I'm so sorry for the long wait!
Quite boring but it picks up when they get home; I assure you. :3
This is where Xhal stops being such a coward; he starts to stand up for himself and become braver but its still a way off.

Crits & Questions are welcome; I'm sure there's a spelling mistake somewhere.

*horrible person for not being on xP*

Okay, my usual crits and comments coming right up! For one... yus, spelling error: 'Happened' instead of 'Happent'.

Hmm... I like how the story's starting to come along, although I am severly depressed Dante's being abducted!
But anyway, I reeeaaally like that picture of... um... Mr. Snarlz. XD When he's all demanding and defensive. Poor dude!
Just as a suggestion, maybe you should do more close-up pics rather than the farther-off ones? Or try different perspectives? I see you try to do dramatic effects by just showing the muzzle or some such thing like that, and it's a neat trick.

On a totally different note... you can hit me now for being so inactive.

Sorry for the late reply, T!

Yeah, Jade pointed that out; theres always one mistake lurking somewhere! :3
Yeah.... sorry about that! but still, atleast he didn't die, eh? Besides, you'll see him later! Do n00t fret!

Yeah, I usually do more close-up ones when theres DRAMUH lurking around. I'd try different prespectives, like that last page for example, but they take way too much time to do. :c But nevertheless, I shall try and do moar prespective poses! :3

You needed to ask?

GACKK!!! TEH BIRDIE!!! TEH BIRDIE OKZ?!??!!


AWWW BIRDIE!!!...

lol....good page. The close up of th eye is REALL nice. You should blur the outside rim of it though, so that the color against the white of the eye doesnt look so sharp. ^^

Nice work.

Thank you, Dracon!
Thank you very much for the crit! I'll remember to blur the iris next time. I don't usually do eye close-up's!

ooh yay! More pages for the WIN! <8D *flail*

I dunno if I mentioned it previously, but did I say I love your shading? Because I really do. xD It always comes out so clean and it fits the characters and the over all style perfectly.

The panel arrangements are also very interesting. Not sure if it looks too well on slow-paced parts of the story, but on dramatic climactic parts such as this it works fantastic.

Aww, poor birdy D: He needs a band-aid.

Love the snarl/angry face in the *counts* 9th (?) panel. What's that guy's name again? Sorry, a little slow when it comes to names

I can see you're taking your time and making everything as good as it can get. Keep doin' whatcha doin'!

Thank you, Filly!
The lines come out all smooth and clean because of the Pen Tool! 8D Its just the best thing since sliced bread! I think he'll need more than a band-aid! D=
I'm the same; names always seem to dissapear when I need to remember them! His name is Axton. I think I'm always slow as hell when I'm sketching but once everything looks alright; its fast sailing from there!

Thank you, Hail! I'm so glad that you like the eyes! My favorite part and its pretty rare that I do a close-up on the eye so its good that it turned out well! <3

Rinzydings [2009-01-10 01:18:48 +0000 UTC]

Yay next page ^^.

Your backgrounds turned out amazing. And your anatomy has impored a lot, it looks so good . I really love the eye shot, it's really fantastic .

The only thing that's odd is the "happent" in the first panel. I believe you meant happened or happen ? Great overall ^^.

iamPURPLE [2009-01-10 00:39:53 +0000 UTC]

Gwah! The eyes are hypnotizing and so shiny!
Especailly that big eye shot- the colors just leave me amused and at awe.
Aw, poor Kale. Such a beauty, too- he better be alright. DX
Anatomy is amazing and improving at stunning speed.
May I ask if the rocky background was a pain?
Hmm...nothing really to critique except the spelling error on panel 1 (already caught, though)- everything appears spot on. Keep it up! Next page!

Cactus-Canine In reply to iamPURPLE [2009-01-14 17:50:58 +0000 UTC]

Awh, thank you Purple!
I love doing eyes so it was good to do a close-up!
To be honest; it wasn't as bad as the last page, I had the rocks done quite quickly on this one! xD Not nearly as painful as they were without a tablet! <3

Woohoo, new page! This is beeeautiful. :3
Thanks so much for including Solpik, he looks brilliant. ^^
I think your anatomy has really improved, it's noticeable. I especially like panel 10 (well, the one with Xhal snarling).
Lol, not that I'm great at anatomy myself, but I like how this looks.

Thank you, Azure! No worries; I kept on having to look back to see which Cameo went where! xD Everyone keeps saying that my anatomy keeps improving on each page; I really don't see it though!

Rouka-Raska In reply to Cactus-Canine [2009-01-17 20:08:57 +0000 UTC]

No problem. ^^
Well, if everyone picks up on it, it must be true right? I can really see it. You should really make one of those "Quest for Improvement" charts or something, then you can actually see the difference from your old art and now.

Jadefuzz [2009-01-10 00:21:02 +0000 UTC]

Oh no! Poor Kale! I hope he's okay...

I really like the expressions in this page! Especially the snarling one -- it looks really professional. Xhal's worried expression in the third-last panel also looks exceptional, it really captures the emotional mood!

Now for the crit.
First of all -- on the first panel, Xhal's final word is 'happent', the correct spelling being 'happened' Don't worry -- easy mistake to make!
That is, literally, the only crit I can think of! Everything about this page is perfect -- all anatomy is spot-on, and all of the shading looks perfect. Great job, Jade!

Thank you, Jade! The snarly Axton was really fun to do! <3 I hardly ever get to do snarly expressions!

Thank you for pointing that out! There's always one spelling mistake lurking around somewhere!
