Stars on the Water, Page 2

Lizuka on July 23, 2011


We've been running since October 10th on Comic Fury and DeviantArt, but only now - the early morning hours of July 24th - are things going up on Drunk Duck. I'll be including both my comments and those of the artist, Adam Cowie, and I'll be updating this in the future alongside those other two sources. I hope everyone enjoys.I will upload Wright as Rayne through the night and the sister story, The Black Princess, will come in the next couple of days.

And here's page two!Not a lot to say about it, though. We get our first looks at John Nelson and Melissa Neidhart, though; the latter's face not being shown was according to Adam simply an unintended consequence of the page layout, but it's not too crucial she be seen right this moment anyway.First direct indicator that Alex is bi, though. And for that matter first mention of his daughter. Still, things will start really happening in a page or two.
Adam's Comments
Yeah, Melissa not being seen kinda miffed me. I just thought it'd be a nice artistic touch to see her from behind as the camera focused on Alex. I was excited because when Martin doesn't have a design already put up for a character, I get free reign to try and design them myself. Melissa would've been my first but we don't see her.Eh. It's not like she's a major character though, and to be honest, probably better I didn't draw her here anyway. The art is terrible. Look how shakey Alex's face is in some of the other panels. I get to design two other characters down the line, as you'll see. And one of them is pretty major. ^^Get to see John, though. That's kinda neat. I like his colors scheme, courtesy of Martin, and also his slim-but-muscley build. Hm. Seems pretty chunky in the chest here, though. Ugh… Learning curve.
