Cheeko on Feb. 22, 2007
I've been pretty miserable this week.
Lent started Wednesday. No chocolate for 40 days for me. Also, no surfing the web.
I got sick Monday. My throat has been (quite literally) on fire. I've been pouring OJ and water down my throat trying to put it out. I just end up going to the bathroom a lot. And I'm tired all the time.
I must have gotten six nosebleeds working on this one page, and because I'm sick, I have to blow my nose a lot, which ends up giving me even more. A lot of thanks to Hannah who showed me some tricks to help that.
But I heard some good news from a friend, so that helps balance it all out. :)
Kudos to the person who can find the mistakes on this page. ;)
This specific scene is going to be difficult to write. As it stands, I have something similar to a grocery list of things that need to happen, and I'm just going down the list and checking them off as I get them done. Hopefully it won't make it sound too forced or unnatural, but I want to get back to Ranu and Co.
You know, I really need to start replying to the comments again. I'm sorry I haven't been for awhile.
Milo: You know, if 1Q was made into a movie (which would be AWESOME), I may ask you for advice in casting the characters. It sounds like you picked up on Narini very well. :) Yay for internet school!
BlackDove: Nobody lives a perfect life, least of all me. I have my own share of problems, and if you want to me just because I draw okay, then… well, I don't think that's a good idea. But thanks, XD
Everyone else seemed to say they didn't really notice the mistakes until I pointed them out. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut, huh?
Cheeko out.

No bracelets, I see 6 fingers has been mentioned, but other than that, still loving it! And how is Narini related to Ranu? I'm just curious, though I'm probably posting this SO late that I won't get an answer and have to wait! ^.^ oh well.

Ooooo... I sense a bit of discomfort? Tension? Cheeko you have out done yourself in art, plot, and character relationship set up.

Hold on a second. Ranu said that his mom might have had blue eyes. She is old enough and she's the same species. Could she be...?

Yeah, let the reader's enjoy your work. You make a mistake, learn from it. Most of the "old" artists you admire, probably had years of apprenticeship before work of their own appeared to the public. Think of all Feiffer, Frazetta, and lots more, whole worked for Capp, or Eisner, or Disney, etc. Sure you make mistakes, you are learning by doing, and yours are more visible, 'cause you don't have a master crafts man telling how to correct it and then making you redo it. I'm recommending your work to my nephew to look at and i'm sure he will as amazed as i am at the quality of the work you are doing. He now teaches animation, having worked on a long list of projects, including Aladdin, Lion King, Roger Rabbit, the Racoons, Mulan, Lilo & Stitch, and THe Little Mermaid etc. And If you follow his credits you would find he worked his way up clean up, inbetweener, character artist, animator. And you have me hooked on your art and your story, so don't distract us with apologizing for things we wouldn't otherwize notice. Hey if it is that bad, don't post it, but usually it isn't that , it's just your frustration about not getting quite what you wanted. Hopefully you have years ahead to master your craft, but hey if I read it right you're young enough I could even treat you to a drink in most states (even if your religion allowed it, which I would guess it doesn't...demn;-) Keep up the good work.

omy narini is very beautiful my it would seem cheeko you have created your own compition lol :)

Narini is awesome! I wonder what she's going to find out.... ^^ I'm hoping you feel better Cheeko! and about the OJ and stuff, Citrus is a colds worst nightmare! the Citric Acid is acidic and when introduced to your bloodstream turns your blood slightly acidic. Germs need a fairly neutral environment to survive, and that would be your bloodstream. Citrus SHOULD help you there.

whoah love your art

Ice cream helps a lot too. That's what I do when I get a sore throat. milk and ice cream. (not at the same time, that's nasty) Anyway, nice page, I love narini's hair, with the orange at the bottom. absolutely lovely.

Gypsy and fortune-teller go hand in hand don't they? Or mayhaps I am ill-informed and making assumptions. ^ ^;; OHWELL it's nice to know they're making friends. xxDDD *lawl* Dx ;;; I don't know, but I think I've heard somewhere that Orange Juice is bad for a sore throat... You drink it to prevent colds, but during them, that citris acid doesn't do a lot of soothing good. x X; Trick to keeping your throat happy is to keep your mouth closed. Cold numbs but warm sooths... *could give up a whole list of "cold tricks." @_@;;* I think I'm on the brink of catching one myself. Dx Frrrn. Oh well. It's got to happen at least once a year, ya?

