Description
Tamiko and her sword, Ruach. I will post the process I did on this soon, just not tonight xD I really love how this turned out and will be posting it on my webcomic tumblr to update the cover image. I also changed the name of the story, which I will put on this image later. Everything is coming together slowly and I’m super excitedIt was funny too, my husband came up while I was working on this and said, "Oh I love the..um..lightbugs... wait that's not what they're called. What are they called?!" I responded, "You mean fireflies?" And he said, "Dang how could I forget that!" xD To be fair he's been on night schedule so I think it's messing with him a bit.

Thank you! It's hard to do, I use color dodge or hardlight and manipulate the oppacity. I might do another layer with an airbrush on the same layer mode/opacity to get it to "blend" better. It's a hard look to achieve tho xD

You're welcome! Well, they're also called "lightning bugs", so he was close, right?

Love it! And I really like the new name of the comic too; it seems fitting since it encompasses more than just Tamiko. I love the color choices and the way you added a sense of depth to the piece by having strands of the willow hanging in the foreground. That glow coming off Ruach is pretty intense too--adds a whole lot of mystery to the object, and why Tamiko is the one who happens to wield it!

Thank you! Yeah I find it more fitting. Tamiko is the main character but it will show parts of stories of other characters as well. I also was sick of everyone IRL saying, "Sounds like Book of Eli!" lol but thank you! I wanted it to have a mysterious aura about it

You're welcome!
Oh, oh no! xD And yeah, I can never just focus on one character either which is why there's four (proooobably more) main characters in Maelstrom.

It's hard! I think there's always a "main" character in stories but there's definitely a group of mains as well. You also want characters everyone can relate to in some way.

I was heavily inspired by LOTR in that respect! I like how he broke the books in three parts (for The Two Towers and Return of the King) and focused on smaller groups of the cast that way without overwhelming the reader.

Oh, very true! Man Tolkien did such a good job on so many things, it raises the bar so darn high xD
