Into the dark
Now why couldn’t they have stored everything in a nice, friendly place?

WoW, now it shouws that you’re using a different software 😀 Guess we just need to get used to it 🙂
The lines and colors do look better with Manga studio. 🙂
I can actually hear this tune playing in the background while they’re in the mine, and I hope they don’t run into any lava. 😛
Thanks! My pencil work has always been a lot better than my digital ink, and I was never sure why. Manga studio seems to have given me technological crutch that I need.
Now that I’ve had some time to play with Manga studio, it’s given me some ideas on how I might do things differently in Photoshop. (I’m still coloring in Photoshop – the entry level version of Manga studio I’m using doesn’t handle colors very well.) We’ll see which wins out as I continue to try random stuff.
Ah, Ys. Brings back memories. 🙂 Somehow in this remix I’m picturing a Dirty Dancing John Travolta descending into the caves.
That bloke’s a regular ray of sunshine, eh?
It might be the cleaner lines, but the characters look sharper, almost stylized here. Whatever the cause, it’s always neat to watch your style change. 😮
He just doesn’t like cleaning up the mess.
I have redesigned the characters a bit. Before they had more human like torsos with thick necks and higher snouts. Now they’ve got more of a Warner Bros style.
I’ve also been stealing some scenery from Bear Nuts. (http://www.bearnutscomic.com/) Alison Acton does some great outdoor backgrounds. I’ve been studying her caves, trying to figure out how she does that.
Ya know, I think I hadn’t noticed the caves before because they worked so well. Looking closer and comparing them to their inspiration, they seem like a nice, appealing way of of portraying something that might otherwise be very drab. Solid! 😛
The caves show ‘depth’ really well. Like their shading too.
