Interview with Elizabeth Beals

Here we are at the end, our final interview! Fittingly, we're capping it off with Elizabeth Beals, the other long standing member who has stuck around since Square Carousel's very beginning. While Elizabeth's signature style has remained instantly recognizable from Challenge 1 through Challenge 143 and counting, her skills have undoubtedly blossomed over the past decade. Today, we're catching up with our resident long haul Square Carousel member, admin, and comics professional, Elizabeth Beals!

Emma Frost

Q: Even though your art style is beautifully consistent, your work still stays fresh with each new challenge. What are the biggest aesthetic changes you notice in your work when you compare your most recent pieces to your graduation portfolio?

A: I haven’t looked at my graduation portfolio in a hot minute, it’s pretty wild seeing how far I have come. I’ve gotten better at compositions/ I’ve leaned into cooler, more saturated palettes/ have a better use of textures/ and I also don’t force myself to create a full bleed illustration if it’s not completely necessary to get the story across.

Elizabeth’s workspace

Q: Has your art making process changed at all during your post college years?

 A: Oh yeah, definitely!

In college I would thumbnail/ flesh out the comp at scale with normal mechanical pencil/ ink with a 005 micron/ erase the under drawing/ scan in the piece/ clean up in Photoshop/ then color until completion. 

Whereas I now thumbnail/ scan in the one I like/ format and print it out at a larger scale (in light blue)/ go back over the print with a blue pencil to refine details/ ‘ink’ it with a extra fine mechanical pencil/ scan it back in/ clean up in photoshop/ and then color until completion. 

And if we want to do an even deeper dive we can look at the ‘Color until Completion’ portion.

In college I would create a top layer, which was always the scan/line art set to multiply, and then I would place the coloring layers beneath it. I was just getting into textures and color holds so they were pretty crude but it was nice that I was still fussing with them.

I currently use the same process as a base but I’ve also started painting on top of the line art (like, A LOT), using overlays, adjustments, effects, and more.

Glitter Hearts

Q: What's been your favorite professional project to work on?

A: Mmmmm, I think this one’s a tie for me, the first one would be my cover run on Star Trek: TNG - Terra Incognita. It was my first cover run and the writers/ editors I got to work with were a complete and total dream. They whipped up some pretty fun concepts and I really got to stretch my art muscles for it. Plus the Ice cream I designed for issue one got worked into the story, so having a cannon ice cream design is pretty dang neat. The second would be my first OGN, Virtually Yours, with writer Jeremy Holt! It’s been a project that we’ve had waiting in the wings since 2015 and got to revamp for ComiXology Originals in 2020. It was the largest project I’ve ever worked on and it was such a tough/ joyous/ and complete learning experience for me. I was glad to have an amazing team of people to work with and you should deff check it out if you haven’t already ;D

Virtually Yours cover

Q: Any non-art hobbies?

A: Baking / Cooking/ Trying out new recipes! *Chef’s Kiss* Just chilling outside in general/ soaking up some sun ( as a former So. Cal girl I miss the high/ dry heat.) Binge watching trash T.V.

Q: Tea, coffee, or hot chocolate?

A: I love all three dearly but coffee wins, hands down.

Q: What's a career goal you have for the next decade?

A: Pretty broad but I would love to get to a place where I become less dependent on private/ personal commissions and focus more on Comic Covers and Pin-up work. 

She Hulk

Q: Do you have a favorite superhero? A: Short answer, no.
 However, I can provide a short list of some of my faves: Jubilee, Storm, Rogue, Spider-Man, Anya Corazon (Spider-Girl), Spider-Gwen, Mystique, and I’m gunna end it there before I just keep rambling.

Q: What's one thing you wish more people knew about you or your work?

A: One fun thing about me/ my work is that my love of drawing hair came from wanting to create Cammy White (Street Fighter) fan art. With braids as long as her’s you gotta take your time and learn to draw them right! XD

Q: While working, do you prefer to watch tv, movies, listen to music, or sit in silence? Any recommendations for background media?

A: Definitely a TV series or movie, preferably something I’ve already seen (less potential to distract me). I always end up falling back on older shows like Murder She Wrote or Midsomer Murders, basically anything with a long syndication. When I was working on Virtually Yours though I would have HBO’s Gentleman Jack on. It’s a newer series with only one season but it served as a good timer/ work schedule for me.

Star Trek TNG: Terra Incognita (issue 6)

Q: If you could choose one character from the Star Trek universe to befriend, who would it be and why? A: To avoid getting too crazy, I think I’m gunna limit myself to TNG (plus I have the most knowledge of that series) and go with Guinan. She’s wise beyond her years (if you could believe that), funny, empathetic, resourceful, and makes a mean drink! And not to break the 4th wall or anything, but it’s freakin’ Whoopi Goldberg!!! ;D

Elizabeth herself

Q: Excellent choice! Anything else you would like the readers to know?

