Description
Page 1 of the comic ~ToxicToothpick and I are working on together. I'm going to upload the pages to DA for now, at least until I figure out what else I'd do with them.I plan to try toning or coloring this (or possibly both) but I can't decide on a style yet so you're going to get the bare bones, freshly brush-inked look. Basically this is a page purely un-fiddled-around-with, save for a few minor corrections.
I am trying a lot of new things with this so critiques are welcome! Expect updates on Mondays and Thursdays. I'll try to be as regular as school permits.
LEMME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

If you're going to colour it, please don't make it look like you coloured it digitally. Or do it in greyscale. Or use screentones. It would fit the style, at least on this page. c:

I was thinking about screentones, but I see your point. I'll think of something!

Beautiful, you must have spent a lot of tie on this comic. About how long did it take you to do a page?
And what do you do and what does tt do? :U

It really depends on what's happening on the page. I draw pretty quickly but inking can take longer if I want to get detailed with it. Probably between 2 and 4 hours from blank page to fully inked and lettered.
dave and i came up with the story together, and then he handed the reins to me and i'm rolling with it now.

Oh, I thought you might be doing a script/artist duo team up thing.
Yeah, the thing that scares me about inking is the possibility of messing up D:

Is white ink more expensive than black ink?

Wow, this is really wonderful black and white work from you. It reminds me a lot of the scenery in Bone.
I wish I could crosshatch like that awesome right thar.

I need to read Bone ffffff!!
when you get right down to it, crosshatching's really nothing more than scribbling very carefully :I
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but you need to know what you're doing to do it carefully >.< I can never get it to look natural within the scenery and in my style :/
Kudos to you for being able to do so

I really like it! I like the raw feel it has, seeing that there are no perfectly straight lines anywhere. It's something I prefer! I also really like the hatching on the rocks as I already am imagining your characters in the picture as well. Your character designs have very awesome silhouettes and simple shapes that are incredibly strong so I think the hatched background + simple characters is going to be rockin' and rollin'.
I am also lovin' the fact that you seem to really put thought into where you place your text bubbles/boxes because I hate when they look plopped on regardless of whether or not it works composition wise. I'm excited to see the rest!
Good luck with school and comics. Mmmm comics!

I am a big supporter of the idea that captions and bubbles shouldn't interfere with the way the panel looks, they need space to breath just like everything else! :U
thanks so much!

This is purely fantastic, mad. It looks like there is color, when there is only black and white, and it just makes me think about how detailed and intriguing your work can be. Though being realistic, it also reflects your style, which is just really hard to do.

i'm glad you think so! that means a lot :'D

The Ground is well done, My only worry is the lack of definition in the sky. if it will be colored that would make sense though.

mmyes, i do think it NEEDS to be colored, i just need to figure out a neat style first.

Water color is GREAT for landscapes, but I personally always found them tricky to use.

WOOOOO!!!!
Awesome beginning!
A narrator? Or the voice of one who'll be seen soon? HMMM? Who's voice would you have the narrator be?
Just love the exposition of the scene.... a great view to get our grip on the surroundings!
