love* the art - especially the coloring. It looks like watercolors, almost - just gorgeous. You are seriously impressive, astrid!
astridv: (Default)

[personal profile] astridv 2013-08-06 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, I'm glad you like it. The coloring actually is watercolors, with some additional tinkering in Photoshop.

Wow, this is GOOD. Like, crazy good. Almost thought it was official if I didn't read the title.

Thank you very much.
