Description This is just a little something I wanted to try out. xD I'm not so good at making manga strips or whatever, so I decided to see if I could get that kind of effect with photoshop. Obviously it sucks x_X but whatever.

Okay now moving on to these characters. we had some fun making up the names. The guy with the black hair is called Nihil, which in Latin means nothing. As for the other dude, we wanted to name him Necat which means something like to kill or whatever. But it sounded weird, so I dunno. I left the speech bubbles empty because I really couldn't think of anything to put in. ^^ and If you noticed that Nihil looked a bit like Sonam, it's cuz they're cousins. lol well I haven't drawn much of Sonam so ppl on devart might not know they look alike but ppl I know can tell the similarities. (my friend said Nihil looked a bit like Sasuke x_X and I hardly watch Naruto....)

And btw it goes from right to left, the comic thing. xD

I like it! I wish I could do my manga comic strips like that! But alas, all I have is my paper and pencil.
Very nice!

okay...do you now how to create a picture where the lineart is a layer upon itself.If you can do this than it makes coloring a HELL of a lot easier,or I can teach you all the tricks I learned while making this pic. [link] Along with the dozens and dozens of other shortcuts, tricks,effects, brushes and techniques I have learned throughout the years, so have at it, give me a request!

ElaineX In reply to Onishima [2007-02-12 23:56:06 +0000 UTC]

oh yeah I know the layer upon layer xD LOL i discovered that AFTER like...3 pictures D: and I was like "NUUU I spent all that time doing all that for NOTHIGN??!?!?!" xD people have given me tutorial links and stuff... but I somehow never get around to looking at tehm LOL i really should though...hmmmm if you could give me little tidbits I'd like that! I would rather follow what you tell me rather than skim through a tutorial xD i'm that lazy haha

Onishima In reply to ElaineX [2007-02-13 02:18:52 +0000 UTC]

okay, I have one ready, but I need to know if you don't know how to do this technique yet:

This potential lesson consists of creating a layer with nothing but your line art on it, allowing you to work underneith your lineart and choosing whatever color/gradiants,ect you want your lineart to be.(I have many others, but that is a fundamental technique, you understand)

Also, with the flexibility of digital media, I'd recommend putting the words down first, and then forming the dialog bubbles around them -- that way you don't have to do a thing for the right size needed for the bubbles.

Layers are a wonderful thing for making comic page layouts. ^^

ElaineX In reply to aeonic [2007-02-03 21:00:47 +0000 UTC]

xD lol yeah i only put the bubbles there because i knew i wasn't going to put any words in them.

The flow of this page is somewhat hard to follow. I have the feeling that I'm supposed to be reading it vertically, but most comics -- both Western and Japanese -- are read horizontally, whether it's left to right or right to left.
