Description Edit edit: Probably the last time I'm changing it, since I'm pretty happy with it now. I took out the title thing since it wasn't meshing with the composition very well.

I also changed the shading to a more Crossbones-type style. I didn't like how soft the other way looked.

Edit: Took some advice from snooogs and I spread it out to the sides which looks tons better. I got it inked/colored and all that jazz but I still would like input on it. I tried a more soft shading than I normally do but I'm unsure if I like it or not yet.

Okay, so MCAD is having the all school project this year like always and this year's theme is space and time. It's not due for six/seven/eight weeks but I figured I might as well get it done and out of the way before the school year picks up.

Marking this for critique because last year MCAD required classes to have us do this project, but this year classes aren't required to have us do this so I don't got a class to critique it (though I could just bring it to people and go "how's this?"). Therefore, I'd like some feedback before I submit it, since this show will be open to the public and all that jazz. The end project will be inked and colored.

A little background on what this is, this is a story Rick's working on that I'm doing the art for. Probably won't get to this comic until later. This is a completely separate series than A Loonatic's Tale and has a definite end (so I'd probably rate it more of a graphic novel sooner than a series).

It's about a mad doctor (Truman, with the gun) leaving Earth to take over other planets. This picture shows them on Mars. He's got a robot he made (named Robot, the doctor isn't the creative type), an alien girl (who also isn't named/is given a really dumb name), and the detective alien that hunts down Truman to trash his plans (Grand Inquisitor Wisteria). The story and art style is kind of like a 1950's take on space and very B-movie-ish in its grasp on space. Also, in the back, is the doctor's ship called the Widowmaker.

So yes, tell me what you think. I also know the Widowmaker is tilted and that'll be fixed in the final version. I actually see it a lot easier when I scan things since the screen's straight.

I think Truman looks badass...and kind of cute too. 0__0 Would he mind giving me those boots?

He probably would mind. He has a bit of a temper.

Even if I asked nicely and told him I thought he was handsome?

No, but if you told Robot he was handsome, he'd get the boots for you.

Actually he is quite good looking for a robot. He knows how to dress nice that's for sure.

Well, it seems to me that it would make the most sense for the second row of mountains to be lighter.

I don't know how many vistas you've seen, but I've been on far more road trips than I can count and the furthest mountains are always bluest.

This planets soil and atmosphere are different though, so I'd hardly expect them to be by any means bluish, but some lighter color would probably be a match.

BeckKeep In reply to Aeovis [2009-09-01 19:49:33 +0000 UTC]

I tried out some stuff and edited it. I thought you said blurred rather than blue, so I ended up making it more blurry (which of itself also happens when you look at something at a distance). Anyways, does this look better or should I push it further?

Aeovis In reply to BeckKeep [2009-09-01 20:29:27 +0000 UTC]

Oooh. it does look nice. It looks further away then before, but you could maybe put a bit of low-opacity... uh... sky color on it? I'm not sure how far is good, so maybe take a poll on it? XD

Journal poll? . A .

This looks really cool! I need to finish "Loonatic's Tale", but then I'm reading your Mastermind comic.

BeckKeep In reply to YTcyberpunk [2009-08-28 15:38:36 +0000 UTC]

It probably won't get a comic until I'm after school, probably in batches rather than one-page-a-week updates. There are some other comics around though when you finish that (Vagabond, Crossbones). 8D

YTcyberpunk In reply to BeckKeep [2009-08-28 22:07:01 +0000 UTC]

Ok, thanks! I'll check those other comics out. (Actually, my friend already showed me one of the Vagabond commics. I hope you take this as a compliment, but that character of yours is quite sexy.) Anyway, I'll be pretty busy soon too, with school again. So no hurry on the new comics anyway.
