Description End. :> Overall I'm pretty happy with how this turned out given that it was my first time really illustrating with nib pens--but gosh, the stokes it gave me for the tree were just so awesome, augh~ * v *

And um, well, yeah. I know that it's kind of inconsistent for him to have wings in the end, but... I don't know, I just... wanted him to be able to fold around the other, you know? So, yeah.
This looks 10x better in person, and you can see how much more OCD I was about the ink splatters, ahahaha--they're so fine it's been called textured paper, aha. xD

Anyway, I just... yeah, I really enjoyed getting to work on this comic, haha. Enjoy.

Ahhhhhhh yeah, definitely, if I could take anything back I'd re-do these comics on twice the number of pages, it got waaaay too cluttered~
Thank you!

Ahhhhhhh, thank you so much! I feel like they're easy, because text bubbles and coming up with dialogue just seems much too troublesome for me~ xD;

Ghhhhhhhhh, oooooooh my gosh why are you so sweet?!? ;v;
Th-Thank you so much for your super-kind comment! I used to ink EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME, but then I lost confidence in my lines for a while... I'm glad that I can still kinda do it, though!
And really, this is just because of the sequential art class I took, comic work might slow for a while unless inspiration strikes me, hahah! But, thank you so much for your comments, seriously, you're too nice!

Your lines... THEY ARE SO WONDERFUL.

I can't stop going back to look at all the fine lines -- they're so controlled and so neat and so regular!! And the ink splatters, and the pattern of the tree -- graaaaaugh, beautiful. <3333

And you say it was your first time using nib-pens? It looks like you've been using them for a long time! I love the strokes, really really clean.
The drawing itself: perspective, trees, feathers and clouds are brilliant. Amazing work, hun!

ajkshfkajfhf jesus just, UGH THE LINES, AND THE ANGLES, AND THE CORRYN, AND THE BIRDS, AND THE TREE, AND THE BONES ;w; it is all so beautiful and sad and gorgeous and fjsdnf /falls all over your art

Depression for liiiiiiiiiiiiife
I may or may not still be trying to figure out whether or not Corryn has to die and if so how
.....maybe not, maybe he's just too cool for that hahah;;
(I may or may not have also recently plotted out Ayra and Phelan's death and felt depressed over it LOL)

I should've known it was going to end on a depressing note. You'd think I would've learnt by now. But that aside, this page really explodes with amazing inking. All the different textures and shadows make a really rich and engaging page. I'd imagine that when you turn this stuff in the teacher goes "Why are you in this class? It's clear you know how to do it."

Ahhh, I've been told to move beyond my parallel-line-shading, though... it can definitely clutter up my pages, so I'll be trying something new next... but thanks, G! I really do love line-shading, it's so soothing to do... 9v9;;

The-G In reply to Laitma [2011-11-16 10:31:47 +0000 UTC]

I think the only problem with parallel-line shading is that it can obscur details sometimes. If it's a line heavy drawing then that kind of shading can make details unclear.

Jace-Z [2011-11-12 01:13:11 +0000 UTC]

The single hatching on this page really worked out well! I wasn't sure about what happened in the end though, did he turn into a bird? :0
Anyway, this story is paced extremely well, and it tells a lot while still remaining ambiguous despite being only three pages long. Great job on this, and I'm definitely loving this shading technique with the pens.

Ahahaha, more like, ahm, he was a bird all along? <:3 (Hence, the scars on his back)
And ahhhhhhhh th-th-thank you so much! I'm afraid I enjoy ambiguous comics the most, hahah~ Thank youuuu ohman your comments

this is really goodddd aaaa YOUR ANGLES ARE MAKING ME NUTS GIRL
the ending actually works really well too! usually when i end stuff it's like BIG GIANT SPLASH PAGE LOOK AT IT but yours is really clean and small and that actually works really well i think ;3;a
if any of that makes sense haha

also nice with the pen and ink! i could never get the hang of those haha

I gotta admit I'm kinda proud of those angles--the top-down one with the tree in the bottom-left was hard as hell to get right D:

And yeah I like tried pen and ink before and always wanted to break the pen out of frustration--but apparently my ink just dries out really fast?? So I just keep dropping in water every hour/so as I work on it and it helps a lot?? xD;

Absolutely...amazing. These three pages. Beautiful framework, beautiful pacing, such wonderful expression and feeling, and just...the quality of the lines makes me so goddamn happy. The subtle use of tone adds to the feeling of the stark landscape.

It's just....magnificent.

That splatter process must've been fun. ^^ Did you use frisket or tape (or just lay paper over the comic) while you attacked it? Great job on the nib...! I haven't had much fun with nibs; the line varies on its own it seems ...and then it up and clogs. >.>

Love the clouds, the wood grain, the sand, Still not sure about the horizon - the single hatching is trippy (almost hypnotic @.@) but I'm convinced that was the ideaaa. ^~

Ahahahaha, yeah, I just threw on paper and tried to hold it in place... took me a coupla tries to get it right, so you can see where I went from not doing it (page one) to doing it poorly (page two) to OBSESSIVELY SPLATTERING CAREFULLY! (page three) xDDD

Ahhhhh but seriously thank you so much man, your comments are the greatest~ ;v;
