Uh? my lines? I use a speedball calligraphy pen with replaceable #56 nib and speedball super black india ink. I hope that's what you mean by lines haha..

Thanks, glad you think so! I'm still learning how to control the ink flow a bit. But I really like the dynamic control over heavy vs light lines that nibs offer compared to regular pens.

but you did great

ClimbTheCastleWalls In reply to Jenniej92 [2014-07-07 19:09:28 +0000 UTC]

dialogue kicks my butt in every page. Adding text to image is pretty much my least favourite part of making this comic.. I'd rather have someone else write the script and just illustrate the whole thing cause I second guess my writing to much haha. Hopefully this is something I'll just get better with or get less anxious about as I do more pages though.

Why Lao? Fang is more than enough. And also where is Diesel? She was just there... cutely clinging onto Kess's jeans... I feel so cheated...

ClimbTheCastleWalls In reply to Raycchan [2014-07-01 13:05:30 +0000 UTC]

She's still clinging, haha. I meant to draw her little tail on the other side of Kess, but I accidently erased it and forgot it before I started painting. I'm just going to argue that both kess's pidgey and diesel are chillin' in the first panel.  His perfect bode is just obscuring your vision of them
  i'm such a failure they'll be in the next few pages

Raycchan In reply to ClimbTheCastleWalls [2014-07-02 13:55:04 +0000 UTC]

XD that explains her sudden disappearance! Oh well. The only way to redeem yourself is to give Diesel more screentime >: D

She's so tiny haha.. I have to start drawing everyone elses expressions on their shoes to get her more time.

Raycchan In reply to ClimbTheCastleWalls [2014-07-03 04:15:57 +0000 UTC]

Sigh. Never incur the wrath of an eraser. I tore a page while doing the sketches for a draft. It was saddening.

ClimbTheCastleWalls In reply to Raycchan [2014-07-05 02:29:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, pretty much once in every page near the beginning of this comic I wrinkled the crap out of the page by erasing too hard near the corners. So glad I never tore a page though. Too much sad.

I was originally going to introduce this mankey much later after kess's eye had healed and have him actually get hit and bruise it again, but this seemed like more fun.
Negative species stereotypes and running gags are always more fun... right?

ClimbTheCastleWalls In reply to Flytie [2014-07-01 02:30:05 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I'm kind of surprised to hear that. Curious if you prefer these ones over the inked ones like in previous pages?
I wanted to see if I could get away with doing trees without lineart but it was super weird and hard, but so far two people have commented positively on the background which kind of has me stunned.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Flytie In reply to ClimbTheCastleWalls [2014-07-01 05:48:23 +0000 UTC]

Absolutely prefer these ones! To be precise: I like the mix of inked and not-inked backgrounds like you did in this page. It adds some depth to the background. The "back-background" like the trees and sky, etc. don't stick out too much if they're not inked. It's cool to ink background to make it stick out more, like some grass in this page. It fits perfectly!

ClimbTheCastleWalls In reply to Flytie [2014-07-01 13:00:57 +0000 UTC]

Ah, excellent, that's the effect I wanted to get by not inking everything. But I was a bit worried that my backgrounds just looked like colour barf when I didn't use lines haha. Thanks for the feedback,

ClimbTheCastleWalls In reply to PkBlitz [2014-06-30 01:23:48 +0000 UTC]

And how!
I almost wanted to hold onto this page and release it together with 40 because Lao is such a moron haha. But I had to have this set up so Kess could question him about dat nidoran and fang could be fang.

Still logically I don't think fang could take on 3 pokemon, one with a type advantage to fire and the other with a height advantage of flying, not that that would stop him from trying.. or if they even stand a much better chance with a untrained pidgey in their ranks.

I use grumbacher watercolours and speedball super black india ink. And lately started tinkering around a bit with contrast and saturation on the computer.

Maaaybe~ If fang can back off long enough to let her in the ring haha...

Indeed! XD My pleasure! c:
