NICKOLA COMIC ART
Welcome!
Since you're here, I'm assuming you and I share many similar interests, namely comic art. For the last 20 years, I have been slowly building my skills with the dream of one day bringing my own characters and their stories out of the mists of my imagination and sharing them with the world!
When I first created this website, it was just supposed to serve as a portfolio of sorts. However, it has evolved into much more than that and now serves as the heart of my own small business. It still serves as my portfolio, but also as my webstore and as an outlet for sharing my journey of creating my first comic book.
This Front Cover shows my most recent works, but there's a lot more, so head on over to My Art Gallery. There, you'll find a nearly all of my finished art pieces from within the last several years. That said, no comic artist I know can complete a piece start to finish without learning, experimenting, and making some mistakes along the way. So, I've also included a ton of other stuff that you might find interesting.
Now, when it comes right down to it, art is a very personal thing. The right lines and color schemes can evoke deep emotional responses, and certain scenes can trigger fond memories or wishful desires. Other times, art is just cool and there's no rhyme or reason to it... If I've already drawn something that speaks to you, or you want me to draw something new and special, I'm both humbled and I want to immortalize that!
To get started, you'll want to check out my Comic Art Store. I've made it so you can purchase any of the pre-printed art pieces I have in-stock right there in the store! However, if there's something from My Art Gallery that isn't in the store, and you just gotta have it - well, I've created a Print Request Form just for that. I have also made it so that clicking on any image will bring up a pop-up window with a link to that form right there. Finally, if you would like to commission something brand new, I created this Commission Request Form. I suggest you also head over to the The Commission Hub to learn more about my process and my pricing.
Last but not least - I have embarked on a personal quest to create a full-blown comic book. For the last 20 years, I have been wanting to tell the stories that have been percolating in the back of my mind, and I am finally at point where I can do it! It won't be easy, though. So, as I explore the main characters and build their world, I want to share that experience with you. I created a special page dedicated to this called The Warrior's Journey where I'll share things like sketches, concept art, and eventually actual pages - as well as my own thoughts and questions along the way.
Everyone will be able to view The Warrior's Journey, but feedback is incredibly important to me. With that in mind, I have made it so special Members of this site will have the ability to make comments provide that crucial feedback right there on the page.
I don't charge anything for being a Member - it's literally just a way to help me get feedback from people. All you need to do is fill out your name, email address, and create your own password. You might get an email from me every once in a while, but I promise I won't be annoying about it!
As a special Thank You to all Members, you will receive a perpetual 10% discount on all In-Stock items sold in My Comic Art Store!
Sign-up or Log-in here to join me on The Warrior's Journey today!
Well... it's been quite the journey already just to bring my fledgling business into existence. That said, I'm always up for making improvements. So, if you encounter any technical issues, or have any suggestions or questions, feel free to shoot me a message.
First make it exist, then make it good.
Thank you so much for visiting, and I look forward to bringing you lots of cool stuff!
