Description
Adler's Prelude - CraftyHere is another color work for Adler's Prelude. Here we get to know some more about Ashien that might surprise a lot of people. It sure surprised Andria.
I've had this idea for a while. Just seems kind of ironic. One who doesn't wear clothes, normally, is talented in making them herself.
Here we also get a look of Ashien when she was about twelve years old. I was going for a sort of "rice paper" texture on these flashback panel. I really wanted to sell that this is the past. The texture didn't turn out as well as I would like, but still came out pretty good.
Not sure many will pick up on this, but Yuriko is just waving. Seems she's learned to wave, and Adler's finding it so interesting.
The setting is a play date for the kids in Ashien's home. Explains why she's dressed like that, or should I say 'not'?
I'm rather pleased with the coloring of this page in general. Lot of little details and in many of the panels the backgrounds were completely digitally made. It can be kind of tricky to get that tatami rug look right.
I'm wondering if anyone will notice the pattern of Adler's kimono is based on.
I look forward to everyone's thoughts on the picture.

Ashien just enjoys being nude. She at least wears a top most of the time. Where is is now is much cooler then where she comes from.

lols .. that a new bit of info about Ash ... good to know that she is using he skills for Adler ... i too like to make things by myself ( not clothes though ) ^_^
It also ironic ( and funny ) that she is quite good at making clothes yet hates to wear them

FoxxFireArt In reply to Hunter-Wolf [2008-06-02 23:21:14 +0000 UTC]
Thanks.
Ashien's skills at making clothes just happens to benefit Adler. Sort of taking something that she enjoys and doing something for someone she loves. It also makes him look cuter.
Ash would prefer sitting around the house nude, but when she does wear clothes she can be rather picky.

Interesting .. does that mean that all Ash's clothes are made by her too .... hmm .. so what about things like shoes and other acc. .. does she actually go shopping for them or make them too ?

Mostly. Lot for her own clothes are her own creation. Mostly she wear simple sandals. She can buy those in store, but also makes them. For the most part she walks barefoot.

I'm curious how many will still be interested when they get a peek at her darker side. People have mostly just seen her cuter side when she's with Adler since he brings it out of her.

Lovely feel good story line and surprise 'ending'. The art and colouring looks pro of course.
Just curious, since you bake, do you also sew?

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with the color work on this one.
So far people have gotten so see Ashien's kind and sweet side with Adler. I do have an idea that shows off her darker side. Not directed toward Adler though. Just some seriously unlucky thugs.
Yes I can also sew, but I don't really do things as complicated as clothing. I did make my own Roman blinds for my bedroom.

msklystron In reply to FoxxFireArt [2008-04-26 13:08:11 +0000 UTC]
Knowing about her sweet side makes Ashien more real and sympathetic.

Before Adler I wouldn't call her cold hearted. More closed hearted.
They aren't that hard to make. Once you know the basic idea of them. You can make them on the cheap and they look nice.

I understand what you mean.
I can sew almost anything (I learned at my mom's knee and she's an expert), but I haven't tried the blinds. I should.

hillarious dont see that much in a comic about a single mom and her kid keep it up you balance comedy and feelings so wel and your style is so like Fred P. work and yet different ill be watching out for your first publications altough it will probaly be impossible to get them in holland. (ps sorry for my grammar)

Thanks. I just like the idea of getting to know the hero of a story when they are small and the relationship he has with his mother.
I'm a big fan of Fred Perry's work. He see him as my artistic idol. I've never had so much fun drawing in this free formed manga style.
Your grammar isn't that bad. More your punctuation.

hee the possibilitys for naughty stuff is great but bring it gently to much trolls here and i dont get it in artistic nudes you can see everything but hardly any get banned like Levelord (thank god he is back) so i dont get it but iam Dutch and we got quite liberal views on eroticisme and jokes but alas even here we got trolls and puritans but please continue the good and especialy funny work.

Ashien looks pretty good in those hakama pants.
