Description
A concept sketch/painting for the next Epexsus comic volume: "Makota's Training Days"This is Makota, with a large man named Cain, who gets introduced in the comic.
Cain's possibly the nicest, biggest and strongest guy you'll meet in all of Epexsus. Although he doesn't get out much and he's not super bright, like at all... he'll take any opportunity he can to make a new friend. This is him picking up Makota to take him to a place that will also be introduced in the comic! (it will also explain why Makota's practically half-naked here.)
I'm only working on writing this comic right now though, don't worry. Still using most of my free creative time to work on Episode 2 and get it all finished up. This is like my second or third full colored illustration in Paint Tool Sai, I'm still majorly testing new waters here though, doing the line art was straightforward and fun, but painting the background was an adventure all on it's own. Gotta start somewhere though eh?

Loving it I can't wait to see more from EPEXSUS. Cain looks like the funny and kind big brother type.

I haven't tried coloring my Sai drawings in Flash, mainly cause I need to learn how to paint properly. However, it's mainly the strokes and general shading that I believe really needs work. Also, I don't quite see what you see judging by your critique either XD those things you specified don't have much to do with my inexpertise with Sai actually, these are very close to the same colors that I use in all my other night illustrations or animations... I'm really trying to make "beach tan" out of Makota's skin color right now as I look at it but I just can't... maybe the colors on your monitor are slightly off? Or I may very well be colorblind... who knows. Hahah
And Makota's hair isn't floating up, that's just his messy, crazy hairdo. Β
Oh well, we'll have to agree to disagree I guess! Β

Maybe she's talking about his headband(?) ? Β It is roughly the same color as the branch behind his head, so I can see how it looks like there's just some strange gap between his forehead and hair.Β
