Awesome work! The nose seems slightly too big in panel one though...but great work overall!!

thanks much bro...yep i think your right about the nose there-was kind of guessing and hoping i could get that pose/panel to work. panel 3 is also proving problematic-great practice however .

so sorry I didn't comment on this when you first posted it Sel.

I was out of Town, and Just have been really busy lately.

But this is amazing!
I got the Inks posted just now BTW.

thanks so much ...its funny im still liking the first one more but coming around slowly to the idea of liking this one better...even if some of the panels are still making me wince a bit .

I wasn't talking about the panels, but about their PLACEMENT in the page ... Can't wait either for the next page ...

Selkirk In reply to schlagazoke [2010-01-29 18:27:39 +0000 UTC]

true enough...after hearing about it on outcast forums and from commenters in here i mixed it up a bit-still to come is page with a borderless panel .

Note (I'm just thinking about it), that they sometimes go VERY far in that domain, in manga. Especially in Shojo, I think. (even if it is ABSOLUTELY not what I read ).

Selkirk In reply to schlagazoke [2010-02-01 02:48:45 +0000 UTC]

yep...really a nice visual trick...seems like it would work best on big face maybe profile-or full figure scene outdoors. definitely worth experimenting with .

schlagazoke In reply to Selkirk [2010-02-01 06:19:43 +0000 UTC]

I've also seen panels, where the limits were the drawing itself.

For instance, you have a big face on the one top left quarter, so the lines of the face on it's right are the limits to the next panel. See what I mean ?

Selkirk In reply to schlagazoke [2010-02-01 18:19:23 +0000 UTC]

yeah these are great visually...really going to try to incorporate more of these styles in future pages. thumbing through manga witchblade...(for artistic reasons only ).

thanks so much ...storm really is a pleasure to draw-was thinking punk rock storm but then went old school . these pages are really challenging to do...self doubt hits on just about every panel-the struggle continues .

overall looks great. panels 3 to 5 have me a little lost.

in panel 3 orin is alive, panel 5 he's dead. what happened? raises alot of questions.

kinda jumps from one event to another with no explaination.

Selkirk In reply to next-tuezday [2010-01-28 04:56:06 +0000 UTC]

thanks so much...had some difficulty going panel to panel with this one. but at any rate it's a dream sequence...definitely would want a letterer with just some text boxes to help things along .

AMAZING!

Although I am thinking that maybe this page gets moved to page 3 and the splash page could be page 2...

You continue to amaze me!
