Description
Edit: [click here for next page]Instead of using the pan to block the blow, she decided Ayumi's meal was the first priority... What determination does it take to endure any kind of suffering for the sake of another? One you do not know. One who doesn't love you. One who loathes, detests and abhors you.
This assassin has a mysterious past, it's unclear why she decided to devote the rest of her life repenting for her sins, let alone what drove her to take Ayumi's family away. One can only guess...
The life of a shinobi must be hard, blocking your emotions to take the lives of others... I guess she must've died a little when she saw what she had done to this sweet little girl.

Stuff I've said in the previous pages:
This is actually a back story for one of my characters so it might be a little confusing. Basically, the story focuses around Ayumi who has purple hair. She was originally a side character but I've decided to centre the story around hers to make the manga a lot shorter. Her story started off as just 4 pages but I've decided to elaborate on it a bit to share it with everyone who's reading it now.
Technique:
Actual comic done on paper with screentones digitally inserted. The "dots" were the only screentones I used. blood effects, zoom lines and whatnot were done manually, freehand or with a ruler.

^^ I think it's neat where you made it realistic...like tha fact that you can see her underware...(O_o) It's true though...lots of woman wear clothes like that after waking up...and hey it happens...some times your underware show like that...O_o
And the blood it very artistic...^^
Good job...looks like you've been through manga school...

LOL! Yeah, I was even thinking of putting in a joke later where she says to Ayumi that her sword skills are pretty impressive. xD

Amazing! Love the bloody panel and the last one! Poor shinobi... I kind of feel sorry for her... like you said, a shinobi's life must be hard... wonder if Ayumi'll ever forgive her or if she ends up killing her

Good holy mother of chocolate. (I continued from page 3, and moved on to here) I get totally freaked out when people cut their hands. Like if I watch a horror movie and a guy gets his head chopped off, I'm good. But if someone gets hacked at their wrists, or a finger sliced off, or a hole in their palm (er, I'm not freaking YOU out now, am I? XD), I squrim.
YOU JUST MADE ME SQUIRM! How dare you! That means this page must be effective.
LOL. You rock with angles.

TheEclipse In reply to VoicesCollaboration [2006-06-16 11:08:39 +0000 UTC]
About 3 to 6 hours per page... but I spend alot of time making changes and thinking about layout, timing, dialogue etc. I think I revised the dialogue for this page like 50 times or something.

Wow! Thats all? It usualy takes me 7-8, and thats AFTER I've got it all figured out. But I do colours and excessive detail (sometimes to the point where I just give up). Again your stuff is realy good!

I used Photoshop to do all the toning, but the balloons were hand-drawn. I just used photoshop to clean them up since my circles are normally really messy. xD
Oh, and the text was a downloaded font (anime-ace)

study some kenshin manga...and chek out some goth manga too, they have some great blood shots...make it more elegant, less cartoony.
