    Demowalker: Offical Comic Thread

    So, I've finally gotten some part of it done, the cover. I haven't decided if it's all going to be in color, but this image itself took me about three hours a day for a week. The second page should be up within the next couple of days.

    This is the only place these are currently being posted, other then between my friends, so please don't pass them around the internet. Consider this a beta-read before it gets published. Thanks you guys.



    I am not so proud of this one. It took me forever to draw and still didn't come out right, and I didn't even come close to how I wanted it to look in my mind. I may redraw it when I get more advanced, but i basically just wanted to finish it.

    Some reason I felt like I had to have a chapter page. This was a last minute decision, mostly to serve as an easier way to outline it. Each Chapter has diffrent phases that are about 10 pages. don't ask me why I did this, I just did.

    Biggest problem I will ever have with this page is that I love it and hate it. It's almost over a year old, and I was proud of it when I drew it, but in retrospect, the proportioning is off, and the pose looks a bit harsh. (one leg is behind the other.) I did a color version of this once (my first ever art post here) but it just never felt right. When I redrew it, I wanted to get more of a dream feel for it. I am extremely proud of the skin...which is really the only part I am proud of.



    FINALLY THIS BLOODY PAGE IS DONE!!!!!! Mum helped me work out some of the wording, but I decided to just bite the bullet and go with a more wordy description. Hopefully the tone is taken as a very empty narration, almost as if the person has grown tired of describing it.


    And the new page is up. This is one I am fond of but not proud of. I agonized over this page because i felt it was very poorly done, but I think I can pretend it's good just for the sake of getting the damn thing up so I can move on. Origionally I didn't even want to do the white outlines on the wings, but I bit the bullet because it was much better looking in the long run. So, enjoy.

          It's wierd how her left arm and leg are both bending behind her like that. She looks like an amputee. I like how colourful it is tho.

            I agree with you on how her arm and her leg works. I did, however, spent way too much time on it, and finally gave up. She just didn't want to be drawn the way she should have been. Thanks very much though. I tend to like alot of bright colors and wish I could do stuff a bit more subdued.

            Thanks tho.

            BTW, I updated the first post with the chapter page. (and the title has been found. I'm messing with this thread too much. :P)

            Edit - I also was wondering if people want to have me make a commentary under each page, or if they just wanted me to post the pictures and keep my mouth shut...?

                This took you three hours a day for a week?

                Am I missing something?

                  The first one dear. I also didn't add how many failed attempts were scrapped for it, and I was also adding the drawing time for the girl as well. The second one took me all of an hour at most.

                      Nice splash pages but will all this production get in the way of the story?

                        Absolutely beautiful! You're quite the talented artist.

                        I was wondering--are you using Photoshop for the coloring? Because a friend of mine uses it for a FFXI Forum to make signatures, and your style is similar to what he uses.
                        Despite what you think, I am very, very real.

                          I'm hoping not. the paneled pages start next, I'm just setting this up as it would be in a book, with the cover page, the chapter page, and then the pages inbetween. Plus I'm a sucker for splash pages, even though I shouldn't be.

                          I've also decided that the majority of the comic is going to be in black and white, with the first five pages or so of each chapter in color. This is something I learned from alot of manga, and I like the idea, so I'm going to try it out.

                          Thanks.. *sheepish smile*

                          Actually I do use Photoshop, I've been utilizing alot of techniques I found by various other artists on the internet. I've tried using other types of programs, but this is the only one I feel comfortable with, and it serves my purposes for coloring the comic.

                              The wording is fine! I like the little haze effect of the letters there--makes it all look so mysterious.

                              I wasn't sure if you were going to use word balloons at some point, but seeing how it's coming along so far, I think it's great just the way it is. In my opinion, I wouldn't change a thing. But this is your comic, after all--so, do what you think is best.
                              Despite what you think, I am very, very real.
