Delayed again, I know! I have a different excuse this time and it's not because I'm getting tired of drawing comics. So, no need to fear… yet. Apart from working on another short comic (around 10 pages) that I need to finish before October, the delays were caused by me caring so much about the final result of the page. Panel 1, it took me a while to work out how to show that they are in the mouth of a cave being blocked by a waterfall. Panel 2, I tried different poses of Lili jumping for it but I ended up with the one you see here. In the end, I just said to myself, “screw it!” I just drew those two panels to the best of my ability last weekend even though I wasn't completely satisfied with them. I figured I could doctor it up a bit when the time comes to add in the shading bits in Painter. Meanwhile, in Panel 3, research on how the waterfall exterior should look like and figuring out how to render the waterfall also slowed me down. And like in the first two panels, I decided to just go and draw it and be done with it.
Hi Brigid. Thanks for that. That was exactly the idea. I hope the execution was good enough so that the thing could get accepted for publication in the magazine. :)
Thanks for all the comments, guys! :D I didn't even realise that Lovarian Adventures became a Drunk Duck Featured Comic until quite recently. Woohoo!
Well, I still won't be updating this week even though I'm officially done working on the 8-page comic Prey. I'm just too darned tired from all the rush work I had to do on it.
I should be able to start updating pages again starting next weekend. Thanks for sticking around.
Meanwhile, you can read the online version of Prey here: [url]http://drunkduck.com/Prey/[/url].
@Ringjo: Thanks, bro. I actually have a better pose of Lili jumping in my sketchbook but I couldn't place it properly in the panel I've alotted for the jump. :P
@Neilsama: Thanks. :) I had a little fun drawing them wet, actually.
@Brigid: Thanks. The light was actually a bit easy. I just used an airbrush tool to do the brightness effect. :)
My favorite panels on this one would have to be the first one and the fourth one. The first because the light and reflections are so perfect. I'm so terrible at getting wet surfaces to look wet, but you pulled it off and made it look easy. (Even if it wasn't.)

Neato keen! And no dialog at all. At first I thought the little girl was the prey. Wow, that was a switch in expectations. OO
