Description I apologize for the corny flufffest but it was needed here!

Sanet has a really bad night, dreaming about his wife Violet Wittyfort.
He has a lot of emotional baggage from the past but he manages to cope with it most of the time. But sometimes it gets to him hard.

And to think that firstly I just wanted to draw Sanet with his natural hair colour (at least natural for him now) - it grew quite a lot xD

Also, if you remember Sanets age meme a while back, you might have noticed that the name of Sanets wife changed - the change is done for story purposes

My actual first comic ever 8D So I hope everything is cohesive :3
I learned a lot here - the layouting, the placement of text bubbles and so on - sure it could be better but I'm quite pleased with this first test

Now to find a writer >> Because this is my biggest weakness D: I am so jealo of people who can draw AND write an interesting story

I wanted to thank *rejlan for some neat ideas for the text

looks great, nice style and colouring ;] It's actually interesting for me, cause I think of doing a short comics-style work soon, I find it very good for telling short stories ;]

Thank you so much :3 It was actually my first ever comic so I'm double happy that people enjoy it xD
And yup - if you feel confident enough telling a short story through comic is a great thing!

O rany, jak tu sie zabrac.
Jak juz ustalilysmy, nie ma tu co mowic i marudzic o pisaniu, bo to krotki material; jak wezmiesz sie za cos dluzszego, to bedzie mozna dumac
Bardzo dobrze skomponowane, dobre przejscia i kadry. Przede wszystkim bardzo rozne ujecia - od gory tak, od gory inaczej, z tej strony, z tamtej - cos, co sama zaniedbuje, wiec rzucilo mi sie w oczy

Zgodze sie z jednym z komentarzy, ze fragment, gdy Sanet wspomina rozmowe moglby byc troche klarowniejszy przez uzycie wyraznie innej czcionki (ta jest dosc subtelna) albo inne zaznaczenie dymka; na poczatku sie troche skonsternowalam, a w ogole moja pierwsza mysl (smiej sie do woli) "Miala na imie Violet? czekaj bedzie farbowal? O RANY ON JA PRZEROBIL PO SMIERCI NA FARBE DO WLOSOW". Ale to jestem ja, w stane moglam byc watpliwym, wiec sie nie przejmuj. Czasem wydaje mi sie, ze mam naprawde jasno postawione sceny itd w komiksie czy opowiadaniu, a ludzie i tak sie konsternuja.

Bardzo cieszy oko taka zywa dynamika postaci, bo chociaz Twoje ilustracje sa niesamowicie dynamiczne... to jednak inaczej jest poczytac komiks, w ktorym akcja, nawet krotka, ma okazje sie rozwinac, a postacie porobic rozne miny. Po prostu jakbysmy na chwile zajrzeli do ich zycia i chwile je poogladali

Bialo/siwowlosy Sanet... co powiedziec, biedny, zmeczony Sanet ktory gdzies tam w nim mimo wszystko siedzi I oczywiscie milo zobaczyc Silve
Wystroj przyznam ze specyficzny ale jak tam Sanet lubi

Co do samej zas tresci (dobrze zaprezentowanej, cala scena/sceny jest spojna caloscia), podoba sie, nie przesadzilas wcale z rozklejeniem/zemowieniem/czymkolwiek jest to raczej refleksyjno-smutne, zwlaszcza sam moment, kiedy Sanet wspomina rozmowe i odbarwia (? odfarbuje? eee tam polska jezyka) wlosy.

Krzyczalabym: wiecej! wiecej! ale patrzac na to, jak wiele musialas w to wlozyc czasu i wysilku... a tam, chrzanic, wiecej! xD

Uch a teraz to na ostatek xD

Ciesze sie ze rozne podejscia do kadrow dzialaja! Zawsze lubilam dynamiccznoosc na kadrach wiec naturalnie mi jakos wyszlo pokazywanie rzeczy z roznych punktow x3

Tak se pozniej patrzalam jak to teraz ludzie robia (bo zem zapomniala i nie mogla se przypomniec) i w sumie powinnam byla uzyc kwadratowych dymkow
Tyle ci powiem ze na poczatku bylo jeszcze gorzej bo czczionka nie byla szarawa xD

...

D:
Na farbe do wlosow! D: Sanet wytlumacz sie!
Sanet: Ale to nie ja mam takie pomysly okropne! Sm robie swoje farby ale nie uzywam do nich nic zywego a juz na pewno nie moja zone! D':

Ah wiem! Dlatego chcialabym wiecej komiksow wydziubac - choc krociutkich :'C

Dokladnie dlatego chcialam ten komiks wydziubac - zeby ta strone Saneta pokazac - w koncu jak ktos ma ponad 200 lat musi miec dosc ciezki bagaz emocjonalny

Ah Silva Silva - jakos ciagle nie moze sie wybic z pomyslem na swoj rysunek D:

Ano ma wlasny styl xD Taki modernizm polaczony z ozdobnymi artystycznymi detalami a wszytsko otwarte i przestrzenne



No baz ze wiecej tylko musk bedzie spolpracowal z checiami 8I

I'm so GLAD that it is understandable and pleasant to read/view as I was afraid that it won't be x3

Sanet: You really like them? Well....I could leave them for a while more, as long as no paparazzi see me like this - no need to get another gossip going *smile*

Oh geeze, I find it hard to believe that you need a writer! XD This is a pretty epic comic - especially for a first try. You have really great pacing for this kind of thing. I know you've already gotten wonderful suggestions for the text in grey, but another thing that might help would be shrinking the text a little bit more so it gives off a bit too much white of the bubble and stands out as more of a whisper of the past. IDK, it's been so long since I've actually drawn/thumbed out a comic so that might not actually work. I've seen people simply put the bubbles slightly transparent and have it work fantastic for them. Sorry if that still doesn't even help ><;
Anyway, I really love the fluff in here. It's just so adorable and kinda sad, but still heartwarming in a way.

It's funny that you think Sanet as so infallible and strong for others, that you never think that he has moments where he needs comfort.

He looks so miserable and shaken up after the nightmare. I like this everyday glimpse into his life. And Silva I haven't seen in a while. But I thought he had hooves.He looks like he has toes here. I could be wrong.

The last panel was so cute! Their expressions are just delightful. Please continue!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

iisjah In reply to PHarold [2011-12-22 21:07:26 +0000 UTC]

The memories sometimes overwhelm him but they are also the reason why he want to make the world better to live for every one

Oh I draw Silva far to rarely D:
You noticed the feet
Actually I never did show his feet and recently I was thinking that he is not a satyr so why would he look like one? He's a kind of a homunkulus (or a genetic mutant created with alchemy) so the devision between a goat and a man could go different ways - and I was never too fond of him having hooves x3 So he has more fleshy feet but still resembling hooves in their devision

I will - I just need an idea what to draw next that would fit a comic x3

Poor Sanet: But that is a good motivation. I'd like to learn more about Violet.
That would be good to learn more about Silva;I didn't know he was a homunculus.

I love the flufffest! Would never have known this is your "actual first comic ever"!

The only thing I had a bit of a hard time with was the conversation he was remembering. The italics are a bit to subtle for the likes of me, so maybe in the future consider using a different/shape of bubble. Some of us are dense.
