Description Here's my entry for 's Chirault/Silversmith contest.
Basically, it's a cover page done in a more western design mostly because I've been working on cover designs for my own comic. Thought it would be good practice.

Personally, my favorite part of the whole thing is the logo at the top. Designed and made that one myself. The text is Caldera, the emblem thing is from the comic.

I wasn't sure what colour the big beasty was supposed to be, so I had fun with it. Would you believe it's base colour was purple?

Mytherea In reply to ThePoetRaven [2010-05-21 20:26:40 +0000 UTC]

Yep, I drew this.
It's done on a 17X11 sheet of bristol board, inked with pens, scanned, then coloured with photoshop with a few textures for the big beasty in the back.
Thank you!

Wow. Thank you so much!
And thanks for faving!

Published? I'm currently working on a comic that'll be done in a similar style, especially the colouring. If I really do go through with it, would you maybe buy it in print (if it were affordable and you were interested in it)? (Hate to ask, but I feel nervous about that sort of stuff and am running a sort of survey to judge whether to go with it)

Sorelliena In reply to Mytherea [2009-07-31 18:15:43 +0000 UTC]

Holy crap, I totally would Just note me with the ISBN number and I'll badger my parents

I was looking into publishing a book and dear lord it's a complicated process, so my best wishes with you

Mytherea In reply to Sorelliena [2009-08-01 01:40:26 +0000 UTC]

You won't have to buy it yet. The comic would be up here first, then printed, so you can read it before deciding to buy it. As for printing, I've got an easy printing company called Ka-Blam that I use. They're pretty stress free.

Varethane [2009-07-28 22:00:02 +0000 UTC]

Actually, the character of Teeko should be credited to ~RosedIllusions -- I kind of hijacked her character XD (with permission!)

This is BEAUTIFUL though! *A*

Mytherea In reply to Varethane [2009-07-28 22:29:26 +0000 UTC]

firehorsey In reply to Mytherea [2009-07-29 21:02:45 +0000 UTC]

No, actually. You have a habit of sometimes doggedly pursuing art projects, while I tend... to take a very long time to do them (long like weeks because I can't be bothered to get around to it long).

Mytherea In reply to firehorsey [2009-07-30 14:58:41 +0000 UTC]

lol. Woof!
Hey, I've been trying to do a lot of stuff over this summer. I have a whopping two pieces of art to show for it all. O_o Why?

firehorsey In reply to Mytherea [2009-07-31 22:28:07 +0000 UTC]

Um, because the pieces you do are detailed and stuff. That's why.

Oh, yeah. That's right. We'll go with that explanation.

It's better than the lazy truth.
