Always good to work outside your comfort zone

Dragon looks good - reminds me of the witch from the Black Cauldron, I think it was?

The dragon looks really good. I also think such dragons and magical orbs give a really nice touch to the magical middle-ages theme.

Thanks you all *group hug*

@Charlie - Not sure if I heard of that dragon but I was looking at so many dragon pictures while doing the initial sketch for this one. I wouldn't be surprised if Black Cauldron was one of them lol

And it's done:

Or maybe it wasn't Black Cauldron... Urgh, I can't remember - all I remember is that it was a Disney film where the witch turns into a giant black and purple dragon that spits green flames. Pretty awesome.

Anyways, the finished piece is lookin' good. You said this was for a comic?

I believe Maleficent did that in Sleeping Beauty.

Not remembering where or who specifically it was from, a quick google search shows thats exactly who I was thinking of as well :x

Ravenhawk · Apr 10, 2011, 05:49 AM // 05:49

lol just looked Maleficent up, can definitely see the resemblance and she's black and purple too lol. The color scheme of the dragon was based from our guild cape/guild colors in GW.

Yep. (Web) Comic that's actually based off our RP guild in GW but we removed all the GW components and made a completely different world. Wasn't too big of a deal because majority of RPs have became so far off from the GW stories over the years.

That same guild is also the reason why I pushed myself to learn drawing last year because I wanted to immortalize our storyline at least through a comic. It's not everyday that I meet random people with characters/stories of their own and eventually our toons' tales became so intertwined that it turned into a complete storyline so to speak lol /babble

OMG! That is a great first panel! I love the dragon! This actually looks like it's going to be a professional-looking comic, not like the sketchy one I'm doing XD I'm so excited to read this!

Ravenhawk · Apr 11, 2011, 11:56 AM // 11:56

*hugs* Thanks Thistle. The thing is, my sketches are too messy to pass for a comic page and I don't have an in between style between my sketches and finished drawings yet lol. So I decided to just do my usual method, only difference is that I leave some roughness in the drawing. XD

I planned to keep things as a surprise but I kinda need help with the anatomy of the second panel since I don't have a real reference for it (esp with the angle that I wanted). So yeah here's a preview. Something's off with the hand placement and maybe his right shoulder I think lol

InfestedHydralisk · Apr 11, 2011, 10:40 PM // 22:40

Looks like a real blacksmith too me. Keep it going.

Thistle Xandra · Apr 12, 2011, 04:55 AM // 04:55

I love his face so far! He looks rough and REAL with the thinning hair and forehead wrinkles!

For the hand issue: I tried pretending I was holding a hammer handle, and the only thing I can think of is that the hand would be angled down while it looks like in yours it might be angled up (almost like how you would make a fist and rest it a table instead of jutting out and holding handle parallel to the arm)? If that makes any sense??

His shoulder looks good to me though :P

Ravenhawk · Apr 19, 2011, 11:44 AM // 11:44

thanks Thistle! *hugs*. I completely scrapped the prologue (for now) and moved on to chapter 1. Well I do need a cover so....that's what I am working on atm.

*Snip* updated below

Thistle Xandra · Apr 19, 2011, 06:59 PM // 18:59

Wow! That cover is going to look so awesome! TOTALLY reminds of X-men and their totally awesome action poses on covers.

InfestedHydralisk · Apr 19, 2011, 09:57 PM // 21:57

Hmm, I feel like something is missing on that cover. But I don't know what...

Ravenhawk · Apr 20, 2011, 03:30 AM // 03:30

@IH - Uhm..his sword? XD

Thanks Thistle! Well, X-Men is one of my huge influences. Actually, I wanted it to look that way like in comicbook covers ^^

Here's my update for tonight:

frostkisses · Apr 20, 2011, 06:13 AM // 06:13

Ravenhawk · Apr 22, 2011, 05:35 PM // 17:35

Thanks Frost!

Here's an update. Rearranged some chars, changed poses, fixes and Sylas almost done. *is super slow*

Morag D · Apr 22, 2011, 05:44 PM // 17:44

Ravenhawk · Apr 22, 2011, 09:52 PM // 21:52

Thanks Morag. ^^ Just one more to go..arm hurts so I am gonna rest tomorrow again:

InfestedHydralisk · Apr 23, 2011, 09:58 AM // 09:58

I like the face of Raven, that one is really well done.
