Alexius is the creator of the webcomic "Romantically Apocalyptic". His comics are made up of semi-realistic digital paintings.
He places his characters in humorous and and far-fetched situations based in a post-apocalyptic city. Alexius digitally paints fantastic and wild scenery by building up layers so that they almost look true to real life (if such places existed!).
Alexius creates these paintings by photographing models in a studio, then painting from the photos. This helps him to achieve a realistic effect.
Here he shows how he creates a script and a rough sketch of how he wants his panels to look. Then he takes photos of buildings and models in his studio to paint from. He then uses the photos to paint his comic in Photoshop.
For my Masque of the Red Death comic I plan to use this technique and photograph people in the poses I need for each panel and then draw from them. This will improve my comic by making it more realistic and structurally sound.
