Chapter One Page 19
D0m on Aug. 20, 2007
So, this page comes two days past when it was supposed to come out, and it looks less than desirable when it does come out. Ah, well. I think the page was needed to establish a transition, but I don't think it's my best. I'll make up for it with more updates this week.
To those who gave me awesome crits last page,I'll be working on those when I can. Thanks for helping me out. And big thanks to Mlai and Tantz Aerine for letting me bounce ideas off of them.

Vote for Nadya at TWC and see the rest of this painting of a saxaphone I made:
( See the Youtube vid here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fJWrIuGSQw )
and for Buzzcomics, you'll see a concept painting of a scene coming up very shortly (SPOILERS):
Thanks for everyone who checks up on Nadya regularly. We appreciate it so much! We're crawling up the ranks steadily and arenow in the top 50! Cool.

We tend to be our own worst critics. Don't be too hard on yourself - you're still WAY better than me :-)

Nice touch with the wall's pictures, you should definitely keep adding these little details that give life to a comic.

God, your art is so atmospheric!! I don't think I could handle living in this place for too long!

Ooh, I could have sworn I commented on this page already. Arrrgh! Anyway, it looks great, I'm glad you took Hyp's advice with the hands in the middle panel. It makes the page flow really nicely. ^^ I'm looking forward to the next page!

you has an ad? neato. I'm hugging myself in anticipation. And I'm curious...what tools do you use and how do you mix it with the color before it? Less opacity?

I just finished reading through your archives and I must say you have a very unique style and story line for an elf comic! I find it very refreshing. And I have to agree with Tantz_Aerine, the hand outlines are particularly good on this page.
Hyptosis at 12:27PM, Aug. 21, 2007
Very cool page. ^_^

*fapfapfap* Only kidding! :D Great page as always, love the wall faces!

Just read through your archives. Very awesome. I love the colouring. Can't wait for more! :)

Nice page. It has me wondering what it is she hasn't used in a while, and feeling that perhaps no good can come of it ...!
popenfresh at 7:23AM, Aug. 21, 2007
I have to agree with the rest, once again great job.

I think it's a good page. I love the colors in the first frame, the perspective in the second frame and the graffiti on the walls is classic! Every page can't be the best you've ever done, but that doesn't mean it's not good on its own merits. Good movement. Besides, they're off the bridge... ;)
SilverWordz at 7:00AM, Aug. 21, 2007
Lol, the graffitti on the wall is awesome. I can't believe it's only page 19!
gsp at 7:00AM, Aug. 21, 2007
I like this page, I love the graffiti - beautiful touch! You underrate the obvious and accentuate the atmosphere! I'm learning alot!
Loud_G at 6:27AM, Aug. 21, 2007
Oooo, what's gonna happen now? I'm voting on a big explosion. :) Great as always D0m!

BLNT- Thanks a lot, I think things will be picking up in the next few pages. I'm glad you like the light beams! Blueflame_Studios- The next page'll be cooler, too! Dangerfunk- Nice new icon, hehe... and yeah, I think kids or teens did it! Tantz Aerine- Thanks for your support, as always! Nepath- Thanks much, Nepath. You don't know how much those words mean to me. HarryQ- I really should stop being so judgemental on my work every once in a while then, huh? =P TheMidge28- Hm, yep! This is a bit of a lighthearted page. :-) And thank you!

cool page...I like the silhouetted hands in the 2nd panel...also I like the crazy graffiti ...looks like children did it...its like a little joke in this page, right? Being and artist...and that is what we all are...I think...is an evolving process...think of the amoeba...it must of looked quite silly between stage fish and bird...

Years ago I would overthink every tiny detail. Now I operate on intuition and I'm having more fun. That works best for me at this point, but I'm not house-broken! I have no technical critiques or plot decryptings, I'm watching the unfolding. I try to enjoy everything because it is what it is.
Nepath at 1:10AM, Aug. 21, 2007
Still a good page. I find it's not worth beating yourself up too much when a page is not what you wanted or expected it to be. You can't create everypage to perfection, even the greatest comic books you will always find an under par page.
Tantz_Aerine at 12:47AM, Aug. 21, 2007
You are most welcome. It's fun to brainstorm :) I really like the shot of the silhouette of Charna's hands. And how she's kneeling on the circle. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself :)
