Drunken Guards Assemble!! X3

Anyways messed around with the layout for this page for quite a while before landing on this final design.

Quick question: Do you guys like my “sketchy” shading? I began using it around when my comic started taking place at night so that I could create a darker more dynamic source of light. Eventually I obviously plan on making another comic page that will take place during the day, and I was curious if you guys had a preference?

Now we get to learn a little about this character that Dayton inconveniently bumped into last page :3

Also that overhead panel was super tricky to draw >.<

Sorry about getting this one done late. Hope it was worth the wait! 😀

Great, just what our characters needed. And just when they thought they were home free…

Oh hey there Ryke! Haven’t seen you in what feels like forever 😛

Gosh this page… It took forever to get done.

The finished product doesn’t even resemble the original mockup I made. I was really pleased with how the perspective came out on some of these panels. It was also really fun to do a page mostly devoted to movement and few actual word bubbles :3

Poor Levi…He couldn’t even make one page before he was landed upon by another falling Mel :3

Thankfully it looks like he ain’t too upset this time.

Gosh! These poses and motions were really hard to draw for this page o_O

And they finally emerge from the tunnels. Well now that I’ve spent some time on practicing tunnels and passageways for backgrounds, I have to get back to drawing cities…

Well, I’m back to slaving away at college once more. This also means I’m back to using the college scanners, for better or worse.

On today’s page I take another shot at the action scene. I still have a lot of improvement to accomplish, but I feel that I am learning. ^^

Aw, just when Dayton and Mr. Connors thought they were off the hook…

Note to self, don’t ever draw this many tiny characters on one page, WAY too painstaking to illustrate all of them O_o

Definitely one of the more challenging pages, if not for all the small characters, but especially for the perspective. It took me a long time to visualize in my head how each panel should be built, where the vanishing points were, if it should be a one, two, or even three point perspective >.< Can you believe that before starting this comic I never drew my characters in a setting or background. Now all that inexperience is really biting me in the butt, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Hooray! First comic of 2015! (almost signed this page with 2014...)

Hooray! 40 Pages!!!

It would appear that our bandit friends have a slight problem…

Chase scenes are a lot harder to draw then I expected…

I worked for quite a while on designing and redesigning this page. Oh, and if you haven’t noticed I’m back to my old scanner. I’m not really fond of how grainy it makes the images look, but I guess it’s better than nothing!
