Description "Hold on. We're not alone."

Um. I'm not sure what to write here.

I made a background which I really liked for one of my short story comics, so I decided to spruce the picture up a little, replace one of the figures, and submit it as a deviation. That’s why the composition is a bit odd: it works fine for a comic panel, but it’s a trifle funny for a full-blown picture.

It certainly took me long enough to make it. Five hours for the background alone, I swear. Like… from 11pm until 4am. It'd probably have been less if my computer wasn't bent on committing suicide, but ah well. You just have to live with these things.

Oh, bamboo, thou art a BANE.

A BANE.

Ohe of the things I really like about comics, is that they give us the excuse to draw strange frames, and not complain about them ^_^

Such talent! I'm just not sure outside the widow matches. It looks a little to surreal for the rest.
It looks more like a painting.

Yes, you're right, it does. I wonder how I could make it look less like one.

Dark outlines on the bridge and hills may help.
I'm not sure how well, but it is a thought.

I'll have to agree with you on the background--it fits everything very well. *ennnnnnnnvy*

It's very tense and anticipating. Nice.

You can *feel* the sudden quiet that just fell on them, the quiet ring of metal as her knife is quickly drawn and she settles her feet into a ready stance.

The golden girl's skirt details are teh luv, by the way!

Beautiful. The shading and detailing on the outfits is awesome, and I love love love the view through the window, and the shape of the girl's hand and the way her hair drapes and falls.... This is great!

Um, no XD I just kind of made it up as I went along: experiemented here and there, looked at other people's stuff, used a shameful amount of Undo, that kind of thing. I'm sure there are tutorials, but mostly I didn't use them.

Alright! Caption time!! Maybe something like this:

"I don't know, according to the code of 'honour', we must be fillial..."

"Our mother is a pirate."

"We'll make an exception."
