Phew... this took me ages! Basically the three of them are doing a little chacha dancing on some clouds at night, under the moonlight. If you look VERY closely there's small hints of Sasunaru, but the most obvious 'pairing' in this picture is Narusaku (Naruto reaching out to Sakura) and Sasusaku (but only in Sakura's case, because she's happily holding onto Sasuke whereas the latter seems very annoyed at her behavior).

The lineart was traced from the real sketch, and I'm still not very good with the tablet so I had to redraw most lines more than once (as you can see, lol). But it does make for an interesting effect... The coloring itself was easier than I'd expected once I had the lineart done, and the background is just a quick one (those stars took me AGES though). I'm aware that the moon isn't a perfect circle, and that the lighting effects aren't perfect - but if you pretend there's another light source other than the moon it'll make more sense. Next time I do a night scene I'll remember to shade appropriately... >.>

Enjoy! This actually makes for a good wallpaper... O.o It's the one I'm using right now (shameless self-promotion).

lol Narusaku? I don't see any of that (although I love that pairing) All I'm seeing is Naruto reaching our towards sasuke (oh noes--- me ish blinded by the love of sasunaru)

to me it looks more like:

Naruto: Nooo.

Sasuke: Let's hurry up and get of here *hint hint* and get away from Sakura

Sakura: *giggles* sasuke wait for me.

LOL

Yeah, I'm actually drawing out a manga for HGDM. O.o But the plot isn't like the story at all... Maybe it can be a spin-off from it or something. Or just a random event. Hmmmmm...

Awwww... I'd love to see a manga version of your story! For me it's not people that's hard, it's the backgrounds. X.x They take forever...

lol hahah
i just close my eyes, take a brush, and put it on shape def + scatter + color def.
whee! instant background!
rectangular marquee + fill + random color works quite well ^^

lol xD
well actually i've done a manga version of "the last battle" except voldemort looks nothing like voldemort, and i'm basically making fun of everybody. ^^ i'd love if you commented on it when i submit it! [its like 8 pages and i'm still not donee . T.T ] XD

SilentSeraphim In reply to herxstolenxheart [2006-01-09 06:25:20 +0000 UTC]

Alright, sure! Yeah, I imagine Voldy would be rather hard to draw... but I think I'd take Orochimaru as a base (they're both snake people).

I've barely finished sketching the 8th page of my manga... T.T I don't think I'll be inking it, it'll take too long.

lol my friend keeps telling me to tone it O_O lolll comic works is soo expensive tho. T.T haha
i'm just prolly gonna post everything in pencil. ^^ because as long as they can read it, its fine. lollll
haha

hurry and post! i'll be waiting >3 *sounds so stalkerish. O__O *

Lol! I'll probably post it once it's gained momentum and isn't likely to run out of ideas. I used to ink all my manga but I toned it using the computer. After all, there's no point buying real comic works stuff if I'm still a noobie manga-ka. XD

Haha. XDDD

I tone with Paint Shop Pro 7. You just make your own tone patterns and then apply it with a brush to your scanned manga, and there you go!

herxstolenxheart In reply to SilentSeraphim [2006-01-13 23:20:00 +0000 UTC]

lol
how do you makee your own tones? like you know naruto they sometimes have the weird hexagons in the back and all kind of speedlines/shading/patters/ stuff everywhere...like when the page is suddenly filled with hearts and flowers.. lolll

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SilentSeraphim In reply to herxstolenxheart [2006-01-16 21:14:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, something like that! Though I think most manga artists use real tones. T.T

Anyway, you just draw a picture of the tone you want (dots if you want that, lines if you want speed lines) on a separate new file, and then go back to your scanned page. In Paint Shop Pro you can use another opened file to use as a pattern, so if you have your dot 'tone' file open you can use that as a brush, which you then apply to your drawing.

Pretty complicated, I know. U.U For birds and flowers it's the same thing, you draw a picture of a bird or a flower on another new file and then use that as a pattern on your drawing.
