Description Beware of text walls!

Just to make sure. This little project was done during the last two months (slow I know, but I really hadn’t that much free-time lately ;_;').

It started mainly as a flash practice I did to test out some new things. Still I ended up putting too much effort into it. ||OTL
Experimented with different techniques and gimmicks which I may use for my next serious interactive comic (…) I just did to spam your inboxes. *cough cough*
Ah well, well so I’m not sure whether this “Tutorial” will be helpful. But I added some little extras to make the read a bit more enjoyable.
And I really had fun doing the layout (ha ha took me probably the longest besides the programming).

Lust but not least. This little comic is dedicated to my friend ~Yumaki , since the painting is part of her epic fan book project. And also I want sent many hugs to my watchers. Really thanks for being there and supporting me.


Stay tuned and healthy everyone.


Edit. Oh - my - god! Seriously all of you are just awesome. <3 ;A;
I'm totally awestrucked right now... Awww really thank you for all the nice feedback.

Edit2. Holy cow! A DD?!! You guys rock, THANKS!!!

Dematerialization In reply to ??? [2011-12-05 23:57:51 +0000 UTC]

*O* Wow, thank you so much! This is absolutely amazing! I think I'm definitely going to try some of this. : o This tutorial is really, really helpful!

I have a question, but if we scanned up a pencil sketch, do you kind of just paint over it all in one different layer? Maan, just using one layer takes a lot of patience. oAo

DragonOlong In reply to Dematerialization [2011-12-14 08:38:10 +0000 UTC]

Aww, dear thank you so much I'm glad if it was a little helpful for you. ;v; <3

Regarding your question yeah when I scan something I use another layer and just over-paint the sketch. I know it takes a little bit longer at the beginning but it also gives you more freedom in my opinion. QvQ

Pummelpanda In reply to ??? [2011-12-05 18:51:23 +0000 UTC]

This is helpful and easy to understand, thanks a lot! <3 In addition, I think that it is always interesting to see how an artist works; what does he/she think of before drawing? What is very important in their point of view? Any tips for newbies?
I already have collected experience regarding your way of creating a picture when we worked on our collaboration; but reading this tutorial was very refreshing and educational, too!

DragonOlong In reply to Pummelpanda [2011-12-14 08:34:05 +0000 UTC]

Aww, Chrissi you're way to kind. Really dear thank you so much for your wonderful and lovely comment. ;A; <3
Also I hope we get the chance to make a collab someday again. It was so much fun with you~

By the way I'm lately a bit inactive with commenting but I did saw your Persona cosplay. SO GOOD! ´w`

Ha ha I just realize that I answered in English as well though we both have no problem with writing German. XD

PS. Soon is Christmas and your birthday. Looking forward to it.~
