Description Next (it's been 3000 years!): fav.me/dakh6mu

Prev: fav.me/d8o1ppb
First: fav.me/d6cr0sx

There's so many things about this page that feel cluttered. The speech bubbles, the sudden change in Zeph's and Morty's tempers, how quickly it transitioned to the end. I had to cut SO MANY THINGS outta Burned Tower just to allow the story to progress somewhat ("kill your darlings" they say).
Still, stylistically, this might be the best page yet, and there's more to come for sure (just not until aprox. mid-May, I'm busy as hell for the rest of the next couple weeks). In the meantime, I'll be revising the story again and cutting out extraneous scenes so that I don't end up blocked for another 8 months again

Just a thing I did for fun in one of the older pages and decided to keep :v (there's also a legit reason but it'll be a while before I reach that part ;D)

too blind to die. Yes that is true. I mean rocks are blind and they don't die. No further proof needed.

yeeeeee.. ahha
It's annoying tho because like I'm only stuck on this ONE BIT and the rest are just. Everything is planned out. Just like 3 panels have fucked me over augh

Zephyr-azure In reply to Miscomunication [2015-08-11 00:30:26 +0000 UTC]

Awww what, three panels, for real? Is it because like, you don't know how to storyboard that one part or because it doesn't come out right? I totally know the feel for both and it sucks :/

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Miscomunication In reply to Zephyr-azure [2015-08-11 01:19:34 +0000 UTC]

Bit of both. I have everything written out in a word doc like with what the story is like and also battle notes as well, I just write it out like

Tora: Oh shit son
Laos: Don't swear plz
Tora: I'm an adult I'll do what I want

and then the panels come from that. But yeah there is just one section which is just not cooperating with my brain augh

WulfWhistle [2015-08-01 05:32:06 +0000 UTC]

I'm in love with your expressions. I love how Zeph went from actively avoiding the plot to shooshing her Pokémon to listen to someone's long probably not made up legend. Still man, stranger danger. For reals.
Also Croconaw licking Silver's face is adorable.

I can see why you think the page feels cluttered, but I think it works to keep everything more animated.

I wouldn't say cluttered, just very busy. It's better than having a whole lot of empty space.
I also couldn't help giggling like a fool at panel seven.

I want to eat your style for breakfast right now
Your poses and expressions are just spot on. Damn gurl everything just looks so crisp and everything is consistent across the page something I can really appreciate cause coughmyshit
That slurping croconaw my god. I'm curious to see how their encounter will work out x)
Also Morty such drama king. He has beautiful hands, I will give him that.

Zephyr-azure In reply to sevenluck [2015-04-29 18:59:23 +0000 UTC]

Some people keep saying "consistent" but tbh I feel like I was ten different people drawing the entirety of the comic XD Thanks a lot though :''D It's so hard to find that one easy and perfect style to work on for the rest of a project, I totally feel you with this one

Hahaha I guess you could say Croconaw's more of a dog than a croc? XD and god I loved drawing Morty's hands lol

JustSewaddlingAway [2015-04-29 11:52:11 +0000 UTC]

I don't think the page looks cluttered with the speech bubbles at all. It looks very clean, with several smaller bubbles containing the dialogue, instead of just one HUGE bubblicious bubble. I think this is defininetly one of your best pages yet.

Zephyr-azure In reply to JustSewaddlingAway [2015-04-29 19:03:31 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot :'D I love getting this kinda input. And breaking up big speech bubbles is such an awesome strategy - as a reader, I tend to skim the dialogue in huuuge speech bubbles because I get bored too quickly. Breaking it up keeps readers attentive 8D

SteamArtPunk [2015-04-29 09:38:07 +0000 UTC]

I'm just going to cry with laughter right now because everything looks absolutely fantastic.
I just did a quick compare of the sketch and this and honestly the closeups looks absolutely brilliant. 
also the look on morty's face is just priceless
Stylistically wise it looks brilliant and as always everything's just on pointe~
BRILLIANT WORK!

Zephyr-azure In reply to SteamArtPunk [2015-04-29 19:06:22 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah I almost forgot I gave you the sketches! It's crazy how I had to completely change the focus in some panels for the sake of making the page easier to read x) quoting this again but you gotta "kill your darlings" sometimes

Thanks so muchh :'DD

Phandenstein [2015-04-29 06:22:31 +0000 UTC]

"Tired? Nuh." and "I'm too blind to die!" were my favorite things here and deserve a spot on the Wall of Fame. Of course, it might get cramped with all the stuff you already have there, but I bet we can make room :U

btw there's so much artistically great stuff in the descend-into-the-unknown panel. Perspective, shading, semi-blurred Spinarak webs... and of course my inner worldbuilding-freak is squeeling at the "Central Johto Time" detail.

Zephyr-azure In reply to Phandenstein [2015-04-29 21:56:56 +0000 UTC]

"Nuh" is my favorite thing ever at the moment
maybe if I drew a little smaller and actually planned the page before doing the lineart... juuuust maybe the next page won't be as cramped lol

About the time thing, I did it as well for page 15.1 , but thought it'd be nice to mention it again (since it's been forever since that page came out lol). And hey, thanks!
