Description I suspect this page will only be around for a week or so... haha


Here's a sneak peek on how Mercy looks like for issue 1, page 5, though there's still more changes to how her hair and fashion sense will look. It seems I am not very fashion savvy... and have to be reminded time and again how is the current fashion movement. So don't be surprise when you get this book and they look dif from this...hahaha.

So what do you guys, think. I still believe my original take is more interesting.

thanks...err, can I ask you a question? Your DA mentioned you're located in Japan...are you a fellow Malaysian residing there or a Japanese who speaks Malay? Interesting...


Anyway, hope to see you here again.

yeah, Alan, your original take on her is more visually interesting than this one.

I like the "josh was here" -- nice touch.

Are you gonna ink your work or is someone else (or going straight to colors)?

Thanks, Elton... oh yeah, definitely direct to colors for this book too. I don't really need to get them inked as the lines are clean enough for colors, Just like Anywhere...

I'm kinda with you in that I think the original looked more interesting style wise. Granted tho is this before she turns devil or is this the consistent look for the whole book?

(I liked the eighties-ish vest and high water pants of the original Mercy. And the sneakers X( I will be sad to see them go. They gave a nice retro and sassy feel to her character design. Who says devils have to keep up with the latest fashions anyways? )

As far as crits go...the biggest picture of her feels maybe a little rigid in the posture. It took me a minute to understand the picture I guess she is in an alleyway somewhere remembering when she got kicked out? but maybe the colors will help. Her face is also a little uneven looking. I think if it had been me I would have shown her walking through the alleyway with either her hands jammed in her pockets, or her arms wrapped around herself to show she's feeling pretty low and miserable or maybe even rubbing her neck or shoulders to indicate she's frustrated.

However those buildings are fantastic and the posture of the bro telling her to get out is just spot on. I always liked how you make all the elements of a picture come together in mind-bending ways. It gives it a excellent surrealistic feeling. It's like seeing a dream Good luck with this I will definitely keep an eye out for the book!

Funny enough the eyes were the strongest appeal on this page and probably the easiest to draw.

It was tough to handle... hahah... the decisions and indecisions for some lines there was a big issue when I lay em out. Glad that they turned out fine.