A: Just that y’all are fantastic and we appreciate all the love and support you’ve shown us over that last 10 years! Thanks for letting us go out on a high note!

P.S. Stay safe. Stay healthy. And get vaccinated <3

You heard her folks! Thanks so much to Elizabeth for sharing her answers, and to you, dear readers, for getting to know us all at the Square Carousel Collective these past years.  Check out Elizabeth’s website, and follow her on Tumblr, Twitter and Instagram for fresh art as soon as it drops!

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Terra Incognita #1

Written by Scott Tipton & David Tipton

Art byTony Shasteen

The Tipton brothers, Scott and Davis, wrote The Primate Directive, a Star Trek/Planet of the Apes Crossover miniseries in 2014/15.  They have done a lot of Star Trek beyond that, including several “Mirror Universe” stories, Dr Who Crossovers, a Gorn special, and more.  Other work includes some Dr Who comics, and writing credits for TMNT, Mighty Crusaders, The Seven Per Cent Solution, Angel, Spike, AstroBoy, and Ragnarok.

Like the Tiptons, Tony Shasteen has done a lot of Star Trek, including ST: Boldly Go, ST: Manifest Destiny, ST: Discovery, ST: New Adventures, and the ST/Green Lantern crossover, just to name a few.    Beyond that, he has done some fascinating work on Cthulhu Tales, Occult Crimes Taskforce, and Talisman: Road of Trials.  He has also worked on Batman, Deathstroke, Conan, JLA, and more.

IDW has done several of ST:TNG miniseries featuring the Mirror Universe.  A recent story arc had members of the mirror universe Enterprise crew attempting to take over the Enterprise of the Federation universe.

At the end of that story arc, there was one subplot left open.  The mirror universe Lt Reginald Barclay is still on board the Federation Enterprise.

Lt Barclay is a fan-favorite character from ST: TNG, and he was so popular that he was a featured guest character on several episodes of ST: Voyager.  One of the things that makes Reg Barclay a fan favorite is his accessibility.  Captains Kirk, Picard, Janeway, etc are all unflappable paragons of perfection.  Barclay, on the other hand, is an everyman.  Finding himself in the perfect future world of the Enterprise, the flagship of the United Federation of Planets’ Star Fleet, he often feels inadequate and/or overwhelmed.  Despite this, he does his duty to the best of his ability, and this makes him perhaps, the bravest member of the crew.

Where Reg Barclay is hesitant and earnest, the Mirror Barclay is ruthlessly and avariciously efficient.  Where Reg Barclay wants to contribute meaningfully and fit into the crew, Mirror Barclay wants to get .

ahead and will take advantage of his peers.

The Mirror Barclay has to figure out how to fit into the UFP Enterprise.  His plan is then to become a “Better Barclay,” and move up the chain of command.  He believes that with his ruthlessness and ambition, he will move up quickly.  He understands that there are differences he will need to learn about in order to fulfill his goals.

The Tiptons are once again showing both their truly superior writing skills and the great depth of their knowledge/understanding of the Star Trek Universe and the many characters in it.  Choosing to focus on a character like Reg Barclay, who is simultaneously both complex and popular, poses many risks, and fortunately, they have risen to the challenge.

Tony Shasteen’s artwork on Trek comics is well known.  He has a realistic style that includes both high technology and human features.  In a story arc like this, he has to show both Barclays in such a way as to allow the reader (but not the other Trek characters) to differentiate between them.

This is a great opportunity to examine a fan-favorite character.  The Barclay-centered episodes of ST:TNG and ST: Voyager were very popular with fans.  Likewise, ST:TNG: Terra Incognita, helmed by this impressively talented and experienced team of storytellers, has success written all over it.

REVIEW: Star Trek: TNG - Terra Incognita #1

REVIEW: Star Trek: TNG – Terra Incognita #1

The next mini run of the Mirror Broken saga begins now!

Following the end of the last run, evil Barclay is left alone to ponder his place in the universe.  His plan, to take the place of the real Barclay and pretty much try to secure some power from somewhere.  The time in the ST:TNG is after Wolf 359 so Federation resources are at an all time low.  Perfect then for a lone wolf in sheep clothing…

256: I Would Need More Than a Paragraph

Imzadi. Will Riker and Deanna Troi: throughout the run of Star Trek: The Next Generation, it was clear there was a deep connection between these two characters. However, they never truly "got together" until 2002's Star Trek Nemesis. What is the history between Will and Deanna? What drew them together and made them "Imzadi"? At last we look at the story that tells the tale of TNG's greatest romance!

In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson are joined by Amy Nelson of Earl Grey and The Edge to talk about Imzadi by Peter David. We discuss how we first read Imzadi, Riker's life without Deanna, Will's behavior as a young man, how Will and Deanna first got together, the Guardian of Forever, temporal shenanigans, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.

At the top of the show, Dan and Bruce review the final issue in the TNG: Terra Incognita comic series and discuss your Babel Conference feedback on Literary Treks 254: A Likely Victim.
