Description | | *Despereaux-7 's comic | | First | | Previous | | Next | |

This page fought me all the way. I wasn't used to all the drying time since the other pages didn't have this much paint. Plus, the first three panels were really bright by comparison to the last three. I finally just went ahead and make it dark.

For the record, Dusty can't swim. It's not that he has an issue with water or isn't capable. He's just never learned.

When I was little, I saw my brother flailing around in the pool and I swam over to help him. Long story short, don't save kids who are freaking out in the water. They are inexplicably strong.

Ó guð! Ég hef drepið annan… fólk heldur áfram að deyja í kringum mig… hvað hef ég gert…
Oh god! I have killed another one... people just keep dying around me... what have I done...

Bíddu hér, ekki fara neitt! Ég ætla ekki að láta neinn annan deyja mín vegna!
Wait here, don't go anywhere! I'm not letting anyone else die because of me!

Better hope anyone who'd try to save you doesn't read this. They might just let you drown.

Had a bad experience too?

Fresh? I cannot associate Dusty with the word fresh. Fresh is what you call good lettuce or dance moves.

little cousin that seems to take my 'kick-it-where-it-hurts' tendencies :I

least he's a little bit, no-matter-how-tiny, teensy bit cleaner than 2 minutes ago.

Oh i really really love this page! :3
drama drama drama! : D
your whole comic so far has been so awesome!
Youre getting Niobe dead on, and I just love the story you have created here.
It must take forever to make these pages, and to make them look so good too.
Dusty looks like a little hamster in panel 5. so cuteee~
I cant wait to see more : D

Thanks! I tried to keep her in character. I wasn't sure if I was playing Aquin up too much but he actually ended up pretty central to the comic. Idk.

Despereaux-7 In reply to Res-Gestae [2011-01-25 05:17:32 +0000 UTC]

No having her so upset like that over Aquin was perfect!
Im always so worried i dont explain my characters well enough but you honestly kept her in character the whole time : )
I like how you had her talk to the screw too!
she is such a chatter box

Niobe was pretty easy. Her motivation was simple so that made things easy enough.

Do you now? I was concerned she might come off as kind of nuts. I'm glad it works.

RockyDee [2011-01-23 03:52:40 +0000 UTC]

I'm so lost! I though they were trying to get each others screw things? Why is she so concerned about him?

Res-Gestae In reply to RockyDee [2011-01-25 05:05:09 +0000 UTC]

They are. Well, the rules of the OCT say they are. In round 1 , Niobe didn't fight her opponent. They became friends. Way I see it, Niobe isn't going to befriend a potentially dangerous opponent and then punch a little kid in the face.

I love all the textures in this page....especially in the fourth panel. It's so pretty. c:

The last panel made me laugh. I've seen that happen plenty of times. XD

Thank you! I like the streaks on the fourth panel myself.

Oh yeah? You spend a lot of time by the water?

I can tell how the contrast between the first few panels and the last two could be awkward, but it seems to be balanced pretty well from where you darkened it. In addition, from what I've seen, you've done a really good job of getting into Niobe's head and showing how she'd act in this situation.

XD I've done that before with my younger sisters. The kid's got a surprisingly strong arm!

I was worried I killed it with digital edits but there's a deadline so a girl's gotta do what I girl's gotta do. I'm just glad it ended up okay.

I'm surprised how many comments I've got from people who have experience with kids flipping out in the water. Is this a common life experience?
