Page 23 of the collab group comic, #Silva-Magna | done by myself, =Enaxn , *BecSparrow , and *FireofAnubis ~

This is by far one of my absolute favorite pages I've done! SO MUCH GLOW. * u * Leave it to the girls to be responsible and help Zack to his feet while Fu is lured away by a will-o'-the-wisp! *shutupIsawBrave* Wandering off in this strange cave sounds like a terrible idea but as we've all seen, Fu is full of terrible ideas. I took off with Anne's idea of glowy borders and threw in a little texture for that rocky cavey feeling, its super sexy in my opinion! 8D

Are y'all still making more pages? Most comics like this don't continue.

As of current *BecSparrow is doing the pages while we all find a rotation that works for our life schedules. You can check out the comic's group page for more information, she keeps it updated pretty regularly~

HJGASFDHJGASJDG! I thought I'd commented already!! >______>
I've actually looked at this loads of times now! Haha

HNG girl, your pages are always SO GOOD! I have to stay the panels are amazing! I love how they glow and I love the patchy texture on them! WOW! 8D The panels glow with the glowies! 8D Ah!!

OMG, you draw Beccat so amazingly! The rear 3/4 shot is so hard but you made it look so effortless and easy! I hate shading Beccat because I find it so hard to make white look natural, but the slight grey/blue you've used is so perfect and you managed to make her blend in perfectly without making her look unnatural or slightly glowly like she seems to in my pages >___> UGH I really like the shot of Switchie helping Zack up too!

I love how Fu kind of sneaks off too! I can so imagine the wisp has floated past his head and he's just followed it with his head and then got up to follow it all like "OOOOOOoooooooooooooooh 8D"

Everyone has such cute faces and Beccat has a great butt and smile! HAHA
You work so well with cool colours! Everything just FITS amazingly here and I really like your panel layout too!

SOULS It's always a pleasure to follow your awesome pages 8'D
This is so gorgeous

I FELT YOU COMMENT ALREADY IN MY HEART. *shot* < u <;;;

jfdkfjsdklfjsklfsdjkfs Thank you! I wasn't sure on panel shapes this time but I figured leading in with a gentle curve first would be good! And then Anne with her amazing GLOWIES fjksljkflsdsd I had to continue the theme~ <3333

OH GOD YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAD TO FIX HER TORSO OH GOD BECCA. fjdskjfksldfjksdl Since I did my page on paper first, Beccat has this tiny short little sausage torso and fjdsjfdls SO BAD. Thank god for Photoshop so I could FIX it~ *sobsobsobsob* But I'm glad she turned out so well! I think I had the most fun doing the shading on her because I COULDN'T use stark white. Like I mentioned to Anubis, this page was the first time I really got to work with making colors look natural in the dark. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED; CHALLENGE DEFEATED.

That's pretty much how I saw it too! XDDD Oh FuBeans, what are you doing? lololololololol

THANK YOU BECCAFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE <333333333333333333333333333

BecSparrow In reply to soulspoison [2012-12-20 00:08:10 +0000 UTC]

YES AND YOU DID SUCH A GOOD JOB! I have to say I hate shading Beccat, I either her her look like she's glowing accidentally, or she looks grey. I just haven't found the right balance >___> but you did her perfectly!

And YES you nailed the torso shots too! You win 20 cappuccinos! 8'D

I hope my follow up page was okay. Hopefully gives Fu a nice easy entrance again when you're ready

soulspoison In reply to BecSparrow [2012-12-27 18:33:39 +0000 UTC]

Its really hard to find that right balance! Especially with characters that are really chromatic or vibrantly colored. @ n @ I think black and white are the two easiest to work with since they pick up and reflect any color around ajfksjkflsdfds

YAY CAPPUCCINOS FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~ <33333333333333

OMG ARE YOU KIDDING?! ITS WONDERFUL! I'm so so so late replying and commenting on here! x n x

IS IT WEIRD THAT THE BORDERS CAUGHT MY EYE FIRST? The texturey-glowy-patchy effect is FANTASTIC is gives the whole page an excellent roundness....like...it all flows together and the borders don’t seem like BOLD WALLS BLOCKING EACH SCENE
as if each panel flows together....idk I’m explaining it poorly BUT I HOPE YOU GET WHAT I MEAN

tl;dr: THOSE BORDERS FFF

Moving on I am in love with your shading style Soulslove wow!!
The blue tones in this page shroud all of the characters so nicely you can FEEL the enveloping glow and darkness in the cave! The reds of Beccat and Zack are so deliciously muted but you can still tell how distinct they are!

USE THOSE MUSCLES WOMEN! HEAVE!!!

Silly Fu waddling off to explore and leaving the girlies to try and lift ‘chubby hubby’ to his feet!

The angles here are really nice, I like how Zack’s face is always half covered or blocked by one of the others or by the borders....I don’t know why but it sort of emphasizes his pain....like he’s feeling really small and vulnerable right now....idk if you planned it or not but it sets a nice tone for how he is feeling!

Once again Beccat and Switchie look so wonderfully pretty and especially Beccat in that last panel, her bright eyes and pink nose really stand out! She looks so purdy <3333333

Another spectacular page Souls my love! I hope you are well and it would be good to catch up with you in the future! It’s been way too long since we had a proper chat!

LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL COMMENT FROM MY ANUBISFACE~ <33333

I'm glad the borders caught your eye first! Its a lure to bring you into the comic and environment so you feel like you're right there with them! ; u ; I GET WHAT CHU MEAN BB~!

NNNNNGH BLUUUUUUUUE! Its actually been a learning experience for me doing each page, especially this one. I've never been good and muting or desaturating colors to make them look natural in the dark, hearing that makes me feel AWESOME.

Fu is about as useful as a brick right now lololololololololol~ XDDDD But I love hiiim!

I DID NOT PLAN THIS BUT SINCE YOU SAID IT I WILL TOTALLY SAY I PLANNED IT COUGHCOUGHCOUGH > >;;; You make a very good point my darling! I hadn't even thought of it like that! HIDDEN ELEMENTS OF DESIGN~

Senk you bb! > u < <33333333333 Yes we should chat soon! There's been a lot that's gone on while you've been awaaaaaaaaaaaaaay~

Daww, poor Zackie. But at least he's attended by two lovely girls!
Fu's little tail dragging out of the frame is just SO cute!
I really like the border of the panels! It's really awesome, and it works so well with the setting!
