Description
(edited on 24th April 2008)
Hi guys! Well like I have already mentioned on my latest journal I think it may be a good idea to show case volume one to give readers an insight on the quality of my work.
My progress so far: I've just finished 7 pages of the official 'to be published' graphic novel! ^^
Anyway here is my first page to kick start the official story of my cartoon series! Enjoy! ^_~
[NEXT PAGE] Page 02 & 03 [link]

Hope it becomes a cartoon series! ^-^ Still loving that Sonic style of yours, AND the new one! Keep at it! Can't wait to see the next oone!
Also, did you use to sketch the picture first before out-lining them? Juuuuuuuuuust wondering Also because I do -__-'' Therefore it is hard to colour them in coloured pencils when the sketch lines are there

Most of the time I try to draw it at first instance. The more you do it the less you have to worry about rubbing out sketches! It's just wasting time if you already know what you want to draw on the panel! ^_~ Though I do not disagree that a little planning helps! XXD When you're up to my level you'll be able to draw stuff from the head accurately and efficiently (i.e. fast!) ^_~

Hm...
So you already start to show us the pieces of the dream you've been talking and thinking about for the last months... So this is it. The first site...
And I like it... Yes. I like how you start the story, the introducing of the treasure travelling... I really have to think about what you told us in Heidelberg now... And you did a great job. I like the detail you put into the characters and the backgrounds as always. From its form it's reminding me of many other mangas and comics I already read, and it can stand next to them without a problem, Just great...
One Piece... One Piece... Everyone says One Piece... Inspiration is good, and we can see it, definatly... But I hope the plot will have some more changes. As far as you told me it will, and I believe in your talents as a good creative narrator here. You also told me once that you want to start a revolution with your cartoon... That wouldn't be possible with an One-Piece-Clone... But I trust in you that the Ashworth-Series will become a name for itself. ^^
So take your time, and do a good job.

Just two words....Awesome introduction^^
That treasure hunting reveals to be really a great adventure and I guess that much more treasures is going to reveal after that 20 years.
Is that somebody want to refer not just golden treasures? Kinda....someone that was been sealed somewhere in the island that has a power that can change the world????? And that someone that just randomly is a wombat that for just an idea his name is Ashworth????????????
Lol, that is going to really be interesting!!!!!!!!!
I never see the first volume of One Piece, but I know that your concept of treasure here is completely diferent from that series.
Keep on Elson, boa sorte!!
See you soon!

you are now the third person today who has started with a project you longed for so much! the other person also has the same dream of publishing the comic and i think she is really happy that people like her comic so much. and I am sure that you are happy too to have posted your first page of the porject you have been working on for so long. I know that feeling, because I felt just the same when i drew "Eternal Purity" for the first time... and when i started to post it here on DevArt.... and people liked it, I was the happiest person on earth.
The beginning is really well done, the drawing style interesting. I am curious for the next page.
keep up your good work. and enjoy drawing, from how you sound, I am sure you enjoy it too. I did when I started my project and still do love it. so may you enjoy it for a long long time too.

epicheather [2007-07-03 19:20:02 +0000 UTC]
Great page, artistically speaking. Two things though... (Which, I'm hoping you won't mind, considering that you are planning on selling these, and as such input back on it would help... x-x )
1. I have to agree with a few other people that it does have a One Piece inspired feel to it. Later on, of course, it won't, but right now it does.
2. In America 'artefacts' is spelled 'artifacts', but you could have the Australian way of spelling it...? I dunno. But, to me, it's spelled wrong... x-x;;

Oh gosh feel free to point out anything you wish to think about the cartoon series! XD
Yes indeed ONE PIECE is a major influence and I will do the honour of re-telling the treasure hunting story in a unique and refreshing way! ^_~
Oh and yes we Aussies and people from the UK spell artefacts in that fashion. ^_~

epicheather In reply to darkspeeds [2007-07-04 18:20:43 +0000 UTC]
I've lived in the UK before, so I figured that it might have been a different way of spelling. Just wanted to make sure though! ^_^ Can't wait to see more!

hmmmmmmmmm...this seems very familiar with One Piece. Just be careful how you put the story together.

Ha ha! Like I have already replied to the others regarding this issue: It is influenced from ONE PIECE concept. But it will be told in a different way - my original way. ^_~

Damn... you work fast at your comic than my manga. xD Eheh. Your art is way better, too. > < ;; Anyways, yeah. Always love your art. ^ - ^ I would comment on every artwork you post up here, but... yeah... I think it is kind of pointless when you have more comments than I do, and probably don't read them because you get to much. o . o ;; Eh, anyway, good first page. My first page sucked... but-it's only because I still need to try and make myself concentrate when I am drawing straight lines for panels. xD ;;

Dude you're downgrading yourself. Just practice and work hard on your drawing technique and you won't be dissapointed. ^^
And correction, I DO read all comments that people post (including notes)!

Hey Elson!
I'll deffinetly Buy a copy of your comic once it's available... But... one note...
>> I agree with "Cheesedork"
Your story is eerily reminiscent of One Piece...
The actual details may be different - but after reading it, One Piece is the first thing that came to mind...
Now, not that I'm a huge One Piece fan to BEGIN with...
------> But something about a location in the sea where someone said there is supposed to be a great deal of treasure just draw my mind there...
TO BE CLEAR THOUGH: THIS STORY IS OBVIOUSLY NOT LIKE ONE PIECE AT ALL...
It has to do with something else...we just don't know quite what yet...

darkspeeds In reply to Huepow00 [2007-07-04 05:20:44 +0000 UTC]
LOL! XXD Dude I will proudly mention in my graphic novel that ONE PIECE is a big influence on my cartoon series. I would like to do the honour or telling Eiichiro Oda's treasure hunting story in a different fashion, well in the original Darkspeed way.