AWSOME AWSOME... AND AWSOME
xanos at 7:44PM, Feb. 23, 2007
you know what? I think you SHOULD have kept your mouth shut about um.... good stratagies though bringing them out in the open like a contest and putting YOURSELF down about them so no one else could critisize you and they all fealt sympathetic... devious plan and well played! >>; oh! oh! and pleasehow do you use the "layer" tool?
littletrinks at 6:40PM, Feb. 23, 2007
um, you forgot Narini's braclets in the last pannel? I can't spot anything else that hasn't already been mentioned. Great page, hope you get better soon.
earthwielder at 3:19PM, Feb. 23, 2007
Narini has six fingers in the last panel. But other than that, I don't notice anything wrong with it. I absolutely love the facial expressions. Hope you get well soon...
Rainhazel at 3:05PM, Feb. 23, 2007
Assuming the good news was what you were told last night on AIM... then yea. I agree with you!!! xD whole heartedly!!! *flailspazfoamshriekcollapse* I don't see any mistakes on this page, so quit dissing yourself girly!!!! *beats head in with Poodle*
JillyFoo at 2:28PM, Feb. 23, 2007
I think Narini is the character that most resembles Cheeko. No surfing... Sighduck! I'll just have to make a lot of pages for Cheeko-chan to catch up on!
warofwinds at 12:57PM, Feb. 23, 2007
Get well soon, Cheeko! I
PaparazziPulse at 6:47AM, Feb. 23, 2007
Well, sorry to hear you're feelin' bad. *Hug* Get better soon. On this page, I like the fact that the panels are all squarish, and yet staggered, so they don't have a very repetitive appearance (like in my own comic). I also like the dialogue - intriguing.
jiminycricketX at 6:14AM, Feb. 23, 2007
Aw, being sick is nasty. Especially when blood is involved. I Hope you feel better soon. Hm... is Orson developing feelings for Narini? It wouldn't surprise me, being stuck in a cell for days and days, but still... pretty interesting. So, why did Orson have her cards anyway?
Wazaga at 4:32AM, Feb. 23, 2007
mistakes? erm, you didn't paint the orange over Narini's eye lids... she's only wearing one earring hoop on the right ear in the third to last panel... the fourth and sixth panels are twins of the same image... and Narini's looking especially hot in this one, but that's not a mistake :P if you have trouble figuring out how to place the scene with the right sentences to make it sound natural, do what I do, take a tape recorder and voice out the lines in as close to your characters voices as you can (as you hear them in your head) play the tape back, and see how it goes, you can re-record as often as you like and adjust the mood anyway you like. this also helps play the scene in your head and gives you a clearer image of how to place it on paper.... it only takes about 5 minutes, but it's well worth it if you have a tricky part with lots of info needing to be relayed.... good luck, and I hope your nose stops bleeding. my youngest brother has the same problem...
ninja3 at 3:57AM, Feb. 23, 2007
narini's cool ^^
TRS at 2:26AM, Feb. 23, 2007
Oh, the facial expressions in this page are good! Nice job. But I'm sad to hear you're sick, cheeko... get well soon.
Kaque at 1:34AM, Feb. 23, 2007
Aww... Poor Cheeko! I know how you feel. I was sick all last week myself. I hope you get well soon. Narini is basically insane in many ways.
Freux at 1:03AM, Feb. 23, 2007
She's awesome! .. I hope you feel better!
MetoolX597 at 11:48PM, Feb. 22, 2007
A reused panel, you forgot the laces in Orson's shirt on said panel, and you didn't color in the... whatever it's called of Narini's eye. That's all I can spot. And I'm a nit-picky jerk. Regardless of the few errors that I wouldn't ever have noticed had I not been looking for them, it's still excellent work. Also, Narini is indeed awesome. Can't wait to see more.

Hmm some sexual tension here do I detect! LOL! Scrutinized the panels closely and cannot find a thing wrong with them! Lovely... Great stuff! So far so good and looking forward to more!
