Yay! It's Sonic and Tails! ^___^ Notice Sonic has a slightly new look... ^_^;;;

Well Tails being 18 now means that Sonic's ages is around 25! ^_^ (basing on official info from Sonic Team's Sonic X ages).

I had to come up with a concept shot of Sonic & Tails doing something that they would usually do together on an everyday basis and so running came into my mind... ^_^ (let's not forget adventuring.. XD XD *shot*)

I loved how it turned out to be when I used the blur effects! O___O It was my first time using blur for a filter effect... I should of tried it before! XD XD XD Looks cool cuz it gives it sense of speed. ^_~ As for the more clearer pic of Sonic & Tails running that was to display a little more detail to that shot. ^_~

The way I'm going to format 'Tails Away' manga
goes like this: ^_~

- Each chapter will have an intro/abstract page like this one to kick start the relevant chapter. ^_~

- Each chapter will end with a fallout page (maybe a short strip of comic relief for that particular chapter or some serious artwork - eg. A new character introduced in that chapter posing). ^_~

- Each chapter will try to run at around 15-16 pages including intro and an ending page. Maximum I'll allow myself is 20 pages as rule of thumb. ^_~

- Intro and fallout pages will mostly be in colour. ^_~


Well that's just about it... ^_^ I'm going to finish page 2 right now. It'll take me at least another hour or two. ^_^ Thanks for reading and thank you once again for your wonderful feedback and enthusiasm! ^________^ *hugs tight* ^__^

I just hope that I won't stuff up the quality of my next works... ;; You guys are adding more pressure to me! XD XD XD I hope it'll be just as promising as I had proposed to you all...

Catch you soon! ^____^

*flies in* Bwahaha LMAO I'm a hero of a different sorts.

Don't worry I don't think its possible for your piccies to be "stuffed up" an anywayz if ya do, all Im gonna do is point out every single flaw so relax ^_^ Everyone makes mistakes mate and were all here to help. What I'm saying is we're your friends so dont feel pressured K.

I've used the blur before and the wind filter to create speed but this often distorts the strength of the picture so this is good. I mainly use filters to make waky bgs and to more define my lines after a crappy scan job. I only do that when I actually colour my pics... I aint done that in awhile tho.

Thanx for the compliment man *hug*
I'll try to come more often to Jafaw... I'll bring tha other glasses till I get ma own.

Well I gotta jet. No rest for the wicked ne *flies off* lol

atomic-hedgehog [2003-10-27 07:56:10 +0000 UTC]

i like it a lot

but i do have one small complaint...

here goes: you probably should have just blurred Sonic and Tails, instead of the whole picture

that's my only complaint. so feel free to ask me for a lil "tutorial" on doing it if you wish.

*closes eye and smiling*

*is being like Knuckles - in Episode 5 of Sonic X - walking off smiling in thoughts and leaving a cool goodbye to his little bro without saying it... *

*waves and turns around walking to his room ready to begin the next page of Tails Away* ^_~

chemb0t [2003-10-27 06:55:35 +0000 UTC]

Looking good!! I like how you arranged everything. The detail and motion pics work very well together!

0_0 first time using a filter?! Your kidding right? Makes Sense I guess. Great artists dont need to use filters to make their work shine. It simply enhances its greatness!!

It's really lookng pro! Both the work and organization are right on par! This is going to turn out great!
Er but please take your time. You can't rush a masterpiece like this ne? ^^;

Oh and thanks for the little comment. I'm just starting to get back to posting since school kicked in. So yeah, expect some new work soon. ^^

See ya bro! :hugs:

It is ok, big bro! ^_^ Well, if you feel like going to check out MSN, I'll be there, m'kay? ^_^ I appreciate your words, Elson, thank you very much! ^_^ And I'll really try to do better posts!! Even one word is enough for you, you MUST teach me how to post a HUGE comment ^__^ Hehehe I know Lunar has something with Tails Away, I was suspecting that ^__^

*hugs big bro tight*
Take care, ne? See you around!

(Wait....1.....2....3....4....YAY! MORE THAN FOUR LINES! *SHOT SHOT * )

LMMAO! *hugs* Awwwww.... ^_____^

Dude! O_O Don't you dare write a minimum of four lines! O_O Write whatever YOU want. Even if it's one word! I still appreciate it very much... *hugs* tight* ^_____^

Awww that's cool! You're dwaing a pic for Pam-san too! ^___^ Yay! You're too cool little bro.

What try as fast as I can? O__O Bro.... I can wait for those whenever and forever.. Promise me you take you time? ^_^ You go and have a good time drawing those cuz remember you're not just doing it for the sake of others but also to give yourself a break from reality and do yourself some good. Enjoy it okay? That's very important when it comes to drawing gift art. *hugs tight* I don't think I can go on MSN now little bro (as I've mentioned previously on Forever True Skies, cuz I had better finish the next page in the next 2 hours or so!

Thank you for posting such a wonderful post once again... I really enjoy reading it... (man you even faved my works again! O_O X_X O_O) ^___^ LOL! " First to post.." Eh..heh..heh.. Take care Marcelo.. Ja~ ! ^_^
