My sketches/studies
1 min read
Hello everyone! I'd like to announce something...
Due to the fact that I no longer have a scanner (I actually haven't had a scanner since 2017), and also since I don't like uploading using the Deviantart mobile app...
I've decided that from now on, all of my studydumps/sketchdumps/sketchpiles will from now on be posted on my Instagram instead of on Deviantart.
I have a LOT of sketches, and it will be much easier for me to post them there than here. I already have several sketchbooks, old and new full of studies that I wish to share. I want to continue posting these so that they can possibly serve as helpful references for you all.
(And do not worry. I am not removing anything from Deviantart to post them on Instagram. Everything that is already here will remain here.)
So here is my Instagram, where you will be able to find them from now on:

SENSATIONAL COMICS (By Jordan Reid)

I am currently writing, illustrating and developing what i hope will become a long running comic (and possibly graphic novel series) called Sensational Comics.
Though it may become an Anthology later on, Sensational as it is now is a story about a mysterious and intense young girl with bizarre superhuman powers.
If i were to describe its content and genre, i would use the following words:
Superpower, Slice-of-life, Supernatural, Thriller, Horror & Action.
Being a comic that focuses on criminal elements and characters, it is a comic that occasionally features violence, death, profanity, strong language, blood and gore, disturbing or scary imagery, alcohol, drugs etc.
Now that that's out of the way... Our story begins in Minas Gerais, Brasil...
Hundreds tortured, mutilated and murdered in unspeakable crimes by one depraved and deviant woman. A woman with dissociative personality disorder, and an almost unparalleled intelligence that allowed her to avoid capture by the authorities for years and years on end, while working under the guise of an innocent schoolteacher. Like a sadistic game of hide and seek that seemed to have no end.
Jaqueline Rabenz. A woman so evil that even she considers herself equal to, or superior to the devil himself.
Her crimes were so varied that investigators believed her to be multiple people conspiring together to satisfy their perverse desires; And so she came to be known as the "Persona Killer."
Her crimes unbelievable, her skills terrifyingly precise, her immortal hunger and thirst fueling her, moving her hands to bring cold annihilation upon the innocent...
But this story isn't about her. This is a story about Jolyne Rabenz. Jaqueline's daughter.
The Persona killer is locked in an Asylum for the criminally insane. Being spared the death penalty on a technicality. The families of the victims, left unsatisfied, hateful and vengeful, take out their anger upon Jolyne and her family,who move hundreds of miles away from their home, to a small and quiet bed-town called Cecilia Garden.
Things were extremely difficult for Jolyne. Trembling at night due to the trauma she had suffered by the machinations of her mother.
She developed a habit of analyzing and reading people to understand them and theri true intentions due to her great paranoia. Her studiousness and love for reading, as well as her withdrawn and introverted personality cause people to believe that she is a snobbish and stuck-up foreigner. She is abused and tortured by bullies at her new school that are related to her mother's victims.
Nothing in Jolyne's life seemed to be getting better, she had become the target of the town, a person filled with resentment towards all people and even stronger hatred towards herself.
But one day, fate changed it's plan.
In a terrible accident, Jolyne's body is burned and scarred, predominantly around her eyes, making them look dead and villainous. She is hospitalized for months, and by unknown means afterwards, she gains bizarre supernatural powers, which she uses to change her whole life...
Jolyne has gone off of the deep end, and begins to take after her deviant mother.
Jolyne becomes a vandal, a graffiti artist, a brutal street fighter and a thief who uses her intelligence, savvy and dominant attitude to achieve all of her goals and obtain everything that she wants, regardless of whomever stands in her way.
Jolyne is a calm and nonchalant girl, who keeps to herself and lets her actions speak far louder than her words when she needs to; but she is extremely violent, vindictive, ruthless and unforgiving when dealing with her enemies and rivals, especially those unreasonable and stupid enough to challenge and instigate Jolyne, even after she has given them fair warning.
But towards those she considers deserving of her respect and kindness, Jolyne is extremely compassionate and gentle. An advocate for life and happiness, harboring a hatred for those who would shamelessly hurt the innocent, crushing them underfoot.
At her very core, Jolyne is a kind spirit, and a gentle soul with a golden heart despite her rough exterior.
Come read Sensational and witness how this young criminal changes and evolves to deal with the strange world of monsters, ghosts, black magic, superhuman powers and mutant creatures; as well as how she changes the lives of more unfortunate heroes and villains like her, and how they change her own life.
The art of sensational is characterized by its rough and harsh lines, use of lots of hatching and cross-hatching, and amount of detail. The art style itself is influenced/inspired by the work of artists such as Hirohiko Araki, Lee Bermejo, Mark Bagely, etc.
Examples of this (taken from episodes 1 and 2) are shown below:
My plan for this comic is to self-publish it. Having it printed and sold through Createspace www.createspace.com/
At the moment, i'm trying to make the money needed to buy ISBNs and bar codes for my comics, as well as pay for the printing costs, pay for editors and proofreaders.
I am doing art commissions as well as getting myself a summer job so that i can make money on my end to pay for this comic. If you want, you can commission for a paid illustration by me to both support me and get something in return.
Hopefully, i can get Sensational comics officially started by September of this year(2018), and i would genuinely appreciate any and all help that you can provide me with.
Every donation, every cent, every commission is a genuine blessing that i'd like to thank you in advance for.

SENSATIONAL COMICS, Art:
Sensational is a very rough and detailed black and white comic, reserving colors only for the outlines of the speech and thought bubbles of the main characters, as well as the covers and special artwork. This is a sacrifice made for the sake of being able to finish more pages at a faster rate.The art of sensational is characterized by its rough and harsh lines, use of lots of hatching and cross-hatching, and amount of detail. The art style itself is influenced/inspired by the work of artists such as Hirohiko Araki, Lee Bermejo, Mark Bagely, etc.
