Doujinshi 01.60

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

For the sweet 60th page, it’s the bad art with the blunt pencil! I’ve been busy with writing and house hunting to such an extent that my mindless timewasting has really taken a hit.

Someone really is having an Alucard moment today.

Btw, even though this doujin is basically play for me, critique is welcome, particularly anything specific to comics — layout, text, panel flow, camera angle, use of closeups, sound effects, backgrounds, depicting motion; anything at all.  Or if you know a tutorial that you think I should read, or pictures I should look at, please send the link. The only thing germane to comics that I’m not trying to pay attention to at all is consistency in style, because I want to try different methods of drawing. And general art crit is also welcome; I think (hope?) I’ve improved to the point where you wouldn’t be wasting your breath.This isn’t a demand for advice, just saying don’t hold back if you have it (and have time, of course).

Hmm. Tried a different style,using the wacom as a pen — in my case, a pretty clumsy pen. I think I’ll be going back to pencils. Or trying real ink — I really do need to experiment with ink and wash.

Plants…pant…pants…

Doujinshi 01.55

So, I thought it would be a challenge to draw a lot of plants. And it was!

I tried drawing Gwynn with his hair brushed back like Bancoran’s, but that meant his eyes had to show, and somehow I’ve grown attached to the version where his hair covers them. Or maybe I just suck at drawing eyes and should practice more.

Looking at the Rev on this page, I seem drawn — no pun intended — towards eyeless representations. Even Raule has her eyes shut. Perhaps they will all end up in Gaza.

I’m quite happy with how the art came out in this one, though I think I need to work on scripting speech and planning where it’s going to go.

Adding John Inman to the list of people and things I can’t draw, orz.
Btw, Mizu Natsuki has a twin sister — rumouredly identical. Bancoran’s secret identity…?

Doujinshi 01.52

I’ve been sick for a few days and haven’t felt like writing, so doujin-ahoy. Wass and Wan were around while I was doing this and asked me what the picture was about. I think I failed pretty well to explain, but succeeded in communicating through song and mime that it was a joke in loose connection with the Village People. I realised too late that this would have been a golden opportunity to dress Gwynn up as Kai. Oh, well, some other time.

It’s back! Bad art in a good cause, avec un peu de ho-yay. The images of Mr Humphries belong to the BBC, I guess.
