Chapter One Page 12

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. :-(

I actually like the first close-up panel. Her lip looks like it's doing a little elvis curl, which works nicely with the scene. Kind of a "what the..."

Middleton's awesome. It definetly shows here, and this page is one of my favorites just in the expression on the last panel. The plug even more so. I'm glad you enjoyed the fanart...working on it has made me feel like i want to do another 'actual' webcomic where i take the time to draw and be a bit more serious and coherent. so that's all you. fivezored.

dangerfunk: In good time, my friend! ...In about 2 days, to be exact. If my supervisor gives me tomorrow off, you'll see an update by Saturday morning. I try my best to be new and amuse myself! MetalLuigi: Thanks a lot! The colors were intentionally brighter. I think I almost found what style I want in this page. I'm going to be drawing my eyes like this from now on. If you wanna be let in on a little secret, before this project, my art style was pretty much pages 1-6, then page 9. I don't think I used any comic book references for page 9 (except one, and it didn't help much).

I LOVE the art on this page. The colors seem a bit brighter, but maybe that's just me. Do you think you'll ever find a style you'll stick with or will you always be trying out new things? I think it's good that you do new stuff, that way you never lose interest in doing new pages.

Ahhh!!! I have to know what's behind that door! Damn you D0m! oh, and thanks for the plugzorz. heheh. I like how your style's constantly evolving and how you keep incorporating something new in every page. The bright lighting in this page is a nice change of pace. :)
