Nah, I got others coming up. That's why I find comic making fun, I get forced outside my normal habits.

Thistle Xandra · May 26, 2011, 04:22 AM // 04:22

very nice! are you practicing with expression sheets? we need an expression workshop now

Ravenhawk · Jun 01, 2011, 03:11 PM // 15:11

Thanks all!

@Thistle - that's actually a good idea!

Uploaded a new comic page. Actually done this a few weeks ago and I have a new page done as well that I haven't released yet.

ahhhh, every page finishes with a cliffhanger, grrrr! Draw faster please! DDDD:

Thistle Xandra · Jun 02, 2011, 07:36 PM // 19:36

This is amazing! The way you draw your comic and caption it makes it look like a professional comic :O I'm so excited to read more

Ravenhawk · Jun 03, 2011, 11:47 AM // 11:47

Aww thanks you two! *hug*

Uhm would a teaser help?

(Yeah that's the guy that I said I was trying out expressions on lol. TRYING is the key word)

Tommy's · Jun 03, 2011, 02:30 PM // 14:30

Haha epic. That looks really strong Mina

BlackXI · Jun 03, 2011, 03:50 PM // 15:50

That looks similar to how I feel when I don't save my drawings accidentally XD
Awesome job ! I love that comic you are doing too. How long does it take you do one of those?

Ravenhawk · Jun 16, 2011, 01:00 AM // 01:00

Thanks ^^

Uhm....prolly around 10 - 20 hours per page? I really should start counting >_< I know I keep on saying that.

And here's the 3rd page:

Comic looks great so far Raven

Great job!! How many pages will this end up being?

Charlie Dayman · Jun 16, 2011, 01:28 AM // 01:28

These are really neat, Mina. I'd like to see more panels with a bit more full-body shots than portraits. You like playing around with shadow a lot, and I think some simple yet strong silhouettes could add even more to these.

Ravenhawk · Jun 16, 2011, 03:07 PM // 15:07

@Frost - Thanks. Hmmm...I haven't completed scripting the entirety of Volume 1 yet..but I can imagine it to go over 100 pages..and that's only up until our RPs around 2006. I also expect at least 3 volumes if we were to follow how the storyline developed now so yeah it would be a LOT of work. It kinda makes me want to cry because I feel like I'm prolly gonna be dead before I finish all of this unless I get a ton of money to pay someone to draw for me lol.

@Charliepai - Thanks. Next page has a 3/4 body drawing and a possible full body view. (still havent decided what to do with the last panel). And I agree about the shadows. I need to make a really conscious effort to not overdo them.

How do you choose the color of shadows? In theory I read that they are usually dark version of cool colors (ie blue/purple) -plus whatever is the local color of the object. I usually set my brush to multiply or overlay for this but maybe there's a better way.

That's usually the case if you're doing shadows in a cool temperature. For warmer temperatures, use things like dark warm neutral browns.

Local colors are also a nice way to do shading, though sometimes it there might be a lack of color if it's all you use.

Definitely stay away from pure black. That's a big no no.

Well, I got a new page:
http://eon.smackjeeves.com/comics/1234247/4/

I got struck by Art Block right in the middle of it so I am not very happy with the page overall.

Next page (hopefully) will be better. It has a full body shot and is set outdoors, which I prefer over indoor setting. I also want to try a slightly different technique. Plus, finally I get to draw a female character!

Ravenhawk · Aug 02, 2011, 11:44 AM // 11:44

Been really busy IRL lately and actually done this page awhile ago. Was having an art block so I am not really completely happy with it >_<
