oh hai! I remember you in the C&C;o I think I critiqued your personal comic. so do you do draw primarily or does your partner? specifically for the art on the artbies file o; I faved one on my DA causei liked it so much <3 steam punk ballerina eh? that sounds really interesting actually. I used to do ballet when I was little (no judging! it was swag) ; ) and I love any dance aspects, and steam punk is always good. I get that, is your partner a relative or a friend? I find I work well with my sister since she draws and writes as well.
oh man the panel planning is always fun, I love the fact that you can do the whole cliff hanger thing on pretty much every page and the punch it delivers <3 I have to agree, I honestly CANNOT draw stand still pictures (easily especially) its more natural for me to draw some complicated position ive never drawn before than to do stills of people. its just too boring, drawing is for experimenting and pushing yourself C: not doing the same thing over n over
I find I love inking too, ive got a long ways to go with it, but im steadily improving . how old are you guys if you don't mind me asking?
and what kind of comics do you yourselves read?
Was that you? I'm awful at remembering usernames, haha. Thanks again, then! :3
For the Artbies page, pretty much anything dance related is stuff I've drawn, while anything, uh, steampunky? is drawn by my partner. What we plan on doing is combining our styles for the actual pages, using a bunch of mixed media techniques for the artwork. The only reason we aren't farther along is because my partner doesn't have a scanner yet so we have to set days to upload her stuff all at once. Oh! But
this one we drew together. We had loads of fun drawing that pic. It's one of the characters she's in charge of so she did the initial design, but I did the line-work, and then she did the coloring.
I was mainly a gymnast growing up, but I also did ballet and ice skating as cross-training, so there's no way I'd judge you for that.
whee I think it's a good thing! It's a lot of work to get really good at anything performance related (just like anything else). For my half of the cast, I plan to add that dynamic of teamwork-but-also-competition in the subplots related to the dance studio.
My partner is a good friend who also lived with me for a while. We're pretty close, hang out whenever we can, and work on the comic whenever we can muster up the energy. We're both college-aged (although, I've graduated and she still has a year or two left).
I used to read lots of manga back when I was in high school, but there was one American comic I could never get enough of: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
emotion_awesome But mainly I liked stuff with distinct art styles, like CLAMP's various works and Saiyuki (love-love-
love Kazuya Minekura's art style). Weirdly enough, I could never get into the art style of One Piece, even though it was really different and I usually like different. I was and still am a Rurouni Kenshin fanatic, too. Shaman King was also good. Really, I was all over the manga section of my library when I was younger.
My partner was largely the same from what she tells me. I think she liked a lot of shoujo titles as well, unlike me who wanted all action all the time and barely any romance. xD I know she's got Absolute Boyfriend on her shelf, along with a few other titles I know were popular but can't remember at the moment. Oh, but we both agree that Fullmetal Alchemist is amazing. She's a Green Arrow fanatic too, and many of our mutual friends are into DC and Marvel comics (mostly DC, I think) as well, so we both appreciate those types of works even if we don't read them religiously.
So, lots and lots and
lots of influence from Japan, plus some from American comics, you could say.
