The floating bubble of text will totes make sense when the next page comes out!

HOLY CRAP. I DID IT! I attempted the first page of my very own ridiculous, serious-business Dragon Age fan comic.

I've decided to start one, 'cause I seriously want to force myself into uncomfortable drawing situations. Panel 2 is a prime example of one of these said uncomfortable drawing situations. Whole scenes like that? Backgrounds? TREES? THEY SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF ME. So I hope to conquer all of these little illustration fears through different settings and angles and shit like that. Oh, and I also just love Dragon Age, goddamnit.

Mayhaps, when I feel more comfortable with comics, I'll come up with something totally original. Pssh. That'll be the day. (:

THANK YOU, , for encouraging me to do this, despite my huge reluctance. You've totally inspired me to grow some ovaries, and you've been an awesome creativity cheerleader and critic. Go Team Adorkable!

(NOW PREPARE FOR A LOT OF RIDICULOUS DRAMATIC PANELS AND THE EVENTUAL UNCONVENTIONAL)

ALSO.

YOUR LINES; SMOOTH

HOW DO YOU DO THAT.

Batata-Tasha In reply to TheWhiteWolfchild [2010-08-31 20:26:39 +0000 UTC]

Well, I work in a super high resolution in Photoshop. When I open a new document, I use the U.S. Paper Preset (which has a resolution of 300, I believe). I then zoom in super close and make swift motions with my tablet pen strokes. The more zoomed out you are, the more shaky your lines are going to be. Then, of course, if my lines are too chunky in places, say, for example, the ends of hairs, I just shave them down with the eraser tool.

Hope that helped a bit! (:

And oh god. I want to learn how to work without it! I've been trying a more paint-y approach, and it's been kicking my ass. ;_;

we seem to be near-opposites on that part ;A;
omg, I started doing a LOT of realistic practice - trying to work without lineart.
Like you said, but for me, the lineart kicks mine. ;n;

it would be really silly if we - being two... say, uh, not-professional-but-kind-of-good-artists would help each other out.

now that would be silly.

Batata-Tasha In reply to Amedyr [2010-08-26 16:57:43 +0000 UTC]

They are! They force me to take all kinds of scary risks, when I'm so used to drawing stationary subjects with neutral or happy expressions and absolutely no background.

And, after peeking at your gallery, I feel like I can safely say: LIES! You're an art muscle bodybuilder. Puh-lease. (:

Well indeed! I'd now probably RP her a bit differently - being my first character, I spent most of my time getting to know how the whole system actually works, so I made choices I wouldn't do now. Well... I still like her

The second panel is amazing because HEY. You did make the fire all glow-y! It looks wonderful and the perspective is nice. Plus - TREES. Third panel is sad. :C She looks so heartbroken and lost and kdgjsfd I wanna hug her.
