Description
Jeebus this took longer than it should have. Unfortunately we had the task of nailing down the other spirit’s colors at the same time. BEHOLD, THE CREATIVE PROCESS.29 pages folks — chapter one is over and now the fun can really begin. This is something of a landmark for us, our first chapter of our first original comic done! In the print version, this will be a two page ‘spread’. (If you can call lockers with gray splashed on them a spread?)
Yep, I said print version. Now that we’re done with chapter 1, we’ll be putting together the first print run of Shounen Fight. It’ll include a full color version of chapter 1, guest art, concept sketches and some other extra ‘omake’. We’ll get more details on this as we progress — and we will be taking preorders with special extras.
Over the next week we’ll be having some guest artists contributing to MSF while we scramble madly to get chapter 2 started and prepare for the winter cons. We’ve been confirmed for Saboten Con in Phoenix, SugoiCon in the Cincinnati area and we’ll also be at New York Anime Fest next month.
We can’t thank you folks enough for giving our first comic a chance and making it a great and encouraging experience. All of your kind comments have fueled us on late nights of drawing on the road and in airports and in artist alleys, trying to get this silliness done on something resembling a schedule.
Maybe you think this comic is pretty dumb. Kids, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
On to chapter 2!

I tend to prefer reading people's comics on their own sites too, but some people like using DA exclusively, so we put it here for them. XD

Okay, I just had to comment. I have been reading this and absolutely LOVING it, but this page, literally made me stop and laugh for a whole minute. To go on about having to find the others with such fervor and to have them just revealed like that....I love you guys.
This is original, funny, INCREDIBLY well drawn, and done in a style that I haven't seen before. I have to ask (if its okay) what brushes are you using to shade? I LOVE the dotted scribbly style, it was one of the first things I noticed, and I was jut curious if you used any special brushes for it.
Anyway, keep it up, I'm loving it *holds up McDonald's*

Aw man, thank you so much for your kind words! Those are all the things that we're trying hard to do so that all means a lot to us. n_n
The coloring is actually just one of the basic Photoshop brushes. I play a lot with the settings on the brush, opacity and rotation and whatnot. But more or less it's just one simple brush. ~Dusty

Awww glad you like them! I'm pretty happy/proud of their designs (even though it took Kim and I forever to figure out their colors!). But yes, Yuki's partner is probably my favorite, so I'm really glad you like that one. <3

Well you have the 4 elements pretty good. Every team is elemental at it's core.

Well, they're not strictly elemental, actually! (that is, they aren't earth, air, fire, water, if that's what you mean) As we write/draw more, and if you keep following us, you'll see just what it is they can do!

TW2Creations In reply to ScuttlebuttInk [2010-09-13 15:11:43 +0000 UTC]
What I meant by every team is elemental, is that they aren't strickly the element but you can see it if you know how to look.
EX Fantastic Four
Earth and Fire are easiest, Thing and Torch
Water is Reed, his stretching and the way he is shown flowing through the page.
Air is Sue, she goes clear and her force field could be seen as really hard wind.
X-Men had the 5th element... boron J/K
Beast= Earth, strength and solidity
Iceman= Water = Ice
Cyclops= Fire even though the original eye blasts had no heat
Angel= Air, flight with wings
Jean= Spirit, telepathy and telekinesis.

Ah! I see what you're saying! That's very interesting. I guess you can find elemental qualities to almost any supernatural abilities if you're looking for them! Very cool.
