[DuskOfTheStars]

Ohman, I love this! I like your art style and the plot. And someone's comment made me think, "how would Dusky feel kf sfhe was calked a variant and someone turned into a normal Flareon in front of her face?" Um... oops? I also like Atticus's dedpsign - pretty cool variant form!

i'm really glad you like it!! designing Atticus was pretty fun, it was a lot of throwing stuff at a wall and seeing what stuck. fun for me, not so much for that poor boy and how other characters see him

[Tehpikachu]

I went back and titled every page. Pages from now on will (probably) have a short title describing the action of that page. I will not be editing the posts in this thread, for those of you who would like to see them will have to view them from the SJ site.

 

Chapter 2, pg 36 (74) - Parting Ways

i luuuuuuuv Gorillaz

 

To answer your question.... an embarrassing amount of time. It might be totally normal for comic artists, but on average, a page tends to take me at least 10 hours. Not factoring in the breaks I take. One page in lining/color stage often takes me through at least 3 to 5 60-80 minute podcasts. Sketching is time consuming for other reasons...

[WaterScorpion]

haha, considering my art skill level, I don't find that embarrassing at all. but yeah, I'd probably take as long, if not longer, if I did comics. At least you can background (or successfully fudge a background)

wet grass is the worst

Cold and damp,

Steal the warm wind, tired friend

And sometimes, far too long for snakes♫

in other news...

TSSB wants your cameos!

 

As you can see, the chapter is filled with group shots. So, I'm opening up OC cameos! Rules are as follows:

 

-- Must be a pokemon, and can't stand out too much. Pokemon that stand out mostly include legendaries (and disasters like Atticus). "Variants" are allowed as long as they aren't too crazy

 

-- Please give me a reference for your character! Or at the very least, a very good description

 

-- You can give me several, but please do not Kill The Man (the man is me)

 

-- Pretty much just be reasonable and all will be well
