Description
Holy Krishna this page was a handful to color.Scene: Peat bog! Mmm steamy stinky wooden decay~
/edit/ Lawl uploaded the less finished one.

I don't really know what to say about this. I've been paired against 's Shikyo and Jack, and they were a blast and a challenge to draw! The colors were fun to work with!
Does this comic make sense? I like to think/hope it makes sense. Page 2 gets a little more confusing.
I don't like making people wait. I love a good cliffhanger and hate waiting for updates *D*
You may be curious as to why Fool's blood is so dark. That's because there is an alien inside of her, and He is dark. So her blood is always darker than normal. Grrroooossss.

Not just a stick - a JAVELIN STICK. Eff yeesssss. xD
It's really funny, I want to do a small side comic with Fool encountering a room full of kittens, and they make Shikyo their kitten queen. Oh hologram cats <3

I love love LOVE it! <3 I like what you're doing with this- you're making it very suspenseful but the added in dialouge shows the personality of the character. ;u; it's all so awesome. And your COLORING OMG. D: <333

Don't trip on your way over, there's a really awkward bottom step.
But thank you so much @D I'm flattered you like it so much.

I always start with idea sketches in a sketchbook, figuring out the panels, general poses and dialogue. I start with the same sized document, black background, and cut out the panels with the select tool to make them white.
So, I guess I just... wing it. Seeing the panels out in thumbnail form on a sheet of paper makes comic-ing a lot easier!

What program do you use for making it?
(I'm just wondering because I resently got a tablet)

Photoshop CS5, I got it incredibly discounted through student savings, whee~
I've been hearing lots of wonderful things about Paint Tool SAI though, I'm thinking of giving that a shot!

I see. I've been trying out a few, but haven't found one that fits yet. plus I'm still not use to drawing with a tablet.

Heya! Not in the tower tournament, just kind of watching it progress. I must say I love the backstory for the characters and the high stakes of the storyline. Great job, I'll be rooting for you and 's success.

Wonderful pacing here, great art. You've gotten so much better. I really love the way you do hair.
The paneling is interesting, I like the way you break panels, I'm a fan of that. One thing that you might wanna consider is maybe cutting down on the blacks between panels, there's quite a lot of it and it takes away from the flow. It's not that bad, mind you, but if you cut down some it could make it better.
Keep on like this and you got this tourney in your back pocket.

Thank you so much @D; I've never been very good at paneling, so that step has always been my weakest point. I've gotten a bit stronger, yes, but I'm still not where I want to be! That will come... with time. Uhm, anyway. Thank you for the suggestion! I'm at a point where I can't change much in my round as the timer is running out, but if/when I make it into the next round I will be keeping that in mind.
... also, I don't have back pockets. Can I keep it in my coat pocket instead! ?

Shit's gonna get real.
I really love how you captured your opponents personalities, especially on their different views of Fool. Very well done my dear!

I was hoping someone would comment, maybe give an lol factor about those panels, so I'm glad you liked them xD Thank you!

I wonder if Shikyo will even use that knife in her gun. It seems useful enough to stab with in close combat. Another thing I wonder is which one is truly more powerful in combat.. the Fool or Oracle? Why am I wondering things so much? D8
Good start so far Ave.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks so much! Don't worry about wondering, it's okay to have questions so I can answer thems.
Yeah... honestly, when I made the comic... I didn't even think about the fact that the gun had a knife on it during the fight between Shikyo and Fool at the start xD;;;;; It just entirely slipped my mind. I did have plans for her to use the knife later on page two, but then I changed things a little and that never happened. Maybe it'll come into use later, if there is a later *_*
As for whether Fool is more powerful or the Oracle is more powerful in combat is kind of a hard question to answer. Since the Oracle is consistently inside and doesn't have very much of a physical form, all the fighting is done by Fool. Internally, the Oracle can and will give Fool hints as to things she can do in combat (which comes up later), but she's really the one to think up her techniques and fight her own battles her own way. So, for example, that stomp-stick technique was her own thinking, whereas on the next page there's a scene where the two of them figure something out together! It's... kind of strange to explain : D
There are also incredibly rare instances where Fool NEEDS the Oracle to help her fight a battle, in which He will take over her body and using His skillz and stuff to fight. Fool's appearance changes when that happens, but I'll just leave it at this and not ruin any potential future spoilers :>

Damn girl, dem perspectives. I like this page, and it's nice that you didn't go overboard with effects either.
Additionally, the manface Fool problem is entirely fixed of course.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Perspectives are hard mang. I was also worried about going overboard with effects, but in the end all I wound up using was a gradient overlay on some layers and... doot doo doooo.
Manface is replaced with boobs. Hot.
Glad you like it

FINALLY GOT AROUND TO READING!
Oh man, Ave. This is awesome.
The colors are fantastic, and you make action look so EASY!
*jealous*
This is great! Can't wait to see more <3

I DIDN'T LEARN TO DO ACTION OVERNIGHT. That took the most time. Fighting scenes = my weakness! I can see it in my head but when it comes to translating it onto paper I'm just a pitiful smidge of the awesome I was intending.
I'm glad you like it though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Like it?
I LOVED it!
Yeah, I agree about the translating on to paper part.
Action, and colors are hard to translate for me. -.-
