Description So this is the WIP for the comic that I'm doing for my portfolio that'll send to Gothenburgs University. Inspired mostly by Lana Del Rey's song 'Dark Paradise'. Here's the [link] to the song.

Feel free to give me both good and bad critique, because I really want - and NEED - this to be the best piece I've ever done, if I'll be sending it as a part of my portfolio.

As this is only the WIP, the pictures are VERY 2D, with little to no shading, no colors and hardly any backgrounds, so that I already know and I will of course fix that for the finished piece.

PLEASE comment!!

UPDATE
And here's the finished and colored version:


Do not copy or steal! D:<

Art, Avery Shepard Β© me.
Thane Krios, Mass Effect Universe Β© BioWare.

Mostly because I used some of my old random sketches as references when I drew that one, because I was too lazy to do so many new faces. But since this is just the sketch, there will be a lot of chances, especially on the skyline-picture. ^^

First of ALL, it's OFFICIAL! All great minds must be think alike!!! Geez, I designed Jane having a moment like this with her gun too!!! But of course only this, I had Garrus to talk to her and blah blah blah details that you don't have to know! But I suppose ALL of use thought JUST once this moment for at least ONE of our Shepards.
Anyway, to the details, I liked the concept, loved all panels but especially the 3rd and the last (note: the last you HAVE to have it as a stand alone too, it's SO awesome), your sketching is clean, and you did a great job with Thane himself and his armor!
It already looks great, so I can only imagine that colored will look FANTASTIC!!!!
Though I think that you can lower the size of your text! I mean, it will not 'steal' so much attention from the drawing and still it will be visible!
This is great Amanda, can't wait to see it finished!

I think most of us ME-fans, at least all Shrios lovers, has at least one of these moments with their Shepard I have a similar moment in mind with Garrus too, but it won't be as dramatic though I think ^_^

Thank you for the critique, and I will keep it in mind. I was already going to make the text smaller, but I just wanted to make sure it was visible for the sketch

And thank you again, I'm glad you liked it!

You are welcome gorgeous! As for the text is very visible yes, I think that you can lower it surely 2 sizes down. I am sure it will be visible with more, but 2 sizes are for sure.... Pffft I am bumbling you know the drill anyway!!! Can't wait to see it completed!!!

Wow this caught me off guard, and I must say this has a hell of a lot of emotion in it. Man tears are popping up.

AmandaKitswell In reply to AmandaSylvia [2012-04-24 01:18:25 +0000 UTC]

I love it, sweet thing. It honestly breaks my heart to see something like this, knowing what happens. And don't think I missed that nod to Dark Paradise in panel 9. You put a hole in my heart with that line, dear. I'll be keeping an eye out for the colored version, but this uncolored is just perfect already. I know it won't be easy for you to continue on with it, but like I've been saying since you started, I have faith.

I'm so happy that you love it, and that it moves, because I can't remember the last time I worked so hard on something, and I haven't even finished it yet! But knowing that people like it so far makes it worth all the pain, and I will definitely finish it!

Thank you again!
