Description I am so sick of trying to work with these characters! I created them about a year ago, and last semester I *tried* using them in my final project for perspective, but the story just was flat...this illustration is one of the pictures from that project. Basically, they are mages in training, twins (sort of, they're really triplets, but the other one is a menace and locked up). The boy (the lazy one in the chair) is bullying the girl around to do his homework. Why does she put up with this crap? 'Cause she's dumb and wants him to like her. It’s actually more complicated than that, but it’s so boring…

I tried using these characters in my comics class this semester, but they p*ssed me off there too. I think it’s all those years of watching crappy soaps. It’s ruined my storytelling ability. So I think I'm going to move on with a new story for now.

The picture it'self I think is ok. I haven't found my style yet, though. When I did this I was torn between manga and something else more realistic, so the entire project was frustrating because I kept erasing and re-drawing stuff.

Soaps can fry anyone's brain. It's best just to lay off 'em. Especially that Passions. :-p

Another beautiful drawing. And these are your own original characters? Seriously impressive. ~DJ

I think it looks cool! It's a really nice composition and I like how the characters look.

I have a hard time holding onto a story idea too. I lose interest in things pretty fast. oh well. It's good to take a break from things ^_^
