Description I want to learn more about conveying emotion, mood and story... so I did some panels for practice.  
Also to step up my line-art game.

Stuff is all random situations from my Emion project  (because I've obviously been writing too damn much lately XD)

For those that are interested;
1. Sato as someone messed up another mission
2. Aiden having (mad) science plans again
3. Aiden and Sato have a peculiar kind of relationship. Har har.
4. Yep. Sato and Masaru are legit bro's for life :')
5. Sato and Sergei, who aren't being friends (Then again, nobody is friends with Sergei XD)
6. Sato probably killed something again :')

Font can be found here
Screentones came from this website

Interesting.
Have you ever made a comic? This looks like good material for a comic.

DamaiMikaz In reply to EspyFur [2017-02-22 20:53:29 +0000 UTC]

Nope. I've never made a comic (aside from perhaps some scribbles I did when I was still a kid).
The characters and story are from my novel, so there is a story, but it's written ^^

I like how you've drawn sergei in this one! It makes him look more serious than normal! Before that he's looked like some punk who just wants to destroy everything, but in that picture, he looks more respectable, like a real villain! I think it's because it's taller and leaner in it. c:

DamaiMikaz In reply to HamishMitty [2017-01-28 10:48:05 +0000 UTC]

Everybody is tall compared to Sato XD

HamishMitty In reply to DamaiMikaz [2017-01-28 12:19:22 +0000 UTC]

Ahaha!

But he also looks leaner here! Like, more grown up proportions or something! You should compare with other pictures of him to see what I mean.

Although then again I could just be thinking of the fall of Darkrai. :/

DamaiMikaz In reply to HamishMitty [2017-01-28 12:49:33 +0000 UTC]

He didn't look young here either
     

But perhaps you mean the older pictures... where everybody looks younger XD

HamishMitty In reply to DamaiMikaz [2017-01-28 13:08:25 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I see now! Yeah, it probably was just the fall of darkrai, ahaha!

DamaiMikaz In reply to HamishMitty [2017-01-28 13:12:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Perspective is a bitch

The last panel is my favorite of them-- even though they're all REALLY good.
Sato's just bein' a badass and Masaru looks spooked xD

would it be too much to say Masaru looks cute in that panel? idk maybe that's just my weirdo self xD

Nicely done on the lineart though, I can see the improvement!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DamaiMikaz In reply to Mellanis [2017-01-28 06:50:46 +0000 UTC]

Sato has terrifying powers so it's reasonable for Masaru to be afraid every now and then. Any sane person probably would. Despite that they do make a good team. Sato is the impulsive one with the powers. Masaru is the smart once that makes the plans and keeps 'em out of trouble

Mellanis In reply to DamaiMikaz [2017-01-31 12:34:34 +0000 UTC]

I know I'd be scared for sure! xD
no but in all seriousness Sato and Masaru are my favorite out of your characters, with Anima and Lucy as close seconds!

DamaiMikaz In reply to Mellanis [2017-01-31 17:36:56 +0000 UTC]

Most people are afraid of Sato when they know about the powers XD
And there will be more of those two. I love writing about 'em in the story, so I'll make more art ^^

The last one is the strongest for me.
For starting a comic I'd give yourself a test run and do a short story first just to know what to expect, the longer you wait to start a comic the more you regret it later.
And you find you learn a lot when doing the actual comic.

DamaiMikaz In reply to Inui-Purrl [2017-01-28 06:45:49 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the advice. I did this mainly as a means to convey emotion better. I wasn't planning to do a full comic as I'm writing a novel already, but I have been planning on doing some shorter stories. The only thing I struggle with (besides the obvious art) is the writing. Writing (and paneling) comics is entirely different than writing for a novel.

Inui-Purrl In reply to DamaiMikaz [2017-01-28 11:17:33 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes, I use films and real life as a reference for that, you can't get it more emotional then the real thing right?
Oh yes I remember you saying you was writing. Hm I can understand the transition to novel and comic is hard. 
I had to cut down alot from an older version of my comic. 

I recommend looking at how films compose their shots, I know it's not comics, but it can be used in the same way.
I use this same method for my comic and it's improved it alot. Maybe look at comparisons of Book to Film. (I have some good Youtubers if you want them)

DamaiMikaz In reply to Catluckey [2017-01-27 23:40:40 +0000 UTC]

Hands are evil indeed T__T

And far from ready. I still need a shitload of practice. Mainly the character interaction stuff. It's so freakin' hard man

Catluckey In reply to DamaiMikaz [2017-01-27 23:42:49 +0000 UTC]

Tell me about it! I'm hoping my comic has enough quality to be considered "ready". I just dived into it and learned along the way. Even now I know I have to go back to fix artwork from beginning pages.

I'm excited to see how your story turns out!

DamaiMikaz In reply to Catluckey [2017-01-27 23:45:03 +0000 UTC]

Well... I'm still writing at least.
If it's ever gonna be a comic, I'll probably have to rewrite some scenes to make it more suited for comics

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Catluckey In reply to DamaiMikaz [2017-01-27 23:49:27 +0000 UTC]

That takes a total learning curve too...paneling, sequencing, dialog, thinking bubbles, narratives, sounds, great fonts, etc....yeah. BUT...if your novel is written well, everything else comic-wise will fall into place.

I've got a self-indulgent question...I'm scared to ask because you may find lots of wrongs (which may help)...but what do you think about my comic?
