Description Submitting this one day early because I'm impatient like that. Blame it on the Tetons.

Man I am learning SO MUCH from inking this by hand. Expect lots of little changes in the first fifteen pages as I figure lots of things out.

Feedback is always welcome!

This is awesome sauce, man! xDD Seriously! And I second you on that one. >__> I'm doing a comic by hand at the moment too (getting photoshop in a few months though) and I'm really learning alot from it. Page three of mine looks so much different from page one.

...Except, page three is in the middle of being inked. >__> In only a few pages I've seen hints of style changes from myself and learned some better ways around certain things lol

I love colouring things from my comic though, so much fun lol

Yeah, that's my favorite part of doing comics, actually! Seeing yourself improve and seeing your own style evolve - it's awesome

I agree 110% with that. xDD SOmetimes it's a bit frustrating though >__> I was doing a page last night and I ended up kind of retiring after 2 am and re-doing it several times over >__> I'll be tackling it again today hopefully. xD

Well, don't spend too much energy redoing pages. You could end up in a vicious circle of never-ending redos! Sometime it's better to just move on to the next page.

I know what that's like X__x

I actually finished it about an hour ago and I'm absolutely tickled pink with the result. xDD I think it's time I changed my icon to something with my comic instead of an anime character >__> Oh man, I've had this icon for EVER. I don't even like anime anymore (save for gurren lagann...bu that's another story). lol

You're comic's pretty sweetly coming along, or so it seems.

I remember you showed this to me and I found the action in the largest panel confusing. Now I don't (though the size idea is a good one.) It's been a while and I'm not entirely sure what you did different (Is it the black?) But it works! Kudos!

This is inked by hand? My god it's so smooth!

sarahpicklesdill In reply to badpirate [2010-04-23 01:27:10 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I work at about 125% of it's original size, so that helps me get smooth lines. Good crow quills help, too

Why not blame it on the rain or mounties instead?

I know that their story is a horrible and tragic one, but how COULDN'T you like guys in dreadlocks and coordinating outfits?! Imagine the world domination Bob Marley could've achieved just from uniformity

PSYCHICS.

Cool stuff.

The bottom half of the page kinda threw me a bit - I got the general idea, but to be clearer, I'd almost say make the keys larger in the first action chronologically.

As in:

He drops the keys on the dresser. Keys are largest here.
They bounce off. Smaller.
They hit the floor. Smallest.

All on that same curve you have going which springs from the head of Rob, leading to the last panel.

At least that's the way I see it.
