Description
Apparently I'm on a roll. I just keep cranking these out. I can't even predict my own working habits. Finally enter Brad and Nai. Man, I've been waiting for this for so long. <3Your guys feedback is great. I really appreciate them all even if I haven't had the time yet to reply back to them. Thanks again.
Enjoy.
EDIT: I just realized that recapping may be a good idea. Especially since I cranked out these pages so horribly slowly for a while. So here goes:
Wade and Sheard go to a club where Wade gets lost in the crowd and Sheard meets up with Oz. Oz informs him that he has a job for him about stealing a sword. They leave and find Joe getting picked on by a girl and save his ass, then leave. Oz shows his true colour by a snide remark about having them killed. Then the three thieves sit in the living room of their apartment, playing darts and discussing the job. Wade tries to inform them about the people, but Sheard gets cocky and now we're caught up. Does that help? n_n;;

By the light, woman ... this is awesome! GREAT!
They're so effing casual that it's like a photo album, rather than a comic book just ... drawn on paper. I love it endlessly.
The crossword puzzle .. the cooking ... the "wearing glasses doesn't make me smart" thing. That's how I feel.
The best one yet!

Awesome job. I'm so excited Nai was finally introduced.
I remember back so long ago looking at your normal gallery pictures being like "man. that darn sexy ninja with the pointy hair is fiiiii-iine" ahaha X3 No really. Both Brad and him seem like they'll add a great dimension to your already amazing comic.
I can't wait for more.

HELL YEAH. BRAD AND NAI!! *excitement*
Eeeeh. Everything in this one makes me go ooh. Sheard's pants in the last panel of page 15 are awesome...I don't know why. And his facial expression in the panel before that is great. ^^
...but Nai in the last panel has made my day in all of his bendy gloriousness. <3

Okay, now let me just say before i comment that i'm not exactly in the most concentrative mood, but i have to say, (and i'm commenting for pages 13-16) that you've really done it, you've totally managed to capture a very thick and decorative atmosphere fit for your story. The stylized anatomy is excellent, although i've noticed wade's legs on the last panel on page 13, and it took me time to realise where the legs came from. Not that that would be a mistake, it just looked a bit surreal at first. apart from that, your shading and tones are awesome, arrange the atmosphere, and the whole mentality of your characters is exact and precise. Now I must say that if anyone who still learns wants to see an A class comic as an example or a quality target, they should definetly see yours. It's dynamic, sympathetic and very vibrant. Excellent work done, seriously. It makes me want to make a 3D model of wade :j Aaaaaand hell with it, I think I will...if I get your permission though, I wouldn't want to start on something being a fan project and then not get the permission to use it (as i would have intention of manifesting the product as my own with, of course, giving you credit for the character being your character) and then i would have to destroy it within 48 hours or whichever way it works. (not that I would, i'm not a very legal person, ya know i mean *poke poke*) Oh, and i especially love the speech bubble on page 16, last panel, "wearing glasses does not make me smart" that's just ace.
You've done it again Vert, go, go go.

I love how Sheard looks in those last two panels of 15. So skinny and cute!
Your so talented, I wish I had your inking skills. Do you use a regular pen or a nib and ink?
And sorta random, but I love those speech bubbles. As...odd as that sounds, they looks really stylish.

Yay! More comic pages!
They look so proffesional...the layouts are done really well and all the speech bubbles look good, except the one that says "your ego will be the death-" I can be off sometimes but it confused me at first and I thought Sheard was saying it...maybe make the arrow more above the other bubble (easier to see)? Maybe I just read too many comic books?
Fantastic job as usual, I love love love it when you update

dana-redde [2004-03-11 02:42:30 +0000 UTC]
I detect a slight alteration in how Sheard's hair is being drawn I liiiiiiiiiike! God, he's cute. I find that picutre of him walking from the back in the last panel of the first page rather sexy. Lmfao, his eyes look funny in the first panel--he looks like he's trying to look down Joe's shirt or at his crotch or something >D SHEARD! *le shock*
That one little panel of Nai lying on the floor like that has endeared me to him forever
I love how you make use of different types of boxes, such as the four narrow panels on the second page.
I always smile when I see that KTC has updated They're always the first things I read when I check my inbox!

Brad and Nai look SO HOT. Wooowww.
Can't even begin to describe all the hotness happening in these two pages right now.
Sheard is way too cocky; sometimes I reckon he just needs to be put in a box and locked away for everyone's safety. Buuutt I'd like to see how the story turns out; your comics make my day! Keep up the kickass work!

childofministry [2004-03-11 02:01:37 +0000 UTC]
I really love the layouts of your work. If there's one thing I hate, it's boring boxy comics. I like ones that sorta go all over the place and break outside the squares and such, and yours does it wonderfully, especially with your kickass angles in each panel.

Even if styles are similar or look influenced, most artists don't like hearing that their style is someone else's. Just thought you'd like to know.

I didn't mean like a clone, it was an observation in which any Jim Mahfood fan could make and connect. Personally I thought it was a complement because Jim Mahfood and all his comics kick so much ass.

vert-is-ninja In reply to mirari [2004-03-11 00:23:26 +0000 UTC]
Yes there is! The basic star level is just a star, and the next one up is a star with a circle. That means you've been convicted of a major crime or several little ones. Only for beings though. n___n Thank you so much! And I'm glad you love Nai!! X3

Somehow, your technique of putting that "wave" in a box next to Shread's hand cracks me up. I know it's a minor thing, but it's something I've never seen done before, and here, it works!
