Chapter One Page 12
D0m on July 4, 2007
I went with yet another art style for this page. I actually emulated Joshua Middleton, a fantastic comic book artist whose style made me envious. :-) Either way, I love how the Queen came out in the last three panels- I managed to change her expression, too, which was great. The soft shading and glow hopefully came out well. I spent about 70% of my fourth of July making this, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Thanks for waiting that long week for this update! Hope you enjoy!
We have a special voting incentive for you this time!
Vote for Nadya on Buzzcomics and you get to see JoeRocks1981's fanart of the Queen!
Vote for Nadya on TopWebComics and you get to see Dangerfunk's fanart of Charna!
Both pieces blew me off my feet, and I'm eternally grateful for them. Joerocks1981 is the creator of -the- best sprite comic I've ever read, Internet Superbuddies! Dangerfunk is the creator of Catastrophe USA, a -very- unique comic with a premise I've never seen done anywhere else, so check em out.
Sorry about the replies, everyone! The comment box ate them, and this author's notes box ate them too. :-(

Just BEAUTIFUL! I mean, I try never to be critical of anyone's artistic efforts, 'cause I can't draw worth shit, but I gotta tell you, this page is your best yet. The last three panels showing such subtle changes in expression SO well, and she looks SO REAL, which is fabulous! And you seem to have solved "the ear dilemma" too! GREAT work!!! (If you ever read through the old comments to see if there is anything new back here, you might even see this!) Heh.

Beautiful work on her face.

I know it's already been said, but this screams "Middleton". And that's incredibly sexy.

Yup, there it is - a HUGE leap forward in the artwork. The Queen's face looks REAL.

ha ha. I looked at this page and said 'wow' that's beautiful in a Josh Middleton sort of way and scrolled down and read your inspiration was him. I love JM, and I love this page. I really like the realistic quality of your characters faces/expressions.

Wow... her expressions are too powerful... I wonder what made her react like that? Is she getting naked and showing off her ugly things under her clothes? lol... just kidding!
Broken Aroow at 2:07PM, Aug. 3, 2007
wow i really like how youve done the faces
RabbitMaster at 7:45AM, July 26, 2007
The art is really picking up! Great face work!
MrSynnerster at 4:58AM, July 24, 2007

EmilyTheStrange at 4:53AM, July 6, 2007
eep! This style works out really well, you've done a great job. ^_^

Joerocks: I'm going to make sure I keep plugging away at the Queen's crazy expressions. Perhaps it'll become a trademark for her.. :-P I'd love to see it if you drew a webcomic done like you drew the fanart. Lughaidh: Always good to see a new face! The first close-up was my favorite, too. I always imagined that she loves to think "Ugh... What NOW?" I heart artists: Thanks!

I really like how her facial expressions change in the last three panels. Interested in what she is seeing. Nice detail on the wall in panel one. Oh and yeah Transformers was amazing...don't listen to the reviews:)
Rydel6 at 7:46PM, July 5, 2007
Yeah, gotta agree that the fonts are awesome.

I have missed reading your stuff! Very cool!
silentkitty at 5:54PM, July 5, 2007
I agree with those that said this is a great new style, I really like it a lot. The expressions in the three right panels are just awesome - really nice work on the coloring in them, too. ^^ Makes me want to see what she's looking at, haha. The fonts are looking good, too. Keep it up! :3
SilverWordz at 2:17PM, July 5, 2007
I agree with what everyone has already said. And probably what everyone that comes here afterward will say. It's a really great page, and your fonts have come along way, they're looking good.

I like how shes grabbing her dress, makes her seem more real. :)
blntmaker at 10:37AM, July 5, 2007
AH new NADYA! And done with excellent style as always...I love the last three panels as well. Great work, my man!
Wyrvvn at 10:26AM, July 5, 2007
Aw, man, I love this page! The art style is excellent, and her lips don't look freakish at all, more human. way to go.
freefall_drift at 10:07AM, July 5, 2007
I like the way you have rendered the queen's face, a good technique. I checked out Joshua Middleton, I can see the influence. Nice disdain in your 2nd panel.
Tantz_Aerine at 8:20AM, July 5, 2007
I absolutely love this style change. It is the best yet and it completely made me stare and grin at the great expressions of the queen :) Very well done. She looks alive and breathing in the last three panels and it makes you want to turn the page for more! Kudos to you :)
