Description
Yes, it's finally the last page of chapter 3! FINALLY!Artistically one of the most challenging pages I've had to draw, despite only having 2 panels. All five major characters, walking, at a diagonal angle shot and in full colour on one panel! Gnaaagh!
Having seen this page, I'm no longer in any doubt about switching from black and white to colour. I just looked at the finished result and thought, 'yeah, this looks so much cooler than it did in black and white'. The moment of glee I felt as I lowered the marker to colour Rekki's iconic bright red hair...man, I got shivers!
Happy day after halloween, guys! You all rock! I hope you enjoy this page, and the continuing comic as it goes into....CHAPTER FOUR!

Ooh, group shot! The colors look wonderful, they oughta make a crayola crayon based on that shade of red in Rekki's hair. : P I'm amazed at how you didn't have to pull any fancy coloring tricks to make them turn out so well. I guess good color choice and stylistic simplicity go a long way.
"happy day after halloween"(?!) Geez, I must have been out longer than I thought... Sorry for missing out on so many new pages! >_<

Hahahaha, no problem. I keep going missing from DA at the moment myself. I always end up with a big backlog of pictures when somebody decides to upload everything they've drawn or photo'ed in the past month all at once >_<'
Hmm, I do own a nice Rekki red pencil crayon, (it was the inspiration to do her hair that colour in the first place, the fact that I loved the pencil crayon). I would name the colour something like 'crimson', or 'tulip red', but I'm not sure of it's official name. Lots of people in fanart draw Rekki with orangey tomato red hair, but actually is more of a pinkish red like a rose.

Hahahahahahahaa. Yeah. Many times have I laughed over the fact that when it all boils down to it, FanDanGo is TOTALLY a sentai team comic! I'm going with:
Rocket=The mystical white one.
Rekki=The red one, the hotheaded leader.
Sarin=The blue one, who is ALWAYS the smart one, in every sentai team EVER.
Subo=The green one, the tough, calm one.
Juliet
Worryingly, a number of the character's personalities and colours transcribe perfectly to Sailor Moon. I never noticed this when first creating the comic, hahahahahahaa.

Man, I love the angle in the final panel. I wish I could pull that off so well.
I'm glad you're deciding to stick with colour. It really makes everything stand out. Your lineart is very distinctive and good on it's own, and the black and white looked neat, but the colour gives it a real extra... something. I'll call it oomph, because I like to say "oomph". (Try it, it's fun.)

Being able to draw on an angle like that is a perk of drawing with non-digital media. I mostly just turned my drawing board diagonally hahahahahahaha.
Oomph is a good word. Colour just kind of looks right with the comic, like that's how everything is meant to be.
