Description Do not normally do 'comic' style like this, I would like to get better at it.

For #Windsonde

Berra would really like to talk about her grievances with the war and seeks out her 'cousin' Rakhamat. As soon as she sees her however, she realizes Rakh is way too invested and loyal to sympathise with what she would have said. Berra's complaints would just burn right back in her face. She backs off.

:'C

(~khyterra I hope you do not mind, I took my cue from the recent RP posts that Rakh is 100% devoted to queen and cause. I figured this would be a hard topic for the two of them to address, so they just avoid it...)

D'aww, this is awesome. I do not mind at all! I'm sure their relationship would become somewhat strained at this point because of the war-- especially since, like you said, Rakhamat is an absolute fanatic for her Queen, even if she loves her 'cousin' in her own special way.

I love the expressions in this, you did a great job with both characters in so few panels! Hopefully I'll have my war picture up in the next few days-- I think it'll really be a tipping point for both of them.

Yay, thank you!
Yeah, things will be hard. Cannot WAIT to see your picture!
There going to be some serious shit going down with my subs eventually (going to wait until near the 'end' of the war), but I want to incorporate whatever happens with your picture into the descriptioooooooon kay?

I love this style that you use... The mix of slightly rough lines, hatching, and soft shading just looks so good. I can't draw anything like this without it looking scribbly, and I'm certainly not good/patient enough for a 'polished' look.

But I just love this.

Thanks Kiso! It is a style I wish I could do better, to make it look more 'polished' as you say. Perhaps with more practice... P:

I love their expressions. The last panel is especially poignant.

Poor Berra, I wish I could lend an ear, sometimes just talking about it helps. :/ This is beautifully drawn! I yet again drool over your epic talent. Your style is so unique! >.<

She was hoping Rakh could lend an ear, but that ship sailed on the war topic at least.
Thanks! :'}

Thanks! It was... interesting trying to get the right expression onto Berra's face in the middle left panel.

Looks like pastels! The style reminds me a lot of an issue of the comic series Fables illustrated by Michael and Laura Allred. Will there be more pages?

Oooh, I will have to look that up... P:
Naw, just the one. I wanted to further illustrate Berra's issues with the war (and I wanted an excuse to draw her with Rakh again, love her character!)

I love how you were able to show so much emotion in just four panels, and in only three words. So awesome. <3

rydicanubis In reply to KestrelWings [2012-02-15 16:05:57 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I thought about adding another panel in there with Berra settling next to Rakhamat, but then I left it.

Haha, yeah it looks just fine as-is~ That last panel's my favorite.
