Description Here's the next set of preview pages! Thanks for checking them out and for the replies! The relationship between Stream and Ruby is one that I want my readers to embrace before I set out and illustrate a story about Ruby when she's in her teens.

Just wait till she meets up with Ashworth... Things will get even better from there.


P.S. Page 121 featured the famous fortune hunter Cartel 'The White Diamond' and his crew mates (which include Jasten - guy with the horn - & Ramsey - guy with the beard and bold head)

I'm inclined to think Stream is a descendant of Cartel. It is an unbreakable rule that when someone has an ancestor somewhat important to the story, they must look almost exactly alike, and this seems to be no exception.

Oooo! I think we're on to something here. Thanks for sharing your insight on what you believe may probably hold true in the story HeadShot-X.

*Bites lip, and stares* Is that... a quick shot of.... LEON! EEE! *Fangirl squeal* He looks so cute all serious and darky looking like that! Eeee!

*Coughs* Ahrm....

Right, then. It's really nice to see these previews, but looking at them, it makes me wonder. Is Stream recounting tales, stories or legends to Ruby, or is Ruby remembering things in the past? Or is it a little of both. I guess time will tell. Either way, the TGAF crew are looking better than ever! And hey, the sooner Ruby meets Ashworth, the sooner Leon shows up more. *Squeal*

Ha ha ha! You're like the biggest fan of Leon ever... XXXD I can imagine the red carpet moment when TGAF crew comes out of the limo and Leon walks to the side and notices you - signs your book/diary/pad and you go - *sigh* 'Leon just came over to me and signed my book... Huuur!'



But yeah that's a good question you've asked. As I've explained this to Ana the other night on Skype it's just one of those things that didn't happen yet. Stream is explaining a theory but me as the artist compliments it with a foreshadow of the characters that will appear in the story. So all that you see in that page is 'what's possible' kind of situation.

I wouldn't doubt it. Well, first I'd be absolutely shocked. Then I'd squeal, say the sentence in question, then faint into his arms... *Just goes on rambling in a fan-girl fashion* XXXDDDD

I see! Well that really does explain it. ;3 So Stream is Telling Ruby about the world (or something like that), and as a foreshadow you popped in the TGAF crew. Wicked!

AH GOD! Teh Guild made it first cameo appearence!!!!!! (is a flashback of Stream? Probably was been when he talked about them....)
And there appeared Cartel! IΒ΄m still amused about, you know...
Is an arc of a conversation about....adventures, XD A quite long dialogue will be inserted there, I wonder what will talk about them. CanΒ΄t wait

AND ASHWORTH IS IN FEW PAGES TO MAKE HIS FIRST DEBUT IN THE SERIES! Hurray

darkspeeds In reply to SoftKeychains [2008-07-26 08:44:42 +0000 UTC]

Yes Ashy-boy will come real soon!

I really can't wait to show what his character is all about! Be sure to see him when I come back from my trip after 24th August 2008!

The comics will be released as according to schedule on the website - every WEDNESDAYs and SATURDAYs. ^^

The TGAF Guild's cameo appearance in Stream's example when discussing a point with Ruby was just a mere teaser... Kind of a preview of them but it didn't really happen at that time or before his explanations. It is something to be looking forward to when Ruby is all grown up.

Previews are always fun to look at. x3 I like getting a sneak peek at what's to come, despite not fully knowing. Hm...Cartel and Stream have the same hair. Ruby looks so cute; I wanna hug her. x3 Hey, I see Ash and the gang!

darkspeeds In reply to CCG [2008-07-26 06:19:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah Cartel and Stream... They may resemble something similar in the relationship of where they come from and how they look... You'll never know...

Yes indeed it's Ashworth and the gang. Ashy-boy's comin' real soon!

Whoops! XXD


3) Ha ha! This is the most ironic thing, even though I'm considered a pro I don't use stuff that the pros use! Well that's sort of a half-truth answer but to start from the traditional media I only use pacers and pencils I buy from my local stationery store.

If you must know what I'm using at the moment it is a (erm... *checks pacer for a label) TecniClick from Pentel 0.5mm! These lasted my since I drew my first page to my official TGAF web-manga! The pencils I use are of Faber Castel brand (either the gold and blue striped ones or the full green suit). for all the sketching I used 2B with the pacer. For extra textures I use the various types of shapes and weights on the leads of pencils from the Faber Castel range (from F to 6B)

wow u must have some pretty trusty and long lasting supplies.......
my problem is that my lead last long but the eraser is gone quickly.......
and pretty much its "how u use your supplies, not what supplies u use" in some cases which you prove!
i only asked cause i gonna go to the art store soon...
once again thanks

Your most welcome dude. The most important thing (once again) is to buy/use something that you're comfortable with and something that works for you. Experiment by trying out all sorts of pencil/lead types until you find the right one.
