Description It's no secret that all the story of Alya the Unlucky was planned to be a comic of many chapters. However, until now I was able to finish only some pin-up style pictures and some separate panels.

This chapter, "Alya versus Quicksand - the first time" was going to be the first one (with some preceding pictures or "zero chapter" - whatever I will be able to do eventually). As you can guess from the title (and maybe from the style), one of the following pages (the third one as it is planned now) will contain the panel which was submitted to deviantART (go check it!) on the 18th of April 2009, while the original b/w picture was submitted on the 28th of January 2009. According to what was said in the description of that picture, that was the start of my work on the comic about Alya. More than five years ago!
Linearts for the first   and the second panels for this page were submitted here on the 15th of May and the 1st of June 2009, correspondingly, and since then they resided in my gallery dedicated to Alya (now I remove them from there). The lineart for the third panel has been done shortly after those two but had not been posted here or elsewhere. Honestly, I wasn't completely satisfied by those linearts, but only recently I identified the reason and changed bikini bottoms for all three girls. It worked! 

The first panel for this page was practically finished (trees, sand, water, colored girls, but no text bubbles) long ago, too. I have one copy with zoomed in girls dated 2011, though I am pretty sure I had retouched it several times before that. However, only after I changed the bikini bottoms and recolored the girls I felt the power to finish the whole page. The second panel was colored a month ago, the third one - the last week. Text bubbles were added the last Thursday and retouched today. I think it's time to show the page to the world...

Though, as you can guess, I have no idea when the second page might appear. I have only doodles for it. 

EDIT: And now it is uploaded, too!

I also have rendered each panel separately with higher resolution and without the text bubbles, and I have rendered pictures of colored girls without backgrounds. I was thinking about adding them as a "Premium Content", but my previous experience shows that nobody is interested in pictures of higher resolution no matter how low the price is. I would like to hear an advice from you. Well, I know what might cause a certain interest - to take off bikinis from the girls. I can do it, but I don't want to do it in this case (there should be a dialogue on the next page if it would be possible to stay topless on this beach - and Valya would not recommend to do it). Also, unlike many other works, here the girls were drawn and colored in bikinis from the very beginning.

Ah! Here is the only picture that is already available. The action should start at the page 3 (the page 2 is already uploaded), and then it should continue till the happy ending

Wow this art is SO detailed! Though, I think ALL your artwork has more texture, and shows more of muscle/bone structure detail, than my own artwork!

The girls are very impressively detailed, and just look fantastic. The posing and anatomy is SO well done, there is lots of perfect "body language" being communicated. Shadows and reflections also look extremely natural. You really went above and beyond the call for this!

Thank you very much!

This page came out pretty good, but it really took ages to eliminate those faults that prevented me from accomplishing it. I was looking at the linearts and thought, "There is something that I seriously dislike, but I can't figure out what exactly".

On the first panel I used a coloring technique that I stopped using several years ago - I did separate layers for coloring and for shading (shading layer lies under the layer of flat colors, the latter is in "multiply" mode). Now I prefer to do shading directly on the color layer(s). On the second panel I repeated the old technique (and reused the background) to make them look more similar. On the third panel I did the coloring in my modern technique. 

I also virtually stopped using "pen tool" for linearts. I am not sure how I will make the next page looking similar to this one... Maybe, it will be different...

In my place (Kiev, Ukraine) it strongly depends on particular year - the water is surely cold in May, but official beaches open since May 15 or so, and in some years the water is already acceptable to take a dip, but sometimes we wait till the end of June

Wow!  You've been productive!  That's a well rendered beach, with the sand and carpet of grass at the edge and beyond the sand.  The trees are the real winner though.  That leaf effect is particularly nice!

Thank you! I am on vacation now, and that's why I am so productive. I hardly could be so productive in just a few weeks
