Description To celebrate 25,000 Pageviews, it begins. Here is the new cover for Eski. Page 1 will be coming tomorrow. ;D. Well, it's not certain, but very possible.

I love comparing things to old projects. XD

Notes: I was originally going to have a very abstract cover, however after many MANY attempts, I eventually thought that simplicity would work the best if I used nice colours, so this is what I got.

This series is read from left to right.

(And thanks for the pageviews guys. )

Edit: It looked a little empty, so I added a couple of characters to the blank space. XD If it doesn't look as good any more, just tell me.

looking at that old project you linked, you have good focus in both, but there's more power and dynamism in this cover I think thicker or stronger lines for the central character would help him stand out a bit from the nicely faded characters, but other than that quite nice and the various fonts and their placements are solid too! :3 good job.

As for the right-to-left-to-right debacle, I think back in the day when people outside of East Asia began to take an interest and create their own 'western' manga, people tried to go right to left, but that's kind of fizzled out. Since we're from cultures which read left to right, we can use the style and influence from Japanese/Asian comics and we don't lose anything by appealing to those who will actually be reading our work : D (and as a side note, I gave right-to-left a shot a few years ago, but I wasn't that fond of it, but that's just me).

Thank you! ^^ I thought so too. I just think this cover offers a lot more insight into the story, as it shows more than the previous one. Thanks.

Well my previous series was done right to left, since I read a LOT of manga, so the storyboarding is natural to me in that way. But yes I see what you mean when taking cultures into consideration. :/ I'm straying off to doing it left to right... But still undecided. D;

Also, thanks for faving this.

first rule of writing never use your real name and as your unofficial stalker i have listed a few

harold sanchez
anony mouse
nworb noskcaj

and as for the left to right right to left thing you should change it on every page to make sure people are paying attention.

I'm really not too fussed about stalkers. I like to think of myself as mature enough to handle it.

And Lolll. XDD

xDD Well it's an idea of course. .__.;;

(Hey how's your leg by the way? I heard it got broken.)

...is it bad if I like the "Bronze Buckle" cover moar?
I dunno. I do have an aversion to winter. >.>;

BUUUUUT ANYWAY~ I think you should definitely try the "Draw this Again" meme. Since you like comparing old projects. XD

You sound like me with the "which way should it read?!" question. XDDD I say western style. :3

TidyWire In reply to AtsusaKaneytza [2011-06-20 20:16:37 +0000 UTC]

Aversion to winter? D= Then you're going to HATE this series. XDD
And I know what you mean to be honest, I think the building I did on Bronze Buckle gave it a nice feel.

And yes I noticed it. I'll have to look into it sometime. ^^

XD Ahh yes. And Western eh? I guess that would be a safer option, only I'm so used to reading in eastern style. X< That's what makes it confusing. XD

XDDD

WELL, on the one hand, if you do make it eastern format, and this series makes it bigtime to be shipped worldwide, it'll be easier for the easterners to read. XD

Ah that's a good point. D=... *thinks some more. -3-* Although I can't see it getting shipped worldwide to be completely honest. But who knows. Who knows. XD
