Description Page 1 of the comic ~ToxicToothpick and I are working on together. I'm going to upload the pages to DA for now, at least until I figure out what else I'd do with them.

I plan to try toning or coloring this (or possibly both) but I can't decide on a style yet so you're going to get the bare bones, freshly brush-inked look. Basically this is a page purely un-fiddled-around-with, save for a few minor corrections.

I am trying a lot of new things with this so critiques are welcome! Expect updates on Mondays and Thursdays. I'll try to be as regular as school permits.

LEMME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Johnson! It really means a lot that you think so highly of the comic so far, especially because I personally enjoy YOUR comics. I promise I'll keep you interested all the way to the end! >: D

This intro is beautifudge.

I swear it's
amazing.
TOO PAWSUM FOR WORDS.

it definitely has a feel to it.
IT MAKES ME FEEL A FEELING I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE.

We need that guy who was in Ghost Rider to narrate this.

life-take [2009-09-17 23:47:29 +0000 UTC]

looks good! I would recommend coloring it, because the shading on the hills in the fore and middle ground make them look like they're covered in grass.

Very nice inks. I might have gone with more delicate lines on the clouds, but that's nitpicking. Looking forward to seeing your cactus folks again!

Kemmeru [2009-09-15 21:55:02 +0000 UTC]

I say don't color it, it might make it look too busy with all of the complicated hatching. Maybe adding flat shadows in shades of gray would look good, but any more and overkill is imminent.

MyNameIsMad In reply to Kemmeru [2009-09-15 22:38:37 +0000 UTC]

I was just going to do flat coloring anyways, i agree that anything complicated would make this HELLA BUSY! :U

AWW YISS SUM MUTHAFUKIN COMPROMISE

I am soooo excited, you have no idea~
Also, did you base that landform on an existing one, cuz it looks slightly familiar. Says the girl who sets southwestern vistas as her laptop background.....

But YEAH, I am so excited for this Mad. It looks awesome already and I can't wait for more!!

Fluna [2009-09-15 09:51:38 +0000 UTC]

I like it in black and white, but seeing a little colour (maybe just base colour as it's already shaded) would be interesting.
I like how it's going, a good way to begin, and mow, if you allow me, I'm going to stare at the rock a little more.
