chp7 pg3 : Plagues and Curses
bluebug on March 18, 2007
Woot! A guest page by the wonderful Eunice P of Ghost Hunters fame and I Come From Mars. I'm posting the lineart up first because I love it so much ^_^ Velle looks so adorable! And I really love Tyr's expression in the final panel. It cracks me up XD
Link to Eunice P's comic and blog: ICFM and
blog
Characters : Tyranis (the dude), Nydeira (the annoyed one), Velle (the expositing one).
*** Replies to comments ***
Tantz Aerine : Thanks! You're right. They all have unique body language. Velle's timid and constantly worried that Nydeira's going to start a fight. Nydeira's crossing her arms to prevent herself from tearing out Katrina's hair XD And Tyr's just confused.
sonic2005: Glad you like him. I like fact that he has dual swords, except I keep forgetting to draw them in XD
DC: Thanks for the support as always!
Az: Yup. Tyr was the one who was driving earlier. He wasn't actually asleep or dead XD Just unlucky because the carriage axel broke.
magicalmisfits: Thanks. I like playing with panel layout. “Organic” is a good word to use. I tried to make the flow as natural as possible so that the dialogue was easy to follow.
ce33: I would post up what the previous page looks like without the bubbles, except I added in the background after the bubbles, so if I take the bubbles out, there will be giant holes in the background XD I will, however, post up the current page with Eunice's lineart. I altered the version she sent me which ended up covering up some of the details. Future vote incentive when this page is done ^__^
F Allen and Erk : Thanks for voting!

AH! I was thinking that looked like her style! Especially the last character. Jeebus, she's got such a notable style hasn't she?

Just read through your entire (huge) archive. You weave an interesting story. Some of the earlier pages were somewhat scattered and confusing (particularly action scenes with a lot of characters,) but mostly the storytelling is quite good. Reminds me of Rurouni Kenshin mixed with Final Fantasy only the main character is blind. Kurenai Mashin is pretty cool though. You'll probably be seeing some fanart of him from me pretty soon.

O.O finally got off my lazy arse to look at this comic. Awsome! I bow repeatedly to your artistic superiority, and fav this comic!

Heh. Thanks, Eunice. True, I need to look at more references for expressions. It's fun seeing him all goofy because all my characters are way too serious (except for Itaka and Tak). I'm glad you had fun drawing Tyr!

X3 You know what? I'm still impressed with your panel squeezing skills. *hugz BB's awesomeness* Actually, there is a way to learn how to draw lots of expressions. Read more funny mangas and watch lots of funny shows! :D Oh, sorry about making him look goofy. Can't help it, I drew too much goofy characters. XD Modesty: You're right. X3 BB drew Tyr better than me. I had a bit of difficulty capturing BB's artstyle in drawing Tyr especially with the hair part. But it sure is fun drawing him. DC: Wait till you see BB's coloring work. Her skill is more impressive than my coloring skills. X3

ah, I see.

Mod: She definitely makes him look younger and goofier than he's supposed to be XD But I like the fact that he has so many expressions. I'm so used to drawing KM (who has two expressions: mad and madder), so I find it really tough to draw a guy with lots of expressions XD DC: Yes. Yes, she is. And fast, too.
Modesty at 3:07PM, March 19, 2007
To be fair...I like how you draw Tydarius better. :3 But yay, a new page. XD

Eunice P's amazing O_O

Sorry, guess I wasn't clear. I'm just posting up the lineart for now. I started the colors (which is why the eyes are white and the background is grey), but I haven't finished the coloring. I thought it would be a shame to post up the colored version without anyone seeing Eunice's great pencilwork first. Which is also why I've decided not to ink this page - my unsteady hand would ruin the lineart XD

Cute, nice page! Why are the eyes still white, while everything else is grey? Is it something to do with the way colors are done or something, or am I missing something? Looks funny, but cool in a way.

I love the little *awkward* thing. It made us laugh.

As always amazing flow in your work!
