Art by Ray Dillon

This short story was developed as a fun side project for John and I to do together when we realized that it had been a long time since our last collaboration. John is a huge Batman fan, and I'm pretty fond of the guy, too, so we knew that's the universe we wanted to work in.

It's been a long time in the making, since we've both been really busy (John out in Hollywood, me and my ballet dancing).

But, depsite the wait, I think we're both very happy with it, and we hope you are too. Please, check it out and let us know what you think.

Oh, and you can also check out the progress of this project on the Golden Goat Studios message board. I've been posting each step and talking with people about the process. As always, my work is done completely (pencils, inks, and colors) in Photoshop 7 with a Wacom tablet.

Thanks for lookin'! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!! Please leave a comment (with your name would be nice). ;o)

Very Nice! A simple story, but with depth enough to recognise a still playful Dick. And I love how reflective the story is on the relationship between Bruce and Dick.

Great artwork. One problem too short. Are you Going to write more? CassandraD

#

Re: Read "Nightwing: Fundamentals" online now! Ray Dillon October 29, 2005 04:12 PM
Ha! Thanks. There is a very good chance that we'll be doing more. We're hoping it FOR DC instead of just a fan thing, but if not, we'll have to find the time to do more. Not sure when yet, as this short was hard to fit into our schedules, but we''ll definitely be looking for the opportunity.

Thanks, again!!

~Ray

I enjoy your online comic. The art is very profecional and the story is good but short. Your action scenes need more dynamic, that is what separates Nightwing from Batman. But overall I really an excellent job.

#

Re: Read "Nightwing: Fundamentals" online now! Ray Dillon October 29, 2005 04:14 PM
Great feedback. We'll definitely take that to heart and if we work on another story with Nightwing, we'll be sure to punch it up on a notch.

Glad you liked it and thanks for the response!

I was surprised to find myself engaged and thoroughly impressed. The artwork (especially the colors) really fleshes out the world. The writing does a nice job of layering two neat little narratives together. Very sturdy, Dan House

Hello Ray, Writing to say I really enjoyed the story. Tight artwork & the coloring on this is uqite beautiful! I like how the chess game shows us that even when he was young, Dick had a sharp & quick mind. Highest Compliments! All The Best - Paul Art website : http://hp-h.com/b/ptgould/

Hi i just wanna say i really enjoyed this especially after searching all over for some NightWing comics i could read online XD NightWing is actually my favorite hero in all of comic books i think he has surpassed his mentor in so many ways, well back to the point im actually a writer myself and i thought that it was really good especially for such a short story the combonation of past and present was blended pefectly and the art was amazing i wish i could draw half as well as you can.
