Description Hooch. Starts. To crack.

I dramatically reduced the size of everyone's eyes. This meant I could do a much more effective close up on Hooch's eyes in panel 3. I tried a close up on Janitor's eyes in an earlier comic and they were so big and white it just looked weird.

I shoved some of the character designs forward too, to make their differences stand out. For example, JD's prominent nose is more... prominent, and Turk's head is rounder. See, I felt that my drawings of people just looked like slight variations on a base model rather than different to each other. Does that make sense? I want everyone I draw, at least the protagonists, to really look like individuals, rather than just a base figure with different hair and skin colour.

In regard to colour, well, as I said heavy detail on Hooch's eye close up, drawing with the colour rather than just my usual pointing and clicking.

I haven't seen 6 yet! I'm only up to 5.

I know JD looks really different from before, but Im trying something out with the design. It's not done yet, still needs refining.

Fantastic stuff! You've really brought your A game here with texturing the fabrics, and I love Hooch's possessed smile.

Hooch is really crazy.

If I had any kind of crit, it would just be that the back of J.D's head got a little flattened in the last panel.

Yeah, I know, I know... I could see a problem with his face shape, but I just didn't hate it enough to change it. Dare I say, I almost liked it. But I do agree with all you guys, it doesn't really suit the rest of the page.

Thanks for the words! It really does mean alot 'cos I spent so. Fucking. Long on it. I am way behind on my coursework...

Jesus, you're telling me. Of course, the reason I'm behind on my coursework is because of all of my crazy sex parties. Yeah. Yeah, international playboy right here.

Lexclamation In reply to dreamsofdark [2008-02-26 16:49:58 +0000 UTC]

I noticed it was different, but I didn't think it looked squished... I thought it was just ultra stylised.

Stylised into a squished shape... hm.

i guess if you look at it long enough it doesn't seem as bad.
But just for the sake of nagging: ZOMG JDs HEAD IN T3H LAST PANEL.
Okay, I'm done now.

P.S. Nice fade on Hooch's hair there. I assume the gradient tool? Or some fanciness beyond my ken?

Lexclamation In reply to FloydPinkertonJones [2008-02-26 16:37:36 +0000 UTC]

Gradient, but I'm feeling there must be a better way to potray a shaved head.

FloydPinkertonJones [2008-02-26 04:30:22 +0000 UTC]

Nice detail on the eyes there. One thing; JD's head looks kinda like it's been squished in a vice in that last panel there.

*checks out Janitor comic* Whoa, that's quite a different look there. Almost... almost like Scrubs Babies.

...

Dude, you should totally draw some Scrubs Babies comics in that early big ol' eye look. Totally. Dude.

WOO, thanks for saying about the eyes. I really tried with those eyes. But as thankful as I am, I will not be drawing Scrubs babies. Although... NO, no.
