Description IT'S FINALLY HERE.

In Progress!

Augh, this obviously took TOO LONG, what with actually drawing real people, houses, streets, and oh my gulai BICYCLES, while the first two Earnestlys were mostly line and wash, really. My brush was splitting during the time I did the first two pages of this, explaining the crooked-y lines...I'll probably go back and re-do them sometime. There's a lot of things here that I feel need improvement, but hey, I think I did decently enough. What do you think? As with the other two, I love feedback, crits–especially if they're specific. These are the longest fully-done comic pages with an inkling of story that I've done since the Lint Crew (if that counts), and I would really appreciate it.

The next part will probably not be for some time either, since around while I was working on Part 2, I realized that making up the story as I go along was not probably the best way to go about doing it, and that more time should be spent on the actual thumbnails, storyboards, character and setting designs, and all that complicated stuff that makes comics so wonderful

Ahhh, so many words! But above all, ENJOY.

Wowsers. People. I didn't see that coming...?

I think it's really good so far. I especially like the panel to panel changes that you made when the girl woke up. And the lack of text really made the pictures speak more.

Thanks! The setting is very drastically changed in this part, so I wanted to still keep some of the silent panel aspects so it wouldn't seem totally different from Parts 1 and 2. The part when Nathan walks his bike out the door was supposed to be reminiscent of Earnest dragging his leaf, but it was a bit harder to do with people.

Amazing! I like how the world they live in seems a bit dull and when the girl(?) looks out the window she sees this bright, beautiful, unusual rainbow.
I really like your characters, simple yet full of life Also, my other favorite part is all the little details you used to give a bit of history on the characters and where they live.
I just love your style!

Thank you! (and yes, it is a girl. Her hair just looks like mine when I first get up in the morning.) The brown color scheme is because I had the vague idea of the place being set in, well, the overall black-and-white photo era, since I loved the idea of having a story set in a whimsical version of the past, but something a little later than steampunk-looking. The inspiration for the look of this piece was pretty much what I saw out of my own bedroom window, and old pictures of San Francisco.

I cannot critique. You are too awesome to point out any mistakes. Seriously. I'm in awe of what you do! You are the best young artist I know. I'm gonna go now before I kneel to the ground in front of you. Keep it up, you have talent!!!

Awww thanks. I really appreciate the support, but no kneeling, please! The talent doesn't come from me; I'm just trying to do well with what I've been given
