PAINTED! Dedication Page for Chapter One

Well I have officially restarted my original graphic novel in traditional media. I'm not sure if I'm done "tweaking" this image or if I will add more layers to it later but either way the basic layout is done. Enjoy and please tell me what you think!

I had a lot of fun with this page I can not emphasize enough that while I'd love feedback these particular animals were not "developed" so please be gentle with the critiques of their anatomy and stylizations, I meant for them to be sort of "sketchy" and have some fun while sharing some of my basic species designs.

X3 I love the comic so far. teehee~
On the other hand... this page and the next one aren't linked to any of the other pages! Though you've linked them here, when I clicked the "first page" button, I got back to the cover, and when I pressed "next," it started on the page with Sister water, Brother fire and brother air...

Hmm looking over this are you hitting next at the top of the page of my gallery or my thumbnail on the artist's comments? Because to me the thumbs are in order...

YukiCormyr In reply to Eviecats [2010-03-22 15:21:33 +0000 UTC]

I was hitting the thumbnail, but my computer might've just been acting up. XD" I don't know.
Hm... Maybe I just missed something.
I think it was more when I was going through the "previous" than the "Next," but I don't really recall.
Sorry! D:

Awww, I like the ending phrase of the dedication and I like how you shaded the hippo and elephants in this one :3 Though I must admit, I'm not a fan of the rainbow background, but that's probably because I dislike vibrant things and rainbow colored things

But real rainbows and what they represent in society is awesome 83

Eviecats In reply to lilwyverngirl [2010-02-16 20:14:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah i wanted to make this page as colorful as possible to show the whole spectrum of combinations and possibilities within nature, hence I stayed away from the actual color execution order of natural rainbows

Bilashakala [2010-02-12 17:45:52 +0000 UTC]

Well, I really like the "sketchyness" and the whole stylization of the different animals, because that makes the scene or better the page so unique looking and it also fits perfectly to "we are all painted with the same brush" XD So awesome job on that!!! ^.^
Also like all the different colors you used as backgrounds for the different animals, because that makes the picture just so colorful and stand out!!! Also awesome coloring job ^.^ Have to say that you really did great on all the animals' details!!! So that's just another awesome page from you and I think it was really the right decision to make the comic in traditional media instead of making it digital, because so it shows much more emotions and feelings ^_^

LOL!! I think anyone who knows you,knows you are a much better artist than what is portrayed here and that the intention here is Very clear.
Great work,I love the dedication part I think that is so very sweet.And the quote "We are all painted with the same Brush." That is very a very unique and true statement.

"We are all painted with the same brush."

That's probably one of the most beautiful phrases about life I've ever heard.

The artwork seems whimsy and fun. It's very cute to go with the dedication. :}

Thank you, I'm glad you like it, it's going to be the moral of the little prologue myth as well It's also going to correlate with why the dogs take in a kitten later on. hehe ^+^

Aww, that's so sweet. Like how there was that lioness that kept taking care of and watching over gazelle fawns that got separated from their mothers. Things like that in nature are so inspiring.

Yeah I love that show episode, I forget her name now, but it was so sad when the male lion got one of them near the end.... And they try to say animals can't love!

Mhm. I think they do, just not in the human manner. Of course, to most people, human-like love is the only one that counts :{
