Redirect to original
Description
Eh... My mind goes there. What can I say?Switching gears, starting a new portfolio set... Almost. I learned a few new things between the next couple pages and the finished set, so this one is going into the "to be redone" pile - specifically, redrawing a few panels to make room for word balloons, putting more gutter in there so that the page can actually breathe. Definitiely gonna' have to totally revamp panel 4 - it's much too busy.
Also trying my hand at Sonix X sequentials. It's fun in its own way, a much more modern and city setting and all that, something I'm very familiar with drawing. Anyway... Filler for now, gonna' sit down and redraw this page. ^^

Eventually we all go there. Still perfect none the less.

Uh, uh. You so put that title to get more hits, didn't you? Kidding.

I was gonna say, rethink your title, bro... But awesome! Is that a combot they're fighting?

Haha! Thanks. It isn't a Combot specifically, though that was on my mind. I didn't bother to look up the reference for it, so whatever similarities that 'bot has to a Combot are pure "I think I remember that..."

No really, all it needs is the camouflage design on its armor, and it could totally pass for a combot. I have an issue of Sonic with "Spaz's Sketchbook" and his designs for the combot are CRAZY AWESOME.

WHOA, what's that tentacle doing to Sonic? o_O
Only critique is that Amy has very little expression in panel 2. I can't tell if she's worried or angry, to be honest. But otherwise, very nice indeed. On a sidenote, what pen do you use?

Pen, or pencil? ^^ I like to sketch in ballpoint pen. But when I'm doing a page like this, I use pencil. I sketch the page with a 2H mechanical .5; I then erase panel by panel, using the very light, indentation as a guide on which I really flesh out the pencils (using a 4H and 5H).

Greatest...title...EVER. >____<
You know I really like the detail in the buildings, and I'd like to see more of that incoperated in the panels! It'd really add a plus to your portfolio! Your mechas are AWESOME!

Haha! Thanks Tigs! Alas, there isn't TOO much BG detailage in this set. For the portfolio, I was doing one set action, one set talking again. And on action pages - especially as text-heavy as the Sonic X pages are (even during action scenes) - there usually isn't much room for BGs.
(Ie, those buildings in panel 3 - an editor looking at this page and looking at the script would probably have told me not to even bother drawing them in, they'd just be covered by the word balloons.)

Rouge+Tentacles...Man what a rip, was actually expecting RougeTentcles. Oh well, great lineart! Love Eggman's face in the bottom panel.

Haha! Well, if the price was right, I might go there. .......Na-a-a-a-ah.
I want a gig at Archie - I'd imagine Sonic porn would somehow come back to haunt me.

Wow do you do that with a pen? My hands are so shakey and I always mess up the lines!
Nice work! Very animated feel to it!

herms85 In reply to kayona-kim [2006-05-10 05:22:50 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! Nah, not pen. Pencil.
If it looks like pen, though, it's because this is a photo-copy of the original artwork - I draw these on 11x17 inch Bristol boards, and I don't have a scanner big enough for that and reassembling them after scanning is kinda' "bleh." By making a reduction via a copy machine, though, I can easilly scan pages in and share. ^^ (Hence it would look like pen, then, I suppose. XD)
I do sketch alot in ballpoint, though - my sketchbook for four years in highschool WAS my school notes, so it's sorta' what I'm used to.
