Description Larry... he looks like Kyo from Fruits Basket... I didn't realize it until I started coloring him. Goodness, that's funny. I promise it's just the expression on his face. He isn't going to always look like that... And no, I'm not too thrilled with how I colored the right side of the page, and I might fix it in the future... but for now I rebel. I DO like how the cross came out though. ^_____^

I'm starting a webcomic, people. Yes, a webcomic. About time huh? Should I draw it backwards like a manga? I'm thinking about buying my own domain name and putting all our (being ~GodsLilTurnish and I) stuff on it, in addition to DA. So every friday, I'll have up another two pages. I'll submit them *bleedman style. I might switch my schedule to be every monday... just because I might want the whole weekend to work on it and submit it sunday night. I dunno. It depends on how my schedule works out. And I'll probably have 'dead QT weeks' like Piro on megatokyo. Considering I'm a full time student and work two jobs.

This particular comic is about focusing in on God, and all of the different things that can distract away from it. And I'm not saying romance is all bad... you'll just have to read to understand what I mean. There's too much I have to say on the matter to explain here in the artist's comments. ^-^ In the comic, we're going to have a focus on the book of Ecclesiates, talking about how so many things are as pointless as chasing after the wind.

Tools of the trade: I used prisma marker for the sky, ink pens for Larry and Petunia and the mountains (and the rest of the outlines, for that matter), prismacolor pencil for the color... and for the stars? You're going to laugh at me, but I watered down some tempura, got one of my old yucky toothbrushes, and used my thumb to flick on the stars. xD That's my biiiiig secret... actually, I read it in a 'How to Draw Manga' book. I will never be scared of drawing another nightscape again. ^_^

Hey I think you should do some newsletter art for FOCUS in CollegeAge. Thats what were missing some seriousness to our publication. We could submit writing and photos and other things; and then our group might get some more publicity from big house especially if we make it look professional.

I think we could have real fun with it. What do you think?

Whoa, dudeman. This is a genius idea. There definitely needs to be more Christian stuff like this... that would make my life. We Christians of the Internet need to get out there and do that, yo! ^^
Anyway. Gorgeous layout. Love the perspectivey-cross in the background... great compostional... element... there. Yeah.
And thanks for your comment on my page

I can't believe I didn't reply to you! *is a jerk*

Your welcome, and yes, that is my whole idea. However, this comic has been on hiatus because of the whole 'lack of free time' thing. I'm getting ready to have more time because of summer, so hopefully I'll get more comics done for this little 'pilot' episode of The Walk.

I love the colouring! This looks so interesting... can't wait!!! I like how Larry is trying to focus with his conscience fighting with one another and I like the background... which should he choose?

I wouldn't draw it like a manga, just because it doesn't really strike me as being manga-ish.

this looks fantastic! are you gonna keep Larry's name as Larry? With that and his toof, for future law cases, it's kinda obvious.

neat-o, mate

qt4u2nv In reply to Pyro-gold [2005-08-27 04:28:09 +0000 UTC]

They own Larry the cucumber, I own Larry Montana Cuke.

And there are other Larry cartoon characters with buck-teeth, so I'd win the case. I win. xD

qt4u2nv In reply to Pyro-gold [2005-08-27 17:17:41 +0000 UTC]

xD Bweeheehee.

All I'd have to do is bring up Larry from Teen Titans, who does as well have buckteeth. And when there's big close up shots of Larry, I'd separate the one big tooth.

Don't worry; ah's THOUGHTS about it. xD And it is indeed different enough to be used. To win a copyright case such as this all you need is a twenty percent difference!! ;D

;_; NUUUU DON'T BE SAD! *smacks*

60% of the work is finding the right materials, I swear! And my art teacher in high school was a nazi about perfection, and taught us how to use prismacolor pencils with this long boring packet, and don't be sad! You are a fine artist, and you'll only get better as time goes on! DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED! God doesn't like it when we are. xD

...should I draw it backwards like a manga? O.o
