Description So much screen tone on this page! The hatching in the bottom panel is tone, along with both of their clothes and the background, and, yeah. Reference used on the background.

On this page: Blackwood fights through the briar patch at the castle gates and runs up the path, only to find Casablancas lying on the ground, deathly pale and with some curious bite marks on his neck....

Beginning | Previous Page | Next Page

These pages take me so much longer to do than pages for The Industry, they're taking about a week each and I have to do the digital work in two sittings. My lord! Rofl.

...hello random Industry-reader? 8D

Anyway, umm, I have to have it done before June so that I have it for my next comic convention...which technically means I should've started work sometime back in November...heh heh heh...anyway, Dead Little Princes is only supposed to be ten pages and I was going to finish that first but with the way people keep asking me about The Industry, I'm starting to think about doing it simultaneously with DLP.

Just because you asked! XD XD XD

And, yeah, DLP is more focused on the artwork, whereas The Industry is more focused on the storyline. Ha ha. <3 Thank you!

Lol, yeah, it's my favorite song by them too. I think there are longer song titles out there...maybe...maybe not...ha ha.

Like I've told you before--make every single article of clothing you've ever designed and send it to MY HOUSE. ): I LOVE Blackwood's jacket, as does everyone else. xD How do you come up with these things? ;__;

Casablancas looks so hot on the floor. If I were Blackwood, I'd touch him a little before angsting. *NO SHAME* God I love these two so much.

Twelfthgecko In reply to kaya-kioko [2007-01-10 02:16:44 +0000 UTC]

I have no doubt that Blackwood is touching Casablancas inbetween pages 4 and 5 when we can't see them. No doubt whatsoever.

XDDD

Out of curiosity, are you applying the screentones manually or digitally?
Excuse any typos; I'm very inebriated. It's not the typical weekday thing; get back to me tomorrow for more info.

Twelfthgecko In reply to The-Traitor-McDohl [2007-01-09 22:25:38 +0000 UTC]

Whassamatter, boy?! Incidentally you typed that perfectly.

...I'm applying them digitally, for the most part--the plaid tone I did manually. I want to apply them manually but I'm afraid of getting that moire effect when I scan and resize them. But they're real tone scanned in and then superimposed on the page.

Anyway stop making me worry, what's up?

Hmmm... not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that...
I did want to tell you about a very good movie I'd watched last night called "Art School Confidential." It's the most accurate portrayal of art school life I'd ever seen; it's scary close. I was kinda weepy and nostalgic, which was exacerbated by my good friend Captain Morgan.
Anyhoo, very sorry to worry you, 12.
How's life treatin' you?

Twelfthgecko In reply to The-Traitor-McDohl [2007-01-10 15:03:42 +0000 UTC]

Ha ha ha ha! You crazy. One of my other friends actually invited me to go see that when it was out in theaters, but I...had work as usual so I never got to see it.

Anyway, life is treating me a little better...I'm being stalked by this guy I used to go to school with, he's really sketchy and I'm pretty much terrified of him, BUT on the other hand, it makes for some pretty hilarious stories, which I'll tell you sometime. I'm getting a little more time off from work now because all the college kids are home, but apparently things are going to go back to the way they were once everybody goes back. Ughhhhh~

A stalker? Spooky...
I've never been stalked before, but I'd imagine it's like a cross between being flattered and wanting to cry.
Anyhoo, stay safe, eh?

Don't hesitate to get the authorities involved if necessary.
You said you had a funny story about it, though?
Rhetorical sarcasm: What could be funnier than a crazy person that could hurt you?

Twelfthgecko In reply to The-Traitor-McDohl [2007-01-11 17:59:51 +0000 UTC]

I have a lot of ridiculous anecdotes from it, but I think the best one is that when he came after me in November, I finally tried making up a fake boyfriend to get him off my case; I didn't think he would really go for it, but he totally fell for it and every time he comes after me the first words out of his mouth are, "So how's your boyfriend?!?!?!" All my friends are in on it too, so even when he asks about my "boyfriend" they tell him I'm out with him, ha ha ha.

But, yeah, I have considered going to the authorities and probably still will if he hasn't left me alone in a couple of months.

The-Traitor-McDohl In reply to Twelfthgecko [2007-01-11 20:37:37 +0000 UTC]

Just taser him a couple times and he should get the hint. Just kidding.... sorta.
In my opinion: it's nicer to be mean; sometimes telling someone off and being the bad guy is actually being the good guy in the long run.
But I'm prying WAY more than I ought to, so I'll wrap this up.
Hope all goes well.

The last couple of times I've seen him I've been really quite cold, so, he seems to be picking up a little on that...though not enough to leave me alone...jeez. Oh well, I'll be all right.

and YES his hair is a bitch. I have to look back at that first picture of him every time I draw him, just for reference.

ishmeep In reply to Twelfthgecko [2007-01-11 03:16:32 +0000 UTC]

Ngghhh. The hair's not as bad as the face. He has a very specific face and it looks like crap if you do one little thing wrong. D:

D: BUT I CAN'T GET THE PANDA EYES RIGHT. And he looks funny if you try to make him smile!

Twelfthgecko In reply to ishmeep [2007-01-12 16:24:41 +0000 UTC]

...Oh. Oh, yeah, well that's very true. I tried to draw him smiling once and that didn't work out at all. So, okay, yes, I see your point. Ha ha ha.

The way I look at the eyes is, they're supposed to me more realistically shaped eyes (as opposed to an anime eye) but without pupils. And then I draw a big lopsided circle around each one--the top is where the eyebrow would be (no eyebrows though) and the bottom is supposed to sort of reach the cheekbone. Er, I doubt that helps, but maaaybe...? Ha ha.

What's funny about this is that the person who commented right after you left almost the exact same comment and apparently it was entirely unintentional. Ha haaa~

Yea...Ok. Back to explore the details.

AGain, the love of Blackwood's jacket, his pants are cool too.
And Casablancas....*Tisk tisk* HE looks so nice in his....em....dying moment? The tint of yellow, that dash of red. Beautiful.

Tis no better place to lay in ruin that a garden of roses. Tis not a better way to cry than by your lovers side.
