Description So I'm starting a very short comic based off of an RP I'm doing with my friend Rachel. I say short, but it'll probably end up longer than I plan, that is if I can keep my ass in gear and drawing it!!

Experimenting with what medium I want to do this in. This is the first panel, and I did it purely digital - straight inks. I didn't allow myself to sketch or erase too much. I wanted to find a nice medium between time and quality, because clearly each panel cannot be a masterpiece! Or I shall drive myself insane slowly. So here is the first panel experiment. I like it, so I'll likely keep it. Here's hoping for a full page soon!

And that is a pen in his mouth, not a cig! 8C

Late on saying it, but way cool. Love the background especially, with the way it fades out so neatly.

i love his face for some reason, and his tie-belt. more people need to embrace the tiebelt. or not. it might be less happy if the masses started doing it.

I like this a lot. There are some details, but only ones that matter, and even then, not too many. It's cool that way. Makes it seem like watching someone pass quickly, because you can't really stop to look at all the other details.

Freakconformist [2006-06-27 16:37:08 +0000 UTC]

haha, how true. XD
This panel really makes him look elven, everybody else is just abit taller, stockier, clumbsier, less eccentric looking. I was wondering, was that on purpose, or just the way it came out?
And of course hes headed in the wrong direction too. XD

Twas on purpose! Kalle's an odd cookie, so I wanted to show that off the bat. Thank you~~ <3

fyr3lyt3 [2006-06-27 16:21:54 +0000 UTC]

I feel like some of the image is getting lost because of the lack of variation in line weight. I'm feeling like maybe Kale's lines could be a bit heavier to better seperate him from the girl behind him. Oh and random side note, that girl being the only "background" person with detail makes her seem preternaturally important (which isn't actually a critique, just something I noticed heh)

fayrenpickpocket In reply to fyr3lyt3 [2006-06-28 01:13:18 +0000 UTC]

Good crits!! Thank you. Im adamant about not putting too thick lineweights in this comic, because more than anything I want to capture motion, and thicker lineweights kill the motion in my drawings. There are supremely talented people who can still not make a drawing look STILL AS ALL FUU' when they put on thicker lines, but alas - I am not one of them. But you are correct on the background girl! I'll probably be erasing a bit on her to make her blend better.

fyr3lyt3 In reply to fayrenpickpocket [2006-06-28 04:10:20 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I fail at line weight variation mostly, its secretly why I like to work in color, I can define depth with JUST color and win XD;
Although actually I think simplifiying that one girl will help at least keep Kale standing out from the crowd, its really not a big deal if the crowd blend together and such I think. <3

junon [2006-06-27 09:26:35 +0000 UTC]

i like it, my only critique is that he looks short?

is he supposed to be?

Its a result of an optical illusion being created by the guy in the business suit and the leg belonging to someone even further in the background beneath him, a simple fix would be to shrink the business head or move some back ground feet closer on the plane to the central figure... i should be in bed
