ArChip, you're getting better!!


I think that's the highest priority currently. I guess that if Opus is too busy, then ArChip should try it.

Could I do some coloring for the comic in the meantime?

Guys, check out the "Illustrations needed for VS Episode 1 thread." I added more of the script and also there's a question/suggestion on there for the artists about how we can move forward.

Here's Jarrett's colored version.

I added a few features to Syrena's design.

Not bad, but looks too much like a bear, he needs more markings, here's a real Wolverine for comparison: http://mindjourney1962.files.wordpress. ... ephoto.jpg His snout should also be a bit longer.

Today I continued drawing thumbnails.

This is GREAT, ArChip! Now we almost have a full page!

Thumbnail #6.
The whole page "as it is" (A4 (297x210mm) page scanned) is available here http://archip.deviantart.com/art/Desert-quot-2nd-pilot-quot-intro-scene-185829815

As I said to ArChip : this is a GREAT work!!! I especially love the shading he's using.

Although something is bothering me : it looks too "monotonous". Usually comics are not just rectangles of the same size.
I think we'll need to re-layout this, but it's already a very good basis.

Also, I suggested that maybe we could start the comic with a different scene.

Wow! That's amazing work! It looks very good.

Some sketches I've done today.And yes, previous panels were more storyboard-like, not comics.
BnW (more "visible") versions:

ArChip, this is great! (much better than my page)
I have only one concern, is this part of the 2nd pilot and if yes, which scene? I would like us to avoid re-doing the same work several times as much as possible.

Page 2 is from beginning and some its variations (and this are sketches, so if something is approved, it should be redo in good-slow "mode"). I agree with you, Steet, that's better to avoid doing the same work.
On the other hand, there will be a choice between layouts, for example we've yours and Akus' layouts of two pages, and your first page fits better, we can choice your layout for 1st page, than Akus' 2nd page is more suitable - we can use this, etc.
Of course that doesn't mean we all should do the same pages, but sometimes...?

No, actually my page is not from the same scene (it's supposed to be part of the 4-pages introduction to the comic) while Aku's pages are for the beginning of the 2nd pilot which comes after. Sorry if this is unclear...

I get your point, it's just that it's so much work to do a comic that we should avoid doing the same pages. If you think there are things to correct in the previews sketches, it's when you should tell us! so that we can improve.

Maybe we just need something to help dividing the work in a clearer way. Aku, maybe you could tell us which paragraph/scene your 6-pages ends? So that someone else like ArChip could help and start doing the layout for the next scenes.

I'm honestly just glad we're getting some progress. I really wish I was a better artist than I am so I could help more, but I can't. Well at least at drawing humanoid animals, I'm better at no anthromorphic ones.
