Chapter 3: Turn For The Worse - page 15

This chapter scripted and drawn by me.
Lettering by Ed Bangalan on pgs 15 - 18.
Lettering by DigitalCAPS on pgs 19 - 26.
Current top page banner CG'ed by Whirlwynd/Cerulean.
Read the sister series FIGHT 1, for the other side of the full story.
No more translation pages. Training wheels are OFF, kiddo! Don't worry I'm getting more fluent/readable with Knight's English now.
Ed couldn't CG anymore so I went to Faber-Castell PITT artist pens. Not as good as Copic markers, it seems!

I like the page.. but I have a question.. Wait, let me read your post under the page so I won't feel stupid if you already answered it there. Okay, I feel stupid. I was about to ask what you used for the backgrounds and shading.. Now that I know.. I have nothing else to say.

Sorry Mlai I just call it as I see it. Don't let it get you down it is just one man's opinion. I enjoyed the dialog in those three panels if that is any consolation. ^_^

@ EEN: It seems you're a fan of Ed, then! Everything he has creative control over, you like best! ^_^ By focusing on his mouth, those 3 panels are supposed to cinematically convey Nuada going "[i]blab blab blab blab oops I blabbed too much.[/i]" Of course it also allowed me to draw less... o_-;

I really enjoyed the "Chase" naming page. That was the good stuff from Fight 1 which so quickly grabed my attention even during slow points in the story. These last few pages really seem to have started to bring fight 2 up to what I've been expecting after reading Fight 1. The art on this page looks a little different then usual in the good way. I dont' care for those three panels on the right though. I'd have rather seen more of his face rather then all that below his neck which are not really adding anything to the panel much less three times over.

I love the angle in the biggest panel. And I'm starting to see the putz-e-ness... o_O Ed's CG is better, but that is not saying this isn't good in the least. The shading is still exceptionally well done!
